Advantages: Sturdy reliable and fast than a car arround town Disadvantages: None
...Having just completed 1000 mile Lands End- John Ogroats on a super galaxy I can do nothing but praise it. Before starting the trip it was about 3yrs old and had been cycled hard. I made some slight modifications an put on spd cleats, suspention seat post and Terrys saddle and Panracer kevlar slik tyres. I cycled through some appalling weather but the bike was as fresh when I finished as when I started.
None of the spoks loosened and when cycling at speed the ridgidity got me out of some tight scrapes. My next trip is Winchester to Santiago in northern Spain . Spring 2001.
If you want to do a cycle ride do the end to end....

Advantages: Excellent deals now available for cheap price Disadvantages: Back spinning bail arm
...by itself sometimes, allowing your line to get in a bit of a mess. I have had bad tangles caused by this. You get used to it after a while. All you have to do is remember to leave the bail set in the right position. Bit annoying though!!! It just appears to be too free running.
The reel has a rear drag system, as most do these days (if they have one at all). It has a wide range of settings, but I rarely use this anyway. The reels body is very smooth and feels very non-stick even in the rain.
I've really not had to do much to look after this reel over the last couple of years. I don't think that I have once yet actually opened it up to apply any extra grease or anything. All I do is rinse it off under the tap every so often to remove any mud or bait. They're definitely built to last (which makes them definitely worth the money).
I...

Advantages: Can be as good as a Weights-Gym/Multi-Gym for building/training Upper Body and Mid-Section Disadvantages: Not as effective for Lower Body as it is for Upper Body, Not that easy to 'Fold-Away' every time you use it
...BACKGROUND
I am 37 years of age. 5 years back I used to be Super-Fit .... and I mean SUPER-FIT!!! I went to the gym and used free-weights, machines + cardio around 4 to 5 times a week (sometimes more than that!). I weighed a whisker under 13 Stone at 6'0 Feet tall and had only about 8% Bodyfat. What does that mean to the lay-person? Well I guess it means .... six-pack, taut, toned, and all over body wicked muscle definition ... etc. etc. Dammit! I looked good (if I may say so myself!) ... and I damn well knew it!
So what happened afterwards (i.e. in the past 5 years) ??? Well, I got married, had kids, worked crazy hours till "silly O'Clock" and basically just let myself go.....ever so slightly .... I'm sure you've heard of this happening before - and it may have happened to you yourself! Having other responsibilities I just couldn...
