Boni should send Rajesh his saddle bag and lights. That'll tip the scales.

You do understand that UCI rules only apply to UCI-sanctioned events, right? And you are aware that the specific requirement is that the bike needs to weigh 6.8kg at the time of the weigh-in?

Saddle bags are not meat for road bike. Every thing should be kept in Jersey pockets.

By the way rajesh can remove saddle bag when ever he wants so it is of no use.


I think he should upgrade to heavy wheels and make his bike heavy.

Last photo of Raj I saw, he was wearing an orange safety vest, had lights and saddle-bag on his bike and I think he is probably ordering some mirrors for his bike and his helmet soon.

Based on available info, my guess is that the Dogma is being built up along these lines:

I can almost imagine Dr. Rao dancing around the room, squealing in glee at that description of the new Rajesh. His life's mission is accomplished.

Either Sir Rupert learned fast, or his lady friend started cycling faster.

I'm with Maninder on this. Rajesh, I have some heavy wheels for you to upgrade to. Just give me your current ones and we'll call it even.

I thought you were old enough to know that women choose - only a few are nice enough to let men delude themselves that they learned fast! :p

I think Rnair is afraid of adding the another 800grams to his bike because he thinks that it will make him slow. :lol:

Respected Sir, Last thing I want to be doing is saying anything to you but since we are here for the entertainment let me add a few lines.


I have more bikes and wheelsets in my stable than clothes in my wardrobe. I race 3 months a year and in a blink of an eye I can change my bike to meet any requirement for any race! I am also aware of UCI regulations.

So get back to your bike and ride and don't sweat on the weight of my bikes.

Besides, the only thing Raj is afraid of is the Guads. That's thrice he has ducked away them.

I must confess, I find the idea of a tenacious oil to be mildly terrifying.

Dont ask me how but I have 2 of these now! New. Bought it for the Dogma. Too complicated to send it back. Can bring it to India if anyone wants to buy it? Asking 195 Euros. U can avoid the risk of it missing it in postage, shipping or other fees. Let me know.
