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/

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/719794274394724 Scant on detail but its CX season and this is ready to go for £40. Even the tyres look new. Proper cross geometry and top routed cables.

Yes!. Surely only a satirist of the highest order could have dreamed up a bike race with a title sponsor who made EPO.

You don't have exclusive rights on it - I've said it before myself. :D

Cristophe Bassons didn't and there would have been others. If even one from 200 didn't it destroys the argument that 'they're all at it' and somehow it was all fair in love and war. This is before you take in all the riders who never made it to the top because the top was out of reach with run...

1992 Giant Iguana. Uncool then, uncool now. So embarassing I can't find it in any Giant catalogues of the time, so even the people who made it aren't proud. I have owned since new, bought from Chamberlain cycles in Kentish Town, London. Its triggers broom, only the frame remains from stock...

I lived in Quebec City over a winter 15 years ago. People going jogging, walking dogs and living their best lives...and it was -30. Nobody was riding on the road once the snow came from what I saw. I was told if I wanted to ride it was parks and trails - and even then only the trails close to...

Didn't know this - can you provide a link please Jonny? I'm 6'2" and ride 62 and 64cm bikes. I have a nice 58 racer but middle age means I need a long Nitto technomic stem to make it work. To the OP I would have thought at 6'6" you might need to shift your sizing up one click (at least) from...

I would first try a virgin fresh seatpost of the correct diameter and fresh alu shims as needed. The old is bound to have worn some over the years where clamped and ovalised. I would try that first. This doesn't look *that* beaterish to me. Some decent accessories and components hint at care...

Reductions for saddle and levers - mech sold.

I bought mine new (triple, med cage rear mech and including BB) from Parkers of Bolton for £247. A grand? Given its perception as a functional and not pose/bling gruppo I struggle to see where the market for this is. (Edit - In my Monday morning stupor I read this as a Veloce gruppo. So its...

What happens to bike sales in Canada when the winter weather closes in? Does the used bike market carry on at the same volume or do people leave it till spring and there's a glut of bikes for sale then?

You're right- legally covering their rrrses too in case an ambulance chaser buys.
