I need an Ultegra rear deraulier for my cross bike, as I crashed in my last race this morning and put mine into the spokes. Not a pretty sight. On the upside, offseason started 20 minutes early.

Anybody have one in good shape they'd let go for short money?

I wish this story had gone deeper into his training and preparation, but you get the gist. A true picture of someone racing for love over money.

Jens falling down on the job.....again

Well, it's definitely a good way to find out what the limits are.

My 9 speed Shimano DA rear shifter recently gave up the ghost and I need a replacement. At some point this winter I'll be getting a new shifter groupo, most likely SRAM. But for the next 3-4 months I need to limp along on a decent replacement. Haven't had any luck with the shop or online so far. If anyone happens to have one sitting in the basement that they'd like to sell, I'm your guy.

Thanks!

Pay attention people!

I just went to set up my DVR for the Tour and what should greet me? Until approximately 2am EST tomorrow, Vs has something Lance related every hour on the hour. For the next 8 hours it might as well be called the Lancus channel.

My question - does this surprise you, gentle viewer?

On one side you have a 31 yr old formerly suspended Giro champ, who's sitting in 5th place, 3.19 off the pace, but who has looked frisky at times over the last 3-4 stages.

On the other you have a 37 yr old formerly retired 7 time Tour champ who's biggest energy expenditure over the last 3 years has been a handful of marathons and cross races. He's sitting 12th, 11.06 back, but led Levi in yesterday and looked the fresher of the two.

Discuss.
