@mdavidford I can see how it confused you when I pointed to the reviewer at the bottom. but hey if you cant read an entire comment before getting all keyboard warrior blah, kind of like you usually do that not my fault. I should have guessed the first person to reply to a comment would be you, you cant help yourself.

@chrisonabike It never ceases to amaze me how drivers consider public land to be their private parking spaces.

Erm - it has - as per the item above: (Technically, a 'budget cap' and a 'team salary cap' aren't quite the same thing, but given how much of the costs are paying riders, it would have a similar effect.)

Well your original comment did rather suggest that was your understanding. The bit 'critiquing' the pros and cons was sandwiched in the middle of railing against the makers. And the amount of ill-thought-out tripe that gets posted under some of these reviews, it wouldn't surprise me at all if someone thought the manufacturer provided the pros and cons.

JB may not bé Mr Nice but in this case he's 100% right. I thought when Lappartient was elected he knew sod all about pro cycling and his real ambitions were related to running thé Olympics.

@mdavidford Well duh, is a manufacturer going to put negative comments on their own products? did you really just try to explain that?

Surely Fred Wright's going to win a race in his career that isn't the national champs. He's been close so many times now.

How can you tell? I struggle to make out the details and at least looking at the beam shot seems to be clipped in with overshoes and all? At one point the fork does look a bit round, but could be the angle?

What’s with the hating? Its far easier to prove guilt, rather harder to prove a negative yet no one even started a case. So until someone actually even starts a court case I’ll give “cancer charity fundraising machine” ($53m given to various causes in 2010 alone) the benefit of the doubt.
That is cool. I wish there

Wish they hadn’t cut out him
Wish they hadn’t cut out him ‘landing’ that 360.
