    Paris Olympics

    No kilo at the olympics. I think it used to be but not anymore. Pursuit heats and mens team sprint finals were jolly good tonight. More records again. I think the flying 200m record for the individual sprint qualifying is going to get smashed to bits and the mens team pursuit is going to get...

    Orange O2 drop bar

    Tbh the Frogleggs worked alot better when i first used them with Campag 9 speed levers. I think there is a cable pull difference and the Campag levers being much stiffer. The 1st gen Sram levers are a bit flexy which is why they changed the body of the lever, where the blade pivots. The...

    Orange O2 drop bar

    So....have made some changes. First change was going up a size in chainring from 42 to 44. I think the gearing is perfect now after ALOT of back and forth and trying various options. I have everything covered from steep offroad , at walking pace, to 30mph road work at 100rpm. Happy daze :)...

    Is that the race where he got left behind a bit but just opened up the after burners , caught up, went the long way around, and waved goodbye? Maybe that was world champs, or champions league. He wins so much i forget :) Have you seen Hoogland do his kilo record? That is a bit mental. I...

    Paris Olympics

    It was ace to watch. First it was setting olympic records as it is the first time for 3 riders and then BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! and the world record kept on getting beaten. Looking at the track i think it has been freshly sanded, or even re-boarded, but haven't read that had happened. It looks very...

    Paris Olympics

    Track starts today. I think the atmosphere in the velodrome is going to be good. Lots of cheering and singing like London 2012 i reckon. The main medal contenders are all from nations that are close to the venue so lots of support in the stands.

    As sure as a bear takes a sh!t in the woods; If i did this some oik would nick the bike and leave me at the top of the hill, in my cycling togs, like a fish out of water.

    Paris Olympics

    It sure was. We watched it and i said to mrs FO that if it stalls when they all come together that she would be off like a rocket. It is her strength and she would have absolutely lost out to two(three really) sprinters. Those finishing circuit laps were top drawer.

    Mystery 1978-1981-ish road bike

    Late 70's early-mid 80's i reckon. Could be low end Reynolds tubing and not gas pipe. Gear lever bosses could be an add on before a re-paint? For free it doesn't really matter and it looks in good fettle. Definitely worth putting some new tyres, guards, and lights on for a winter trainer...

    Loving Pommel Horse guy and Turkish shooting dad. The latter just stands there with both eyes open and a hand in his pocket and medals. The former only does pommel because of an eyesight problem and they wake him up, he takes his glasses off like some kind of Clark Kent, and earns the yanks a...

    Complete classic cycle collection

    It isn't rocket science is it to post a couple of examples with prices and a pic of what else is available. This is 2024 and stuff like this just comes across as a scam to get names and contact details.
