    Dunno about the gears side of things...I've kind of gone off brifters and probably can't afford it anyway (about to buy a house ffs!) I really like the brake calipers though.

    SRAM's contrived "We must have a full groupset" groupset? This has
    already been discussed here 🙂

    Shimano-compatible tools and spare parts because?

    Complete with handy link to adobe's flash plugin... for version 7 on
    lunix. Thanks adobe for planned obsolecence and cross platform
    support. Thanks a heap. (oh well, at least I take solace in the fact
    that it's probably just the same as before, only more bloated. Much
    like their acroread product. Fscking tools.).

    Depends on the pricing. I wouldn't pay more for this than the
    equivalent Shimano or Campy, at least until they've been around a while
    and proven themselves more durable or something.

    Which is why I won't be buying anything from St Kilda Cycles.

    An entire website in flash. Bugger off.

    SNAP: I did exactly what you and Tim did. Agree 100%.

    OK, I admit that I use pdf format for sending formal documents. My only
    excuse is that it is better than sending documents in some random dialect
    of MS Word, and most of the MS-oriented world hasn't caught up with the
    ISO/IEC 26300 open document format.

    Cheers,

    Vince

    doesn't, you might want to visit www.openoffice.org)

    Because I could make a really good home on my bicycle for those old
    throw-aways.

    ....PLEASE... :-) :-)

    To my utter horror I have to do an into and maybe an outro in flash in a
    bit. Hopefully the thing actually saves right this time. Horrible
