Your Grandpa letting go of this is I'm sure, very hard all round. Its a lovely bike and sensibly priced, I hope someone here get to appreciate it for years to come. GLWS.

Meant no harm, hopefully none taken. I'm becoming very magnanimous these days. 15 years ago I would have gone to war on the absurdity of Contador's 2009 lake Annecy TT result. I think it's due to a drop in testosterone levels (mine, not Berties!).

You only use the internet to argue with people? You can get groceries with it now you know.

It cetainly feels like a pointless discourse, if someone is clean or not. Fans afford huge chunks of benefit of the doubt to underwrite belief in their heroes. Cynics have a right to be and there is plenty also to prove them right. I think religion is b0ll0ck3 but does that mean I should remind...

I miss Cipos skinsuits more than I miss his alu bikes.

Aside from just a bike thing but for any CF object ..carbon fibre resin photo degrades with exposure to UV - so over time this would weaken and eventually cause the resin to crack and fail, making the composite structurally unsound. The resin will break down first anyway, even if no UV is...

Cycle journalists (i realise the term is a stretch) love a good frame cliche. "I noticed no shortage of lateral stiffness and at the same time there was ample vertical compliance". Of course there was.

The bike appears 90s/00s....you would colour me suprised if it was Swiss threading. As its 70mm I though it would be Italian threading. If both cups come out anticlockwise and its 70mm its got to be Italiano. From the UK 1996 catalogue...

His house looks like the reception area for a Premier Travel Inn.

£80 and looks clean. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1053090150005658/
