Otto Espresso maker

i hope this thing makes coffee as good as it looks. Retail $875 from Atomic in Kingsland. think im gonna have to splash out. Dont get me wrong the Bialetti is beautiful but this is just something else. even has a milk frother. a bit gay. real cyclists dont need milk, however could be used for a macchiato. lucky.
shit three posts in one day. very sporadic this posting shit

Treks in Paris.

Contadors Madone ridden into Paris, looks sickLances Madone ridden into Paris...looks "pretty". more on the Colored Treks at: http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/stages/hirst/

Tour done and dusted- Check

its over. unsuprisingly Contador won. unsuprisingly Lance Gaystrong didnt. Carlos did nothing. Fabian was the man. Jens Voigt hurt himself. Cadel looked stupider(if the chin wasnt enough). France did well for once. no one thrown out for doping... yet and cavendish won a tonne of stages expending possibly the amount of energy i do on a 4 hour ride but over 3 weeks. next year starts in Hollland, sounds shit to be honest.

Lances Tour TT Bike

Appears to be the same frame Contador has been using of late. Hidden cables, hidden brakes and new paint job courtesy of Marc Newson. The rear disc has been painted to look like it is pulsing when rotating. should be interesting none the less.

The white horse jockey is racing the tour!

Lucky for him. Being denied may have well resulted in another night on the piss and a fourth positive.
