Four directions, four seasons, four elements. Road - This can be a touring, audax or racing bike. Street - For utility or commuter cycling. Dirt - BMX, downhill, trails, XC etc. Track - This can be a track bike if you live near a velodrome or just a wild card bike that might be your chopper, penny farthing replica, recumbent or other whacked out bike all bike whackos must have. I've eleven and now a unicycle too. -- zk - a 1975 Motobecane Grand Tour for riding around town and in park - in barn - a 2002 Cannonade T2000 for loaded touring and out back gravel roads - barn - a 1999 Cannondale R1000 backup road bike - garage - a 2003 Trek 5500 road bike - living room |

The FASTEST (remember this IS a race after all) team on the tour is
riding Canadian bikes. Cervélo all the way, eh I thought US Postal won the team time trial and they are riding TREKs. B (remove clothes to reply) |

which brings up another question.... where do you keep these bikes. I want to convert the shed outside into a "bike garage". The man says "where are we going to put the lawnmower"? I only have a small 2 up 2 down house, but thanks to some fundamental modifications to the basic design of the stairwell, I get 4 bikes under the stairs and 4 above. The bottom 5 steps are hinged so I can get the bikes under the stairs out easily. The rest hang out in the living room by the door, or hung form the walls/ceiling. I stopped keeping bikes in the shed years ago, as I got fed up with cleaning the winter rust off them every spring. -- Jim Price http://www.jimprice.dsl.pipex.com Conscientious objection is hard work in an economic war. |

"Jim Price" wrote in message ... Without going into too much detail about 19 bikes they are... snip You're missing an audax bike and a tandem. Well spotted. The training bike would become the Audax bike if I joined Audax. I currently have two old steel frames and a welder, and I'm tempted to do a cut and shut job. All I need now is a source of small amounts of steel tube in the UK and some practice welding... -- Jim Price http://www.jimprice.dsl.pipex.com Conscientious objection is hard work in an economic war. |

If you require a frame bigger than 52 cm, then you are clearly too big to be a serious Euro-pro like Fabrizio. And while Fassa Bortolo may be losers, they look good doing it. And they got a tour invitation, unlike those Domina Vacanze losers, -- Ryan Cousineau, http://www.sfu.ca/~rcousine President, Fabrizio Mazzoleni Fan Club |

What are you talking about, Millar took 9 seconds out of Ty today. And a carbon bike is 6.32 ahead of the Cervolo in the overall standings, Robbie has 178 points in the sprinting compared with 85 for Tyler riding the Cervelo. The only reason Tyler stayed away the other day was that no one was willing to take up the chase, not because your damn north american Cervelo was faster than Italian frames. How did you figure? Overall team standings for the Tour: CSC is #1, CSC rides Cervélo. Am I missing something here? -- zk |
