Carbon fibre... LMAO!!!
Mine came about after one too many posts of "Is my carbon fibre bike which is just as durable as any steel bike still safe coz I just found the smallest scratch on the planet on the fork leg?"

Wouldn't trust that stuff if my daughters lives depended on it.

My avatar is intentionally enigmatic. The message it's supposed to convey is "don't judge a book by its cover/not everything is what it seems". In retrospect, I'm thinking what planet was I on.

The image is of a New Zealand cricketer from the 1960s, Gary Bartlett. Was he a hero? Villian? Victim? Regular guy? It's far from clear, and a case could be made for any of those. I think it's time for a change.

My username refers to the Col des Aravis, as you might have guessed. Of the classic Alpine cols it's perhaps the most accessible, a kind of everyman's classic. I wouldn't have been so pretentious as to call myself Izoard or Stelvio. More particularly, in 1985 it was the scene of the single most dramatic moment of my life in cycling, a story I will tell on this forum sometime.
