"How To Build Up A Decent Road Bike For A Small Lady - For Unde
$1500"

The New Steed is almost finished. Only finishing touches required ar
dust caps & pair of red shiny bidon cages. Bikesoiler is trying t
convince me NOT to put matching red shiny guards on a road bike. But
want to, I wish to emulate a Dork image. And a postal rack. (how Audax
Look up for a sneak peek, ain't she beeaauti-ful? Further details o
actual specs soon.

Quote from cycling news that's inspiring me to get out there & do som
winter base training. Today: Yarra Boulevard. Tomorrow: 100km Alpin
Classic. We all have our dreams, don't we?

*Who's the favourite to win tomorrow? "Me," concluded Rogers*

Unfortunately, Aitor Gonzalez pipped him by 46 seconds.

If it wasn't for complications from a cold (ie: bung ears) I'd be ou
hooning around. :

What do youwant dust caps for?

They're just weight for no benefit, and they retain water so they may
make valves corrode quicker.

They belong in the BIN!

Not the valves, to neaten up the cranks et al. We care about the little
details, and aesthetics.

Yeah, I'd love to bring *Her* along to the RRR Community Cup. But goin
on past experience I should really take the commuter or SS. In 2002 i
took me half an hour to figure out how to exit Richmond.

From Gosch's Paddock. I blame Goat for that
