Weight weenie bikes

The days of spending ridiculous amounts of cash on parts to build a weight weenie bike have ended…. but I still admire and appreciate a good light build.

Just take a look at these!

That Cannondale is an amazing bike, saw one at a local store here…

No mate they are random bikes I’ve read about on the net. The first one is the winning bike of the Womens Olympic games in China.

Yes the Scott range intrigue me alot… I must admit. I’m not sure that that bike would last me very long here in Christchurch though as it is very rocky in the hills.

Hey, great blog, keep it up. I enjoy reading your eclectic bits + pieces. Here’s a great ‘You Tube’ I found worthy of posting somewhere (pushy bastard,eh) linked into my name.

Lance Armstrong pushing his mountain-bike up a hill.

It gives hope to us all! All the best. Paul

Hey Paul :) Thanks for that link and compliments!

I particularly like it when Lance to gets on the bike at the top to realize it is still to steep to ride… we’ve all done that a few times eh!

Now he is back for the Tour in 2009 I bet he smokes this race next year!!

Cheers.

Paul

p.s. I added the link in your text too!
