The Dog tilted 90 degree to the driver side.
Wouldn't that have caused even bigger damages? Lucky it did not fell off the roof, don't which is worst at this point.

dude... looks like your merida is riding on a sinking ship...better start sapu'ing patch kits man...

Scarponi suspended from the current Lampre-ISD squad...
Michele Scarponi suspended by Lampre-ISD for links to Ferrari

and reports that future Lampre-Merida is on unstable grounds...
Lampre on shaky ground, Acqua & Sapone shuts its doors

QUOTE
For 2013, Italy’s other first division team, Lampre, takes on Merida as a secondary sponsor, but stands on a shaky foundation. The team may be crushed by the Mantova investigation, which is nearing its end. It involves several of its staff and riders, including general manager Giuseppe Saronni. The former cyclist and 1982 world champion allegedly encouraged his riders to visit Guido Nigrelli’s pharmacy in Mantova for banned drugs.

The Mantova investigation does not account for Lampre’s top stage racer, Michele Scarponi, who is involved in the Padua investigation and on Tuesday had to explain his relationship with Dr. Michele Ferrari to the Italian Olympic Committee’s chief prosecutor, Ettore Torri. Scarponi is temporarily suspended by the team and could face a three-month to lifetime ban.

dude... you are not going to start making love to it are you???

what does sexy have to do with a frame??? you can't see it most of the time you are riding it...WTH!!!

if it's so sexy... you'll be getting a hard on rather than riding it...

heather graham @ 42 is what i would still call sexy at best... never a bicycle frame... appealing is what i will use at most...

Added on November 9, 2012, 9:47 amWiggo's used road bike for sale?

is he personally trying to fund his own doping ring??? he is even selling his beard trimmer for gods sake... so desperate for $... price of EPO must have gone up after good publicity by the LA scandal rclxms.gif

QUOTE
For Sale

Restoration Project – Racing bike

Pinarello Dogma 2, black with yellow pinstripe

One (arguably) careful owner

Selling as is – crash damaged

Most parts, including full Shimano Dura Ace Di2 groupset, in full working order

Missing front wheel

Forks require thorough inspection before use – potential impact damage. Forks also marked with paint matching that of a Vauxhall Astra

I am having a clear out so please see my other items:

Beard trimmer – new and in box

Cofidis cycling jersey – stained

Zippo collection – I promised the missus I’d quit

Vintage Sex Pistols’s God Save The Queen poster

Guys, need your input and opinion as a fellow cyclist:

I'm planning to convert my current Merida to suit the new terrain (fast flat route) in the Middle East
(30-40km avg speed on group ride 80km-120km)

Full 2013 SRAM Red grouppos
Zipp 404 Firecrest CC
New handlebar perhaps with the tri-bar

Thrash it good for 3 years there and buy the whatever latest specialized has to offer when I'm back in Msia.

How's that sound? Is it a good choice?

I lost you... what does SRAM Red have to do with flat terrain? Just throw out your 11-32T for a 11-25T or 11-23 or even 11-21 if you are.

You won't need new bars... clip ons will do if you need em... but dangerous to hunker down in a fast group ride... if someone emergency stops, you're dead.. or the fella in front...

but i agree... trash it...

Make sense a bit lor. Lighter weight and psychological effect does matter. All that may contribute to -/+ 1 or 2kmh increase of avg speed tongue.gif

Cos when everything top notch already next thing to upgrade will only be the frameset..perhaps a cycle of 3 years or 5 years for frame upgrade.

Clip on dangerous ah? Cos got no brakes right?

Can we buy insurance for our bike? Is it possible in Malaysia? Imagine if you buy rm30k worth of bike and you crashed it or someone stole it..at least we could claim it if it is insured.

Else 30k gone like dat..cry also no use

older helios 600 with full ultegra and ksyrium elite...under 5k...

i normally won't recommend ultegra with aluminum frames... but this is only the cost of a more expensive 105 equipped bike
