What you might find is more of them being more confident and riding two abreast. (I mean, legally they can now, and their taxes payed for that road just as much as yours, and their vehicles damage the road far less, but I won't go there).
I concur…
Yea that is the relaxed feel I had of it when I found out, I am looking forward to it. It will be a good warm up after the Alpine Challenge last month and a bit of time off.
And Holgate Brewery is in Woodend :D

Thanks guys and thanks again to Jaeger some great prices on that site ended up buying new ones from there. $200 for Left and Right STI 105s perfect as this bike is only going onto a trainer. Cheers - :)
Sounds like they're saying it is the wrong shifter for their needs -- eg 10 speed when they need eight speed or something. Also description sounds like the handlebar clamp is missing. I would not bid too high on that item. Wouldn't be concerned abou…
the review from Cycling News of the whole 105 groupset clears up most of your enquiry about 105 shifters, but whether this helps with your Vietnamese seller is dubious... sounds like he is trying to say they may have internal components missing and…
OOps - great photo. Reminds me of my BMX bandit days.
Thats good Simon are the handle bars supposed to be crooked? ;) Maybe the vintage ones were that way................
