ooh nice. colour co-ordinated too.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -
... SRAM wheels though0

What is it the Italians say 'bella en sella'?0

Why is it, people with these expensive/light bikes are usually the ones that aren't elite athletes and never will be?
He doesn't need it.
Bradley Wiggins has done for bike sales what Head & Shoulders shampoo did for shampoo sales when they started putting "Rinse and repeat" in the instructions on the back of the bottle - shampoo sales doubled.0 -

So you're saying that despite earning a load of cash.. he has to buy the same sub £1k bikes as everyone else... drive a ford focus and live in a 3 bed semi in a Manchester suburb?
I bet you'd be riding the same if you were on his wage bill.0 -
No, he doesn't need it. But apparently he wants it and can afford it, so he's got it. I don't need half the things I buy for entertainment, including bikes, but still I have them.0

People buying stuff they don't really need keeps millions around the world employed. Remove that and you need to come up with another economic model0

Hope he's got whatever Campy call their Di2 on there too, just because a) it's Italian and b) costs a lot more too.
Just to upset the man urenited scum, my screensaver on one of my PCs is the screenshot of the red fan at Sunderland on the last day who was on MoTD and Sky, the boring twunt with a moustache and an anorak and a radio stuck to his left ear. Man U have finished, think they've won it and then Citeh score that goal to nick it, and our man in the the crowd with the wireless on his head turns to no-one in particular and says "they've scored", with the most p!ssed off face imaginable. Priceless, absolutely priceless. I watch it every so often on the tv recording, just for a laugh.0 -
I bet the Glazers ride mountain bikes they bought from Argos.0

Crikey mate, you're coming across almost as bitter as Manc33.Ben

QPR would have been kicked out of the olympics (Like the badminton players) for their efforts at the end of that match.
I had a similar disgusted expression on my face that day.
Hopefully Mancini will realise that riding his bike is more fun than managing the souless bunch of thugs and money-grabbers that make up the man city sqaud.... and go back to italy where there are real mountains. Because I do have to admit that he's a fantastic manager.0 -
Blimey. Touchy bunch or what?
I support Leicester, have a less than bothered attitude to football these days and am currently completely ambivalent about its impending return to the nation's collective consciousness.
I loved Citeh winning it just because it was a different bunch of mercenaries this time round, and they left it late. And I don't much care for man u. Alright? Blimey.0 -

There's a difference between 'not much caring for' and calling us United supporters 'scum'. I could have understood it if you were a Ciddy fan, but really don't understand the hatred from some crisp-munching lower league non-entities - and if you find that offensive - don't be so touchy!0
