    How would He feel if I was to only obey the Commandments I liked?

    Hercules was a semi god.. and he looks at you with disapproval because you still have your valve caps on. I won't even comment on the pedals, he has shed litters of tears.

    With the bike hanging on scales so we can see the weight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,318 ✭✭✭✭Raam


    Also, someone who buys Tune seat clamps and ILink cables cannot claim to not be trying to reduce weight.

    Not, inverse, reciprocal.

    Seat clamp was a cheap one, not purchased because of weight, ilinks were due to amazingly not hitting budget and were a moment of madness. Need to point out that weight so far is sans bar tape so it'll end up 7 or so. Pics on Monday :-)

    You are protesting too much. Probably you were out earlier buying acetone so you can remove any excess paint. Don't lie to me, I can tell.

    I don't matter a damn how light your bike is if you dont actually ride bikes anymore :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,860 ✭✭✭TinyExplosions
