    I know Tiny is probably getting one, seeing as he has one already ! Anyone else getting one? Just curious.

    It's an interesting blog, only been reading it a few months, but it's well written and one finds it very easy to empathise with his situation.

    It's a great blog, and indeed I have one of his last run (as does niceonetom), but I don't know if I'll get another -can't really afford one atm, and one's enough :)

    Having said that, it's a great cause

    You know I think I just might. I just read the signifigance of the '201' on the jersey. Turns out I'm a Clydesdale* (201.5), but I'm working on it.

    Plus the money raised goes to a good cause. It is a great blog, I usually read it after the latest installment of funny vitriol from Bike Snob NYC.

    *and this only a week after I learn about 'Fred'

    Ahh Tiny, it's the Mavic wheels now I see you're interested in the other topic.

    (and I still don't know what a FRED is)

    I'm a freakin Clydesdale and a half -90kgs is about as small as I'll ever be! :)

    Me is hearing rumour of Assos n'est pas?

    Yeah Bike Snob and Fat Cyclist are my two good blog reads. I also subscribe to the bikecommuters.com site in the states, but the smug righteousness from those articles drives me nuts. I don't know why I keep reading it.

    I'm very far into the Clydesdale category, reckon I actually need another category somewhere higher up - bulldozer maybe

    Yeah, but I'm 5'5" - is there such a thing as a Shetland Pony Clydesdale?:eek:

    I'd love to get one but I wouldn't have the neck to wear it out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭Gavin


    ? The design looks pretty good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,234 ✭✭✭Explosive_Cornflake


    I'll be getting a different pink jersey soon.
