Happy New Year to all and BTW, I had my latest Gitane, a 1970 Super Corsa out for it's first ride today (between raindrops). 41 Years old, it rides great! I would have had it out earlier but the 14-30T Regina Oro freewheel freewheeled in both directions. I soaked it in solvent for a few days to loosen up the pawls. _________________ Chas.

It's only $3000.............. each way At least wait until your $US gets back to rights. At the moment we are getting about US$1.02 for our $1AU. Used to be the other way around with us buying US$0.65 for our $1AU. But it's good for me to buy some stuff online at the moment!! _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin'   Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2011 5:18 pm lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 for that i could have bought the delta   Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2011 5:23 pm Wisey Joined: 19 May 2009 Posts: 631 Location: Brisbane, Australia lofter wrote: for that i could have bought the delta Let me give you some free advice: If you have to choose between visiting Aus and buying a Delta, BUY THE DELTA! _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin'   Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2011 5:26 pm lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 you betcha   Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 3:07 pm nicolas Joined: 13 Mar 2006 Posts: 543 Location: Paris, France My new year résolution : stop showing off...

The training will consist of 2 repeats on the longer one and 3 on the shorter one. _________________ 1984 Gitane Sprint 1984 Gitane Tour de France mid-1970's Gitane Olympic Plus many more http://eburgcycling.blogspot.com   Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 9:30 am lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 scozim wrote: Three resolutions: 2) Keep trying to get weight down to 155 lbs (70 kg) - still stuck at 168 (76 kg) man u skinny guys kill me   Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 10:31 am nicolas Joined: 13 Mar 2006 Posts: 543 Location: Paris, France nicolas wrote: My new year résolution : stop showing off...
