My New Bike
G'day Andrew
have just seen the pics of your new ride.........I'm absolutel disgusted with you!.......You call yourself a 'rider'.....I think yo need to reassess things buddy!......imagine being a hardcore roadie having a garden as neat as that!!!!!.......gardening weather is als 'ridin' weather...so what gives?.......I would do something in my bac yard.....But it would upset the 'greenies' to much! (old growth forest & all that)...I think its actually been listed as a world heritag 'wilderness' area!! seriously, though, I like your ride...but the state of your yard i disappointing! cheers Hitch - |

Andrew: Wow! That's one kool (cool blue) bike. Nice taste in choosing component colours. Just a little suggestion, if you don't mind. I hope you're planning to cut that steerer tube to size. It's look is a turn off. But that's me. Cheers, Amir. More to the point could convert you into the 'Italian Eunich' if things go awry!!!!!!!!!! lovely looking bike tho pity about all that ShimaNO stuff on an italian bike tho... -- |

So the guy I know who fits DuraAce 10 speed to replace his DuraAce 9 speed and then tries Record for a week and says "That's OK, but I think I prefer the DuraAce" and then goes back to his DuraAce bike and after a week swears that he'll get back to Record ASAP is all wrong? I think not :-) BTW, we are talking reasonable bikes here. Look KG381 with DuraAce and Colnago C50 with Record 2004. Those carbon cranks look very pretty :-) -- Regards. Richard. |

news:d6i_b.149 pity about all that ShimaNO stuff on an italian bike tho... My motto is "never install a groupset that sounds like a pasta sauce". hehehe! I tried my mate's Chorus setup and found it strange. I do not like where the down-push levers are on the sides of the brake hoods. I can't remember which way it changed the gears, but I remember thinking if I was sprinting, I'd have to be on the hoods to change up - does that sound right? I like the ability to trim the front derr. in multiple positions. It was only a 10 minute test on an awkward bike, but I will stick with Shimano until I have a good amount of time playing with Campag and then decide if I want to go with the Italian manufacturer. Price-wise I think Shimano wins, don't they? hippy |

Price-wise I think Shimano wins, don't they? hippy you can trim a front derailleur on campy I know. You can do the same on my Ultegra, but the Campy has more positions, I think. Far cheaper in the long run as it lasts longer (shimano wears out, campag I've skimmed threads on this topic before, but how true is this? Any Shimano users wanna debate this for me? :-) wears in LOL) and CHorus is equivalent if not better than DA with pricing Why does it compare with DA? What's so special? Compared with Ultegra it's more expensive... cheaper The lower groupsets are (105 down) appalling too in terms of build and the amount of plastic and incompatability Campag Xenon looks a bit plasticy...is it? 105 incompatible with what? there, that should fire the thread up a bit... Okay... fight! fight! fight! ;-) Oh, I prefer the Shimano hoods and doesn't the Campag importer here have a monopoly so spare parts are slow to arrive and expensive? hippy |
