  1. How about that, Jobst Brandt posting to uk.r.c about handling
    problems... not bad if you can get JB to help sort your shimmy out. The
    internet (sorry, usenet) is a wonderful thing. Watch some numpty start
    arguing the toss... or maybe there will be someone that fancies telling
    Sheldon how to grease a bottom bracket or sommat.

    So who else do we have as celeb posters? Maybe LA has a look-in now and
    again eh? If so, hi Lance - make sure you use the Manchester track for
    the hour record eh? You know you want to. Fast track, good support,
    there's a great tex-mex place not TOO far away, perfect.

    I had that Seth Enslow in the back of a post once.

    bfn,

    Pop over to rbt where he and Sheldon post regularly and do get told how
    to grease a bottom bracket. Keith Bontrager has been know to post there
    too.

    The OP was cross-posted to rbm which is perhaps where JB picked it up.
    But Sheldon Brown has, IIRC, responded directly to urc.

    All you have to do is chant his name 3 times and he appears as if by
    magic...

    Sheldon Brown, Sheldon Brown, Sheldon Brown.

    Don't you have to do this in front of a mirror? And doesn't he then
    appear behind you and gouge you with his hook?

    Someone of Fabrizio's style guru status would never allow themselves to
    be seen near urc. Think of the field day the paparazzi would have!

    Was it someone going by the nym Fabio or Fabrizzio
    that used to post (Ifeel slightly tongue in cheek)
    about how good he was/looked and how you had to
    spend a lot to be a "proper" cyclist?

    The one and same, and I gather he was a pretty decent cyclist too.

    Absolutely. He was, and possibly still is, Vini Caldirola's invisible pro.
    Allegedly. The fact that he is completely unable to /spell/ the word
    "Caldirola" is, of course, just part of his cover :-)

    I'm just quietly chuckling to myself as to what us cyclists consider
    'celebrities'.

    Next month in Hello! magazine, Johnny Clay shows us his new kitchen...

    Actually, I'm probably sad enough to buy it for that. You can possibly
    see why I got particularly bored of a certain formulaic magazine.
