    Back in 2003, when I was in the market for a new bike, I narrowed it down to Specialized and Trek, based on what the local dealers had.

    I went with the Trek on the basis that “if it’s good enough for Lance Armstrong, it’s good enough for me”.

    Obviously now I visit a different type of dealer on the same basis.

    never understood the point of constantly repeating the same adverts during programmes. im not really ever going to be so daft that I am going to be beaten into submission and buy products from these companies.

    if anything it makes me not want to use these companies due to their daft marketing

    although i nearly bought some skil tools once, but that might have been because they was red

    Yeah. I used to rail against the incorrect use of decimate and failure to use the subjunctive, but had to get used to the fact that language is a fluid thing…

    Indeed, movi from movil translates to mobile in englsh, Movistar is the mobile arm of Telefonica. Pfft! I thought everyone knew this.

    Their old HQ didn’t have planning pemission either which was one of the factors for the move to new premises in Alcobendas, again something i guess everyone knows…

    So yes, ktache, sort yourself out…

    Few years ago when I was looking to hire a van to move house the quotes were similar so Europcar got the nod simply because of their sponsorship.

    Ah, but do you Trek down to your local stockist to buy Segafredo coffee?

    Nope, I just put on some Genesis and order in some beans from a Specialized importer.

    High 5 for that response!
