Out of the question, there's been too many personal issues between me
and Bjarne Riis over the last few years. And I've never gotten along very
well with Ivan Basso, he's too vain for one thing.

Do you find it difficult to maintain your fetching modesty, what with
you being so talented and all?

That's something I did struggle with a few years back, but I've since
become very grounded.

I could do the Lance thing and get Sally Jenkins to write a couple
of books on me and have Random House publish them, but I would
rather just let my results do the talking for me.

Y'know, I've gotta respect ya for saying that.

So I'm sinking a Newcastle Brown Ale in your honour.

I find orange to be a happy blend of being able to quickly countersteer,
yet having some of the speed of red since it's in the warmer end of the
spectrum.

Yep. And they're stiffer than yellow bikes.

I like silver for its neutral handling and better climbing abilities.
You notice how much lighter it is than black on those 16% grades and
the fenders match just as well.

Not to denigrate Cervalo but it seems you are succumbing to nationalistic

as cool looking as CSC. g

bah! Their TT machines are probably made by Cervélo anyhow and just
painted in that inferior livery.

To bad the only decent Cervelos are outsourced to Taiwan fabrication
shops. They are only designed in Toronto, all production is done
overseas.

Yes, I'm still a bit moist of eye.

Go ahead, I'll catch up.

Well for one, at the Taipei International Cycle Show
Phil White was pretty upset when he saw the outsourcer
using the carbon lug technology that Cervelo developed
being used on that outsourcer's other brands, I think he
found five different brands using them.

And John Harrington from Easton found thier seatpost design
at the supplier's booth with the supplier's name on them.

Weren't most club bikes from the 50s and 60s basically three speeds, but
with drops instead of upright bars?

If you are talking racing clubs, not the ones I was in - mid to late
60s. Definitely ten speeds for most road situations. There was a
fascination for a while for time trial bikes like what showed up in
the British publications, like single speeds with pocket watches taped
to the bars. Alf something was the 25 miler that I think was the
record holder: all black all the way around and easier to copy then
than Lance or Jan today.
