I think all cyclists are fair game. we should have a point structure, maybe a little competition, ideas please.

I beg your pardon?
Seconded, unless he meant like a point structure like in Tennis to decide the rankings, but I don't see how that would work or how it's relevant

He must be referring the strange and confusing UCI world tour points system. Clearly a close follower of the saxo vs argos battle!
How does that differ from the ProTour then?

Going by his name I fear he may be this guy
It seems our new friend isn't quite up to speed with the small print of this thread.
Come on IL ALL you have to do is explain the points system to Jay.
Come on were all waiting

I find it funny. People come in to fish and are either ridiculed or ignored.

If you win loads of races they have to let you in to the big ones. If you don't then it depends whether you're mates with the UCI bigwigs. Simple.
Not forgetting:-
If you ride your arse off on the front, for your team leader, who goes on to win, solely due to your efforts.
You get no points, so obviously you have no worth and are forced to quit cycling.
Makes sense to me.

Interesting feature I've found on vbulletin. If you click (from The Big Board) on the number of replies, it shows how many each person has.
I've added together my posts here, Lance, The Olympics, Le Tour and it comes to a truly shocking 1790 
I'll be interested to see what percentage of my total posts are for the year, on a football forum, about cycling.

I'm only on 555. Although I have been fairly quiet this year on the forum in general, so probably about 60% of my posts are cycling related (lately nearer to 95%)I've added together my posts here, Lance, The Olympics, Le Tour and it comes to a truly shocking 1790

Don't forget there are other cycling threads that you've not included
"Can someone explain team cycling to me?" (SB 36)
"Lance Armstrong - Finally The Truth ?" (SB 24) <-This makes very good reading now. Well worth looking over again.
And there are many many more. Just search for cycling and tour. There will be loads of ones there with little green markers on them for you.

That's what I did so they are all in my total.
There's probably another 20 or so odd posts about Brad, and stuff.
I've now searched 'bike', in order to pick up all the new bike advise requests I've commented on.
There's another 95 posts
. Mainly due to [MENTION=18774]Rugrat[/MENTION] and gears.
Anyho, as part of my campaign to keep the posts down, too little too late.
Now for something completely different.
Out on delivery today I spied lying in a skip, on a driveway, a very knackered purple one of these:-
It was in a bad bad way, I didn't look to see how sound it is, and I wish I hadn't seen a picture of that beauty to show what bike it is.
Obvious question time.
As I can't get my hands on a 'classic' European restoration job, do I go round and see if these people will give me the Falcon?
Pointless asking you lot as I know what you are all going to say, anyway.

Just out of interest who's restoring what at the moment?
I'm attempting to restore a 1987(ish) Peugot Tourmalet.
zfleas has a 1984(?) Peugot as well.
Anyone else?
