I suppose that is one bike we wouldn't be looking to shave weight off!

    All for an aluminium Giant! :shock:
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    This f*cking programme.

    Every year the Mrs will insist on watching it, whilst I sit there stewing wanting to throw things at the TV. C*nts the lot of them.

    Just wandered in whilst the other half was watching this. I can truly say there was not one thing on there which had any appeal whatsoever. As for the deluded designer/sellers, what a bunch of bellends. Glad I'm not rich enough to lose all my marbles and actually aspire to this stuff. I really cannot understand the desire to fill your home with tacky overpriced tat. And that bike, gobsmacked anyone would consider it even saleable.
    Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)
    Ribble Gran Fondo, Campagnolo Centaur (winter bike)
    Van Raam 'O' Pair
    Land Rover (really nasty weather :lol: )

    I saw a couple of minutes where they were making poker chips. Gems around the edges and faced with stingray(?) skin. The maker went into some sort of bollox about the feel of them during a tense game. I switched off at that point, so I missed the bit about them costing 7.5 million

    The older I get, the better I was.

    Worth getting invited to the game just to steal the chips. Sad things is that they probably have little value other than to the tool who buys them.
