...although this is an interesting diversion, has paulb made up his mind yet..?

paulb went to Albarracin and got sunburnt.

I think the Bianchi C22 would be what I'd go for from the two i've been on BUT... More and more people have been telling me of second hand bargains they've bought so I'll be cruising Ebay with intent.

that's quite like my one.

i've just replaced the brake pads, cos i think the ones that were on it had been on for years - they worked for a tiny bit and then faded horrendously...

i too have two wheelsets. it came with tubular wheels and a vicious block - 11-19?!

i then got a more sensible geared set of clincher wheels.

i need to get out on that bike a bit more... in a suitably wooly jersey.

Nah - it was my bike down at The Works, but our receptionist Chris now owns it. Its our new take on the Ride to Work scheme....we only provide the finest vintage racing bikes for our staff (free of charge, of course!)

Percy (on Graemes login, cos the silly twat has gone out and forgotten to log out again... he's probably off down to Athena to buy an Alan Shearer poster for his mastubatorium...)

that last post was in jest by the way, so nobody bother going and giving me negative karma for "wanting to blag into the works" or owt.
