A quote from Chris Boardman on the BBC website -

"First, the frames. "I've been working with carbon fibre for 15 years and I think it's really cool, sexy stuff to look at. It personifies high-tech," says Boardman, admiring Victoria Pendleton's sprint bike."

He must be bike obsessive. Bike? What bike? Would be my question. :twisted:
None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE THE DELICIOUS VICTORIA ALONE - EFFIGIES ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THAT WARNING.

    Right, me and her are on our way round to be really angry at you. I'll rant then she will burst into tears for no explainable reason, blame it all on her tool of a dad who tried to live his life vacariously through her success then she'll force me to do things to her on the bonnet of the 159. Again.

    I just hope that you feel guilty now. Bastard. Or should I say slut :)

    Have a quiet word with her about yesterday will you. Apparently Vicky and Ms Varnish were sloppy in the box, with Varnish pulling out before Vicky was in the right position.

    As the final climax shuddered through her very being, her thighs clenched tightly as she pushed with all her soul, teeth clenched as the last shots of pain shot through her aching body. And in a moment it was over, done, finished, maybe too soon, but the blood coursing through her throbbing veins swelled her.... Cont'd p 94 etc etc.

    There was another great Boardman quote today during the MTB race, he said that some don't have paint on their frames to save weight. The other commentator said, I bet you even know how much weight that actually saves. 8g says Boardman! Sad. :D

    Hah... 8g is for a road bike. MTB's have bigger tubes and more surface area, therefore 10g is the saving

    I thought he said 60g. Which made me feel sadly cool as I'd guessed 50 grams :lol:

    To be fair to Boardman it his actually his JOB to be obsessive about bikes.
