Soon... but it's more like an evil twin, than the same as Suzy's :
Actually, calling it a 'twin' is tainting the vastly superior Littl
Fish.. mine is more like a bank robber that the Little Fish once saw o
TV... (too long in the office, sorry..

welcome to do an exchange one day for a quick blat around loca
Kew/Balwyn/Bulleen trails..

It's the engine that matters anyway.. race me and my Shimano and th
loser has to change groupset allegiances :

I have no real link with either company.. I might actually use Campa
one day.. if I could only find a bike shop with it

I think I've just worked out why you struggle with bike funds.. it's al
that overpriced Campy stuff you buy.. :

<bitchslap-mode: off

Possibly useful info: Ultegra will be coming out in a 10spd version

>thawt that'd reel you in

I bait easy, but I'm rarely serious in my replies :

>campy aint any more expensive (unless you go to record

Yeah, but I'm out in the 'burbs where there's not many bike shops wit
the big C in stock

>Once I grovel my way up to Cgrade your on

Sure you don't want me to just enter D grade? I haven't raced sinc
before April.. how slack

>Im bettin Ultegra 10spd is accomponied by a price hike too :-

No doubt, but then maybe 9spd will be cheaper. I have an answer t
component maker price hikes.. it's called a singlespeed... ;

stickers all over em has the vast majority of their riders re-specci
their machines to campag (Zabel, Ullrich, etc

when was the last time you competed in it?

'nuff said...

Zebee
- who won her last motorcyce race in the late 80s and is very unlikely
to win another on the bikes she rides now. but the race bikes would
be horrible things to ride to Perth on carrying clothes and camping kit
for a month.

It is possible to cancel your own posts on Usenet, although not all servers
will honour cancel messages because of the high number of frauds. However,
I suspect it's more likely Zebee's post simply hasn't circulated to your
server yet (which is precisely why you should always quote relevant
material - there is no guarantee that all posts will reach all servers).
