Ho ho Richard,

Highly amusing and pithy (not), but then again 'elite' status on the list obviously allows priviliged rights to add veiled insults to your otherwise witty postings.....

BTW all our post bikes are red and white.... Guess you had to come off your moral high ground and sell out some time. :-) They even come with Sachs hubs these days, and no doubt soon to have repro Nervex lugs...(a cost option).

I'll try and find time to explain why the British ("Brit" is for Austin Powers and "pop" chart wannabe's) have had comparitively little success in an essentially mainland European "competitive" sport. It has little to do with leaguers, testers or bugger all else that's been stated "authoritively" by self styled experts on the list (so far)...That is if I can get away from tiling the Bathroom for long enough...

Come on Mick help me out here....
