    **RUNS FROM SCREEN SCREAMING**

    Dear god, bikes like that should come with a warning!!! having said that my trailer bike hitches up to my Apollo Abyss which is an utter sh!tter compared to that Saracen jobbie so I can't say much :-)

    On the subject of light hearted SCRing has anyone else noticed that LITT disappeared off to a winter training camp only to return and put in a pretty damn fine RP 3 lap time, now LiT has gone away on "Holiday" but somehow seems to have found a bike & new a training "Team"

    There's more carbon fibre floating around here that most pro team workshops and rather too many casual sportives just popping up :roll:

    All just light hearted commuting fun eh!

    See the second post in this thread.

    A FCN is "a sort of commuter-induced snobbery to seperate casual cyclists from more serious ones and to encourage some very pointless commuter racing".

    It would appear that irony is not without its followers even in the Roadie community, famous for its sense of communal egalitarianism - errrrr
    to seperate casual cyclists from more serious ones

    Like waxing my legs and shaving my nut sack?




    Ok then they may not all pluck the turkey but I bet a load do - they just love the feeling of chamois cream on smooth skin - you can tell just by looking at them.

    I have carbon forks and a carbon stem on my Tricross. Does that mean I'm too serious now? :wink:

    Or does being a perverted, demon spawn CX commuter exclude me from all other groups? :twisted:

    No, I think we're still a few posts short. I have noticed that people appear to be posting more regularly now that we're near the magic 500 mark (again!)... :D
