Re: The Cycling Thread

Re: The Cycling Thread
Easy, look at Paris-Roubaix. Although I was disappointed it was a dry race!

Re: The Cycling Thread
Last year felt like that! We had snow and hail. It was brutal but made it all the more worthwhile after having finished. I had hoped this year would be 20 degrees and sunny with no wind!

Re: The Cycling Thread
Actually getting rid of a bike is harder than deciding which one to get rid of! I'm currently having this very issue

Re: The Cycling Thread
I donated my old bike to 'Bikes for Africa'. Just took it to a local participating Halfords

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'm selling (very poorly) a bike at the moment. I've broken the two bike rule and need to get rid of one.. As the Sensa will like not get used again because of the new Reilly its been chosen...
On that note Titanium is the future none of this carbon frame lark for me now* *highly like to change my mind again so this statement will be retracted... I am strong and stable.
