    Giant Frame Advice

    Can anyone confirm for me that the weight of the frame on a 2010 Giant TCR Advanced 1 is the same as the TCR Advanced 0? i.e. it's just the components that vary the bike weight. thanks

    TDF GC - Time to talk

    I had 1st and 9th. And, 2nd and 3rd but the reverse order ;) Otherwise I was a bit ambitious trying to pick 10, should have left it at 5. Evans and Menchov a total let down, Gesink and Rogers had bad luck.

    Alexi Grewal pedaling for mayor

    I have no idea how big Loveland is (I'm not from the US) but I tripped over this story while looking back on articles about Alexi Grewal the 1984 road race gold medalist. http://www.lovelandpolitics.com/grewalAnnounceMayor.html Looks like it was just announced last week. Is this the...

    Tonight on Dutch tv - A cancer survivor

    Thanks for the article Amsterhammer, most of us have had family and friends hit by cancer and it's good to hear about stories like this and the hope that other people can bring. I am speechless about what those other two have said despite your three disclaimers and pleas in your initial post...

    Think before you start a thread

    Thanks for posting this. One thread I saw last night the first three replies all quoted the entire six paragraph initial post, and then added just a one line comment. Just start your post with either a relevant quote to a point, or, if you are responding to the entire post just start with their...

    Cav disqualified!

    Haha ... the jury has to make a decision one way or another. They weigh up the facts (and only the facts) and rule. The cycling fan on the other hand can and will debate forever and a day and base their arguments on what they saw on tv, heresay, emotions, and inuendo ..... and most times come...

    Official Lance Armstrong thread

    Hinault, Moser & Merckx were pretty handy. Dopers of course, so not really a fair comparison ;)

    Official thread TdF Stage 15 Pontarlier - Verbier - 207.5 km

    This won't be a stage the breakaway wins, too many teams with interests in chasing it down. Therefore Contador will win after chasing down attacks from Cadel and Sastre on the final climb.

    Official thread TdF Stage 14 Colmar - Besançon - 199 km

    I would like to see one of those riders tell Hincapie to f*ck off back to the Peleton, that they are doomed with him there. A quick look at the guide and I see Hayden Roulston weighing in at a useful 82kg, it's up to you mate ;)

    fine tuning yor engine

    I didn't say it was ok, in fact I called them cheats. I was just pointing out the flaw in the second persons post.

    fine tuning yor engine

    That's not a result of riders doping now and not back then, that's a result of there better dope available. People like to romanticise about the good old days, the good old days were full of drug cheats just as today is.
