    I'm a long way off middle aged, and I won't be wearing lycra without anything covering it up, so I should avoid the MAMIL tag! :lol:

    I overtook loads of lycra wearing roadies this morning. I think each time that happens, I get +1 to being cool.

    Are you talking about road riding or wearing lycra? :)

    My god bails, you think you know someone, then they go and do this, dear baby jebus and all the orphan childs, you've stooped to a new low

    does look shiny nice though and shiny nice bikes are my favouritist things in the world, so I'm torn between telling you off and congratulating you

    I chopped the top tube off. It doesn't work as well now :wink:

    It's good though, not as fun as MTBing, but it's for riding to work, I did a test run yesterday, 28 miles there and back, did the trip in in under 50 mins, so not much longer than driving! :D

    It's not going to change me though. Now where did I put that Veet........

    Nah, it's all about Gillette Mach3 and baby oil in the shower.

    so thats where i was going wrong, i thought it was Gillette fusion power and shaving gel foam.
  • Sweet.. I do like a classy road bike although I don't own one [yet]
    My it serve you very well, with or without Lycra
  • I actually enjoy wearing lycra on the trails and on the road. Much more comfy, and i've got some sexy sasquatch legs.
