A Magnet wins, some others don't...

Mixed fortunes for members of the crumbling 'Acme Wheel Magnet' empire on the weekend. Col (below, modelling the latest in leg warmer fashion) took a win at the club race in C grade, while Dean and Scott could only manage 3rd at the Working Week Series 8 hour at Penrose. Some stiffer competition and a flat tyre helped to thwart their challenge, apparently. Details are sketchy. At least they were all out there racing. I still felt like crap and decided to rest up in front of the telly and the computer. While surfin' around, I happened upon what I think will be my next bike-related purchase, these beautiful road wheels from HED, the 'Bastogne'. Not only are they named after one of the great Spring Classics, but they are light as (1430gms), and the blue stickers match my steed perfectly. And of course, they are black rims, so I won't be breaking the rules

I like Col's knee warmers. He looks very attractive to me, how can I meet him?
