From the bottom of our hearts, and on behalf of everyone at Velominati, we wish you a very Happy Holidays and as such issue a temporary suspension of Rule #11.
I’d like to thank everyone for coming around to our little corner of the world to spend your valuable time as part of the community; without you, none of this works. Thanks for helping to make 2011 a success. Here’s to 2012.
We wish you a Merckxy Christmas, and a Coppi New Year.

Thanks to everyone - from the bottom of my Spinal Tap Black heart - for coming by and being part of our world. Let 2012 begin; I predict a totally unpredictable year. A year for the unknown!
As for Keepers Tour - I've got my wheels sorted:
Royce hubs, and two sets of FMB Paris-Roubaix tubbies (being hand-made presently) and I'm ready to build me wheels this week. Merckxy Christmas indeed.
And in other news, @Marko found out today that he's joining Keepers Tour 2012: Cobbled Classics. That's four - FOUR - Keepers on KT2012. The B&B we're staying in will be opening just in time for us to stay there, and I have a feeling they will resign from the hotel bidniz when we're done. That, and the brewery who is hosting us and letting us drink for free will also never make that mistake again.
Cheers.

Nice!
@Roadslave
Now, that's conditioning!! How many times has he heard you say that as you roll home? Oh, to be a kid. You know that's it, now, right? The rest of his life he'll be like us. Lucky fuckin' kid.
@all
Thanks for the great year. The Keepers will be taking the week off and we'll be riding on the wheels of some of the great guest articles we've got piled up in the queue. Please sit back and enjoy the coming week of back-to-back articles from the community. A-Merckx.
I'm a new guy and have been enjoying the site for about a month. Looking forward to the new year and a possible 200 on 100 appearance. Merckxy Christmas!
@Buck Rogers
Thanks BR. Your advice sealed the deal for me.
Did you say there's more pudding?!
Gift to self:
Bike #2 is a De Rosa Team alu frame built up with Rival and Ultegra wheelset. Assorted Deda stuff as finishing gear.
This will be the bike that stays at home in Melbourne for the ten-odd weeks a year I'm here and away from the Addict R2 in Singapore.
Yay me.
Saw it heavily discounted in a LBS just before Christmas and lasted a few days before asking them to change the wheelset they had on it (heavy crap) for the Ultegras, also discounted, then pulled the trigger.
Chuffed.
NB> Yes, I know the crank arms are at a far from compliant angle for photography.
@Skinnyphat
Welcome, and Merckxy Christmas to all the community... you all make this site what it is.
@Marko
Yeah boi, that's awesome news that you're joining us! I hope your VMH got you a ticket to Amsterdam for the pre-tour training camp...
@frank
Those Royce hubs look sweet! Just lovely!
Happy Christmas to all!
@Skinnyphat
Welcome and here's to hoping you join up at the 200 on 100 - the more the merrier!
