Every race has flaming and hating between rego and start time - thing is, that’s only usually half an hour or so.
made some alterations to provide correctness in your statement.
also - those who know ‘george’ (aka the ac/dc fan above) also know what tone of voice to read many of his posts in. 
you all need to let him drink his espresso and sell his pretty italian shoes without fear of a lost fixed gear rider wandering into his store (the modern version of staying off his lawn).
pfft. Jay wishes he was as fast as me. The only reason I’ve never beaten him is due to a number of factors including: unfortunate mechanicals, built-in-GPS brainfarts and an abundance of body hair which A: slows me down, but B: proudly identifies me as non-pro.
i think it all started going wrong when ‘george’ became ‘heatseeker’. that’s when the shark got jumped.
I should look at the Melbourne section more often: this is the best thread in ages.
It was even better before certain posts were ‘cleaned up’…
I loved how mean streets was only 3 days notice, but this whole month and a half beforehand thing is sooooooo entertaining
i read on a blog yesterday that vespas are the new FG.
on a different blog i read that Di2 equipped crabon fribé is the new FG
I read somewhere that banannas with little hollowed-out bits for you to sit in were the new fixed gear, and that sliding down a hill naked lubed up with bacon grease was the new alleycat.
That last post just made me hungry, but I can’t work out if I want fruit smoothie or a BLAT. Which one of these treats is the new fixed gear snack?
neither. hipsters are vegan.
you can get vegan versions of both.
What Brendan said, I thought it was a given that everyone on here would know that.
facon grease?
fanana smoothies??
though i have to say, those vegan snags at ddcx were much better than i thought
Agreed.
Will there be vegan snacks at this event?
That’d make it really sweet.
Also, Falcon Grease should be what I will name one of my various bikes.
is the L silent though?
I’ll draw it on (like on my SchMercx) like this:
FACON GREASE

Melbourne ‘fixie’ riders???
‘Fixie’ is a term a spectator uses, not a participant.
Melbourne ‘FACON’ Riders, maybe?
Actually, that’s just me.
