Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D

[vaeske]

i'll bring the carbon this weekend then.

[Dan]

I'll burn my toast in the morning for sympathy carbon.

[Wal42]

Won't be a piece of carbon in sight. Extra points for fondue sets and boney m records, right?

Hey Dan, there maybe some carbon insight, maybe Wal's going to use the new secret squirrel business component he told you about, I think the wide things are made of carbon.

Yep, you guys guessed it....... I've fitted a winged keel to the Vertex, not sure I can make the cafe but you guys won't go near me (literally) on the up & down river run (not unless you manage to fit floaties & paddle wheels before the weekend).



Anyone else riding the Redlands Classic on Sunday, Dan & I are doing the 50km ride, come on ye slack bunch of landlubbers get on board & put a bit of a show on for the retro's. AAAAAAAAGH (ok enough of the pirate references ).

[Dan]

I'll bring a poorly-named alternative version of something or other in further deference to Mr Lexcen.

[munga]

how much are carbon bottle cages? i'm staying on the curve with this one.

[vaeske]

is it really gonna make a difference for you bruv?

[munga]

it's carbon!

[Dan]

That's not carbon - this is carbon...

[Dan]

before I go to marketplace, anyone got a set of 7 speed shimano shifter/brake jobbies (refuse to say it) lying about?

[vaeske]

brifters? when was 7 speed? 105? i've got some. 8 speed 600 ones...what do you need one of those for?

I'd need an 8 speed derailleur & cassette to go with that.... and so it begins....

I was thinking of putting them on the Superlite, so I can put the bars/brakes etc from it onto the single speed.

[vaeske]

i've got some brifters at someone else's house atm, but if you want them I'll get them back, don't think i have any 8 speed cassettes though.

It's aluminum!

I think I'm going to definitely go with those H Plus rims by the way.

[pentlandexile]

[ldrcycles]

If only that was my size, the Dancelli story is reason enough to own it.

[vaeske]

BNA Queensland mafia unite!!! We must keep this here!

[munga]

[Dan]
