Hursty Just watched the highlights it the national race, Cav is literally on fire at the moment, what a shame he won’t be on the start line this friday
Hursty LT42 His team have another sprinter who has won more races this season is one of the reasons. He is younger and very talented but Cav has proven his quality in the tour so a tough shout. The manager can be erratic also
Along_the_Wire I also think they don’t a Belgian team want him breaking Eddy Merckx record of most wins.
LT42 Saw the Quickstep team out on stage last night in Copenhagan with a pic of Cavendish from last year’s race on the big screen behind them. Strange.
Millsy Thinking of rinsing my cycle to work scheme for a gravel bike. Hit me with your recos, you daft cycle weirdos. Current front runner is the Cannondale Topstone 4.
Millsy Mad_Cyril yep. Never took the plunge last time as read a lot of Grant’s posts on this thread and vomited down my Spandex one piece. Decided it wasn’t for me. But my head has been turned since.
Dubman Saw a couple of lads up the downs this morning riding gravel bikes. Dressed head to toe in full lycra. It looked like they took the wrong turn and ended up going off road.
Mad_Cyril Millsy Aha, glad I’m not going mental! Get it done, summat new and shiny makes everyone’s lives better. This is the way
Millsy Along_the_Wire will I be looked down upon by the mamil massive? I’m literally as novice as it comes in the whole cycling game so very happy to defer to the wisdom on here. I was actually shocked you can pay c£1k for a bike and a) that’s considered ‘entry level’ and b) the fucking bastard thing comes without pedals. ‘oh you want handlebars mate? Extra’.
Along_the_Wire Millsy you can get brilliant bikes for a grand these days. I don’t want to sound like a cunt, but PM me, I can get you some really decent recommendations - gravel is not my thing, but loads of mates are bang into it
Old-Dutch There’s a shop on the High St. by me and they’ve got bikes in the window priced at £15k. Think about that for a second.
