    Is it fair to blame Specialized for the introducton of "Allez Man" to our commutes?

    What would Linux be if it wasnt for all the hatdwork that went into unix , and boy have the various owners of Unix patents over the years tried to kill the little guy.

    Its never the actually product that matters its the delivery.

    Yay, another linux user.

    Balanced has been semi restored I just bought a 3T doric pro seat post to match the stem on my Trek.

    Now all I need is some Zipp bars and seatpost to go with say .....a new bike :roll:

    I'm off to Salisbury in about an hour I just hope the local Cervelo dealer doesn't have any crazy offers :?

    If you spend over £2-3 for some shower gel to wash your balls then you need to have a word with yourself ;)

    Genuine question do you honestly believe that Wang and the like shower gel is anything but grossly over priced?

    The only no-no is matching Campag and Shimano. That's like putting your Pearl Jam CDs on the shelf next to your Nirvana ones...
    I mix Campag and Shimano on my 3 bikes and it all works perfectly. :twisted:

    I've been using it for years. Unfortunately you become immune to it quite quickly.

    At uni a number of lady friends discovered it in the shower and spent quite some time in there....
