I also need to get a another full Dura Ace Group, or maybe I should switch to Campagnolo.

There's a lolcat for that -

Ok guys I am finding myself getting too irritated with people on the forums today so I am going to deforum for a few hours. See y'all later tonight my friends. :)


Hi Myrany, hope you are feeling less frustrated.

[rant]
I'm finding myself getting rather irritated with the people coming into the shop. I don't know if it's because I'm leaving the job and know I won't have to put up with their crud for much longer, but it seems be getting worse the closer I get to the move. I'm in technical sales for industry and manufacturing, and quite often they will send the new guy or the apprentice to get stuff.

I think my technical knowledge is very good, but most of the time they don't know who they work for, what they've been sent to get, how much, and what the product is actually used for, or how. All this is not aided by the computer system which is a national network with the servers in another country and so under resourced as to be almost unusable. Every day is a test of my patience. I'm seriously thinking about giving this game away and going back to my trade, or in fact almost anything else. Pulling all my fingernails out one by one with a pair of pliers would be more fun some days.

To top it off today, we'd closed up and were getting in our cars to go home and a truck comes speeding into the carpark. Driver jumps out and demands that we serve him. He makes a comment that we close up right on 4:30PM and are leaving straight away. I sit in my car thinking about how I left home at 6:15AM that morning, same as every morning, and he's just made sure that I get stuck in the 5PM traffic on the highway. I completely ignore him as the boss opens up the store and goes to get some of the stuff he wants (but not all, the computers are off). He probably thought I was rude.

I certainly need a holiday, which has be cancelled for now due to the move. They say a change is as good as a holiday and I hope this is the case.

My father use to say "There's nothin' stranger than folk". Seems to be more true every day. ;-)

Sorry Fab. People are yerks, sometimes.

Sinus infection better. NO to the shots. I get enough shots every day. I have had dogs all of my adult life, and compared to my last Angel, a border collie named SAlly, BUTCH hardly sheds at all. I didn't sleep with any other dog but BUTCH, but .... I am not getting any more shots. I will continue to suffer for my love!

Good news. As I stayed home from work because of this lousy infection...I got to open my vapemail as soon as it came.My BLACK DISCOS are even PRETTIER than my PINK DISCOS. Absofreakinlutely GORGEOUS! Made my day much better.

Holy god my semi pro trek costed less. Can't wait to get another trek in jan. might go with the trek Portland.


On earth so far away.

The high end group sets can get a bit expensive.

Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 7970 10-Speed Road 10-Piece Groupset - Pro Bike Supply

By the time you get great wheels and frame it is not hard to get to 10k

Instead of the Portland have you thought about getting an old 86' Trek 520 frame, tear it down and build it up with better components?

My new McAfee Site Advisor calls that a Suspicious Site and says "Whoa! Are you sure you want to go there?". My computer's recently been really plagued by pop-ups. And, no, I haven't been cruising porn sites...a bit of froggy porn, okay. I'll see just how much it tries to protect me from before I decide if I'll listen to it, but I'm passing on the yak horn.

You can search for it in Google images, I saw a bunch of them.
