Dutchy!! Once again you show you are a man of cultural class T
hasnt been the same since Twin Peaks - no other show has risen to it
standard. Carnivale came close, as did that Angels program (can
remember the name!! and I have it on video ha!) on ABC.

As for the plastic - how come its sooooooooo cheap????? Am I missin
something ?? Or is the bike missing something??

I'm too scared to watch the new Battlestar Galactica, it can only be a
disappointment. Memories of how good a TV show improve with years, same
would apply for Space 1999, I loved it.

Im damn picky and its rare a tv show holds my interest for 5 mins but
found myself right into the new Battlestar series till the end. Not jus
the typical sci fi show. It´s great if you ask me. The whole season
all the way through. Definately worth a look at the very least

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I've already gotta put up with Dr Who, fifty seven variations on feckin
Star Trek, and Stargate, not to mention the evil boxed sets
Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Space 1999, the Tomorrow People....

Is it any wonder I sneak up to the garage of an evening and build bikes?

On the original topic, I'm glad that plastic bikes have dropped to
price which reflects the fact that, well, they're made from plastic...
Will the high-end manufacturers return to steel now to differentiat
themselves from the me-too bikes? I mean, Who'd blow $10K on a C50 whe
you can get one of these, just the same, but half the price?

Regards,

Suz

They're pretty impressive "in the flesh".

When I first saw one on the LBS floor, I did a double-take on the price tag,
and then asked the proprietor if that was really the price.

Big name?
I bet they would sell like hotcakes if they made the 'Learsport
brandname just black paint over, the CF. And if you could buy e
without the brandname at all you wouldnt be able to get hold of o e i
stock at all!

PS how easy/hard is it to remove a paintjob from CF???

Mmmm, very interesting! I've just spent my designated wad of cash
(courtesy of 40th birthday excuse) on a Learsport 8500 (with 10-speed
Ultegra) and I'm very happy with it. Looks like Learsport are launching
a new brand for the more upmarket range (a la Toyota / Lexus), but the
website isn't there yet. (www.azzurri.com.au)

Yup, got the short guy link .. Carnivale was very good (altho
missed the very last episode which in the end didnt upset me too much
but it was a TP tried hard wannabe...
