Let the bling begin!!!

[frank1200]

. This one is for me. April to date I've shed 11kg and that's before starting to cycle

sure there was never that much of you there in the first place

 

[frank1200]

since you last seen me I've shed 22kg

Shure! we'll only be half the men we were

get a grip lads you are going against the whole idea of this site

this is where full size bikers hang out

 

[Ravenbyrne]

So a wee update............

Some more bits fitted

New slicks......couldn't get on with the knobblies
New chain.......lighter, faster and stronger....
New luggage....(under the seat)......
New rear mud guard.....
New bar-end grips......
New quick release seat post thingy....
New bottle cage......
New power commander....(that will me me)...

a few more bits to add....like, led lights front and rear, wireless trip computer and might consider putting a set of aero-bars on a well.

Can't believe I haven't got bum or leg ache yet although that might have something to do with the fact I was the Artane triathlon champion on three successive years..........even if it was a couple of years ago now.

Anyone fancy a fish dash on pedal bikes

Bryan, I just bought myself some new cycling shoes and to buy the cleats I had to buy some pedals, you can have them if you like, BUT a pair of cleats is not much less than a pair of pedals...

What size shoe are you? I have some old shoes too size 45.

OK do, I will see how much the post works out but no bother, I am now more like a 46 and the new shoes are much better. Text me the address as I no longer have it and your surname.

My fitness level is not that good just yet Richie but we will certainly support the run. Could you post a PayPal account link, or even an address so we could send a few bob. Geraldine knows Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association very well and has worked with them in the past.
