Not stopping anytime soon
Breaking the law!
It's the only way TC beat the King of New York.
Felipe may not haven't invented the skitch, but the King does it more often and at higher speed than anyone I know.
So make sure whatever you grab onto is going even faster - than a Lotus.
If the verdict was ever out on coloured chains...
Call me a Helmet Nazi, but no matter how cute you are, face rash and brain damage is a big turn-off.
Chances are you could even find a white and canary helmet to match your ride, Lassie.
Serves me right.
Experimenting with variably geared drivetrains.
Should have known better.
It started innocently with a Super Record equipped 'Saronni'. 10 speed.
That's TWO times FIVE gears.
Then in evolved slowly into a SE7EN speed Kenevans.
An 8 veloce speeeeed Colnago.
9 on the foor - Llewellyn.
10 MX Leader.
Enough!
I boldly threatened to quit cycling if the BIG GUNS made 11 speed.
I've got a month till I quit.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Super Record!
Is this the new shape of Campagnolo for 2009?

Campagnolo's official launch of its 2009 product line is still a few weeks away but a rash of leaked information already has our mouths watering for what's to come.
First, the big news: Campagnolo will apparently make the jump to an 11-speed cassette for its top three groups which will now include a modern revival of the Super Record nameplate. According to unconfirmed rumors (which, admittedly, seem decidedly accurate), that extra cog will be squeezed into the same space as the current 10-speed setups.
While this means likely backwards compatibility with existing hubs and wheelsets, it does signal narrower cog spacing and chain widths (and a likely subtle adjustment in chainring spacing) as well as yet another shifter and derailleur ‘standard' that will surely create some headaches on the retail level. The new chain is also supposedly just 5.5mm wide which raises the obvious concerns regarding drivetrain wear although we all said the same thing when 10-speed was debuted, too. We'll reserve judgment here until we're able to try it ourselves and, for now, will just hope that Campagnolo engineers have done their homework.
Take notes.
How to do it right!
I love this bike. Partially because I have one, but primarily because C.A.R.E. and thought has gone into it - and it glows.
White H.O.T.
This week is Roller Derby Round 6 - and if there were any doubts were the inspiration came from for bringing these back...
Here's some shots from Episode II - 2002.
Okay, so the last picture isn't from the Rollapaluza - but she thinks they're rad.
There are some variations in the events, but we both have the same ethos - have serious fun, drink, race, stay dry.
Round 6 will also feature the Chooka Challenge. 4 laps of the dial.
The time to beat is held by local track legend, 'Chooka' Ceccini and is 1.02.
Sorry lads, this lady is now Mrs...
Congratulations to the newly weds.
We can't ALL live in the Coffee Capital.
