Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

2011 - The stats say the murder rate was below 15,000, that's incredibly low, I'd be interested to know what day that was?

You did not read the legend correctly : in 2011, there were 14881 users of Internet Explorer worldwide, and 30% of the world population was somehow involved in a murder or murder attempt.

So only a couple more years, and all the IE users will have been killed.

That's certainly compelling evidence of the hazardous nature of IE, and Microsoft products, in general. I'd quit using IE entirely, except that there are a few people on my list who are still alive. But when they're gone, I'll quit, really I will!

I know that some of you are cycling.
What mount (brand) are you using ? Big brand like Trek/Giant/... or ar you into smaller more specialized "boutique" brands ?
I'm looking into either a Giant TCR SLR (composite or aluminum ) or a Trek Domane series bike (composite or alu)
I might go into a local bike from Devinci or Argon-18 (if I can find end of season low prices) if you know about them.
Thanks.
I'd rather be phishing!

I was getting confused: I assumed you meant an SLR[^]

Ask John Simmons outlaw bike rider.

Does the brand really matter?
It has two wheels, some gears, brakes, saddle, it can steer, has the mandatory lights, you name it.. the letters on the frame aren't all that relevant.
I picked a quite sturdy one (though not overly heavy) because I like to put a lot of torque on the pedals and some flimsy models wobble a bit when you do that.

I go through bottom brackets like no-one's business, so cheap bikes don't work out cheap.

Eastway ST1 - comfortable commuter bike but slow to accelerate (or that could just be me), it was perfect for riding to work on poor quality roads in the rain this morning.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

This[^] with a set of these[^].
It's spectacular. I'm doing sub-3hr centuries confortably and hitting 50kmh on the flats is not a problem.
I'm not a fan of Giant. They have a great story when it comes to how they make their frames, but they've never grabbed me. I tried the Giant Propel (competitor to the Cervelo S5) and while it was lighter (The S% is heavy) it was creaky (on a brand new bike) and was seriously knocked about in the wind. Others who have had Giant liked them, but also liked moving on to a better bike.
Trek, on the other hand, are more mainstream, factory produced, but their Domane is a fantastic bike if you want comfort with a little speed. I've seen a number of riders here in Tronno on them and enjoying them. Great value for money.
Get carbon if you can over alloy. Far more comfortable. Stiff yet compliant.
Argon are great for the price. A guy in our cycling group has one and swears by it, and he is seriously fast.
Now: what about wheels? Enve tubulars or some Easton 90 clinchers?
Just give me your credit card and I'll go shopping for you. Trust me - it'll be easier.
cheers

In what, probably ridiculous, price range are the bikes you have just listed up ?
