RIP Bjorg Lambrecht

apparently he crashed onto a concrete culvert during today's TdP stage, was resuscitated at the scene but died later on in the hospital...
So sad. RIP.

Re: De Rosa 2020

I am not clear on the connection (or lack thereof?) of De Rosa with BIXXIS. Isn't the latter owned by a De Rosa brother? Are they connected or is it my usual countrymen bickering in the family? Can anyone shed light on this?

Re: Canyon unveils Ultimate CF Evo Disc: 5.95kg at $10,099

Sorry calnago, true, some good posts got deleted with the bad. I had no issues with the occasional post on related bikes. But things degenerating into insults and name calling, nope. No time to parse post-by-post. I am sure you understand. Enough said on this. Let's keep it on topic or we can lock ...

Appreciate it good sir. I worked quite a bit in Macedonia/Albania and loved my time in the lake Ohrid area. I will make a point of tracking you down at some point. I miss my shopska salads, tavche-gravche (sp?) and the wonderful people and scenery.

Re: When do you "need" a new bike?

Has anyone else "downgraded" and been able to live with it, and not felt the jealousy and longing when you see the latest and greatest on the roads or on the television?
