    Paris - Nice: STAGE 3 - Saint-Junien --> Aurillac: 208 km

    Their schedules, and the lack of them sticking to them, are ridiculous. What was that 10 minute montage of photos we had to watch before they got the race up on Eurosport? I think we are lucky to get the amount of different races that we currently do on Eurosport but it bugs me like nothing...

    Eunuch-cycling

    LOL Thanks! It wasn't actually a class just a bike in the gym with a resistance wheel rather than a 'conventional' exercise bike. I've been desperate to get back out on the road and have been purchasing a plethora of parts over the last few months and the bike is going in to the LBS on...

    Sora/105 compatibility?

    Thanks lostintime. I've had a look on this drivetrain chart and it seems to indicate that I could upgrade certain parts to Tiagra with not too much trouble. I currently have Sora 8spd rear and double on the front. Will be getting her out in the morning and double checking all the components...

    Sora/105 compatibility?

    Hello everyone. I've currently got a fairly old Raleigh road bike with Sora components. It's about to go in for a complete strip down service and I've been wanting to upgrade the groupset for a while now.
