Where did you get 2.5mm spacers from?

shadow4532

those silly cane creek interloc ones in an attempt to stop a mystery creak

seanoconn

170. Do I get points knocked off for scowling at other bike riders?

AchillesLeftKnee

40pts for the saddle bag
10pts for spacers
50pts for being a richardhead
= 100pts

...although this goes up to 190pts (not being all cheery) when inadvertently encountering a sportive, road race, or other unexpectedly large group of cyclists. Ended up going the to opposite direction to what was a either a local charity ride or a mass suicide attempt by one of the villages yesterday. Gave up with the endless nodding after the first few groups as I'd rather be thought of as a grumpy sod than an overweight Chris Froome impersonator.

Na, surely everybody gets at least 50 just for posting a score

Oh, hang on, you'd still get 50 and win so far, I'm confusing myself now

Oooh, that's brave.

smidsy

Not sure how Shimano on an Italian bike is any different to Campagnolo on a non-Italian bike, or Shimano on a non Japanese bike?

I move to have this criteria deleted from said points.

GiantMike

We can't just change the rules to suit you. They're a pointless set of arbitrary rules as they are without being personalised for each respondent. Anyway, I think they were set by a Cardinal and you don't want to mess with one of those.

Have yourself a free couple of hundred points

Oh, you harsh bloke, you!

Question is, does an Italian bike have to be made in Italy by Italians, or does it merely have to have been ordered from southeast Asia by someone who works for a company with a head office in Italy?

I know where you THINK you are going with this

Anyway as everyone seems so obsessed with keeping everything Italian on an Italian frame I assume you are in fact Italian - otherwise how on earth can you ride an Italian frame with Italian Group set....Hmmmm...Hmmmm

Tut Tut 1000 points to you Sir.

Haven't got an Italian bike.

The scoring system is not open to interpretation, you know the rules. Play fair or you'll be barred

Philly8mt

40pts plus "dickhead" factor gives me ...

90 points

chrisaonabike

40 for saddle bag (and I'm getting a BIG one soon, so ner)
22 for spacers
50 for compulsory d1ckhead
