Had another twiddle with the usb cable, so here's pics of the newly
powdercoated RED Steed.

The kitchen. The most obvious place to put a frame.
http://www.cfsmtb.net/images/P1010100a.jpg

Small but almost perfectly formed.
http://www.cfsmtb.net/images/P1010105a.jpg

Posing demurely.
http://www.cfsmtb.net/images/P1010107a.jpg

Posing again.
http://www.cfsmtb.net/images/P1010108a.jpg

While outside Pellegrini's on Saturday arvo, Rooman mentioned some
smartypants remark about leaving the Steed out in the rain to see if
the frame would grow. Sorry mate, it's a 41cm frame and remaining that
size. ;)

As with most unfinished Projects, the Steed is awaiting further bike
p0rn 'accoutrements' subject to stringent budget restrictions.
Unfortunately the fleeting dalliance with barend shifters and Salsa
cyclo-cross levers hasn’t worked out and I will probably commit a
serious crime against nature by utilising flat bar integrated shifters
with bull horns.

And this wasn't a decision taken lightly, as I've also had crack at
several other combinations, including Kelly Take-offs for the original
downtube shifters. Oh well, it's my bike & I'll do want I want.

I'm preparing for a barrage of ridicule, but wasn't that Ace of Base??
I do recall (from much Young Ones watching) that Motorhead had a track
called Ace of Spades.

Eurotrash pop! Woohoo!

Nah I really prefer Lemmy any day. Actually his latest outfit "The Head
Cat" is rather good methinks. Well it would be, considering Slim Jim is
on double bass.

BTW - keep those orders flooding in for the limited edition a.b spoke

Question: Is it called a "slap down" when delivered by a person two
feet shorter?

Definately would be a slap up! But I didn't say there was anything
wrong with being short, I was just asking.... :) With some exclamations
as the end of the question.

My mother is 5'1....... Fantastic person!!

Very nice Bike as well, by the way......

Which brings me to another issue... It's interesting that I've probably
been called Shorty more times than I've had hot dinners, but out of
interest, have you ever been called Tally (or is that Talley)?

Yes they are spokey-dokes, every road bike should have them.

The slap down/ slap up issue intrigues me somewhat. The sobering fact
is that you tall(er) folk don't realise how vulerable you actually are.
Case in point, in a previous life, a chap I was going out with was 6'3.
To cut a long story short, he once annoyed me to the extent where a
"pretendy" headbutt was possibly required. That scared the crap out of
him. And another thing, tall folk are the perfect height for the Five
Fingers of Death, otherwise known as a squirrel grip. Quite a handy
tactic in club & pubs when some drunk fkwt won't leave you alone.

Never fear though I've left all of that behind now. And don't short
folk make terrific hill climbers? Oh yes, the Steed has CF forks ;)

Oooh, I don't know that Resound is taller than you :)

C'mon, a stand-up-straight-against-each-other's-backs competition is
order next Goatage. I just wish I could attend and drink said goat.

I've got an observer coming up in 2 weeks from my old Melbournian
institution. I've asked her to bring up some goat (she's a hotty too.
She's also short and cute), but she's brought up that old "but it's
liquid. I'll be pulled up by airport security for being a terrorist"
issue. Foiled. Again.

I think I have still trumped JonoL at the flying 200. Us
featherweight-got-to-be-careful-not-to-stand-out-in-the-wind folk have
definitely got something in the acceleration stakes. Not that JonoL
is exactly heavyweight.

I still get the email reminder every couple of weeks on the yahoo
group, and keep thinking "bugger". That and the sat morning Belgian
Beer Cafe rides that I never did get a chance to participate in.

Damn one track mind. Beer. Beer. Beer. Leffe Brune. Beer.

I must say that I've developed a fondness for the chewier Belgian beers such
as Leffe (pretty much any variant) particularly now that the weather's
turned chillier.

Cheeky stuff that Leffe, i.e.: two or three is ok, but have about four
and it's whoops-a-daisy time when getting up from the bench... Most
enquire at the Land of Goat if the Surefoot Stout is making a return
soon-ish. I recall a memorial outing PubBUG made to the RRR Community
Cup (circa 2005) where the Goat Tent ran out of "normal" beer and were
reduced to selling nothing but Surefoot. For us punters it was harsh
job, but we bravely stepped up to the mark.

And a good time was had by all.

I can't remember hearing that one. Lanky, lofty, bean pole (far less
fitting these days as I've, ahem, broadened a little) and many more
that I don't remember. They're rarely original and always ignored. The
most original remark I had was earlier this year when I was buying a
present in a shop in Shanghai. The woman behind the counter held up a
calculator with 192 on it. At first I thought it was part of the
haggling process but then realised it was her guess at my height. She
was a few cm on the generous side, but it was a pretty good guess.

My daughter claims to be 5 foot, but she is really 4' 11 1/2".

A guy who works for us is 6' 3", his brother is 6' 4", his mum and dad are
both 6' 2". His wife is about 5' 3" or 4"

:D

Nah, I'm not *that* freaky (well, in height aspect at least). I'm 6'2"
and a bit, but we've been told that my 3 year old son, if he follows
the standard growth rates, will be somewhere around 6'7". My wife
bought him a basketball and hoop for Christmas :-)

Yeah, we did the height at age 2 thing for both of ours. My wife and I
are about the same height (160-165 cm - ~5'4") but number 1 will be over
6 foot by the "height" measure while number 2 will be just under my
height. I am assured they are both my children!! :-)
