    You wouldn't cry too much if that got 'smashed up'. Why ''smash it up' anyway, why not take care of it?

    105 ain't what it used to be. My first upgrade was to 105 and it went on and on and on...

    I do tend to really look after stuff - my crit bike is 7 years old and when I was cleaning it the other day realised that it was still mint.

    It's just that it's likely to get crashed, dropped, abused through winter - will be cleaned to an inch of its life each weekend but I suspect it may get a tad abused.

    The Centaur will take that abuse. It's a very work horse type of gruppo.

    It's lies like that that got us where we are today. I think i also said that I would strip the campie stuff off, smash it with a hammer and chuck it into next door's garden. Then I would put some Red eTap on.

    It's shagged which is why he's selling it. And it's not black, so will lose me 2 mph top end. And I'd have to buy a new cassette which I can't be bothered to do.

    Apart from that, good call though.

    That would be sweeeeeet with eTap.

    I can hear the sound of the smashing hammer as we speak.

    Fire or no fire?

    Next door's hay barn filled with jerry cans of illegal red diesel?

    Nice.

    Boooooom went the shitty broken Campag.

    That De Rosa is sweet though. Incidentally,I was holidaying on the ile d'Oleron a few years back and met this guy called Brian, he was from somewhere in England that isn't quite London, but near enough. He had a Titanio. That's a true story.

    Actually, maybe it was Sardinia. No, it was definitely Ile d'Doleron. Sardinia was the year before.

    Isn't everywhere in England somewhere in England that isn't quite London but near enough but still fairly mediocre?

    Why d'ya think it's called TitaNiO?

    Harsh ride. Yes, the De Rosa is beautiful but if you want truly exotic and bespoke CF made to your exact size, you want a Sarto Seta:

    AntoNio? Never knew.

    Sarto - rhyms with Farto {snigger}.

    Hmm - something about those says that they will age rapidly. Don't know what. Does it have to be c/f: how about an Anderson in steel: http://www.andersoncustombicycles.com/

    Re Malta - no, I haven't but I think I have friends who have. I think its stunning but ridiculously expensive. Or was that Sardinia? Have I actually been to Malta? Not sure really. I've been to Sicily and that's shittt. I wouldn't recommend Sicily to anyone.

    Anderson: That bloke wot own that bike posts on yur.

    The only steel bike I want is a Master.

    You're thinking of Sardinia, that's stunning. Malta's the biggest shithole I've ever been to (and I've been to Bridgend AND Prestatyn). It's like a big piece of wasteground. and the food is shite, like roadkill or something.

    Was I right about why it's called Titanio?

    I would take that Sarto over the Anderson though. Sorry, that bloke.

    Its because they don't mind if they get broken in transit.

    Ah - so Malta is a no no then. Not to be confused with the Maldives.

    Please don't confuse it with the Maldives or Mauritius, or Morecambe and don't take TDV there. She'll throw you into the path of one of those stupid yellow buses that they have and think are cute or something, but they're not, they're just shite like everything else. Go to Corsica instead, go there tomorrow.

    I can't - she's away again which is why I am SPMF and still on here at 23:01 and not snoring in my pit.

    Better than Morecambe? Never. Now you're bullshitting.
