    Fact is they are made in France and the 'face' of the French company concerned in their ads is the guy that Lord(?) Hoy beat to get his last medal.
    All good fun, innit?
    It's Sir Chris Hoy.
    He is a knight, not a peer.

    I believe that the competition (ie. the rest of the world) can buy bikes of the exact same specification as the ones used by the Team GB riders, and have been able to do so for the last couple of years.

    The equipment is important, but it doesn't fully account for the degree of success Team GB cyclists have enjoyed in these games.

    Hi Chris,
    Yep I know he's a knight of the realm but since he was knighted he's got 50% more gold medals. Presumably, being the highest ever gold medal winner will merit further official acknowledgement and what can they now offer except a peerage?
    Coe got one for licking a politician's arse so I'm sure Hoy deserves one .

    Cables: best I can afford and likely to change except Homar's RF attenuated co-ax's and Mark Grant USB and HDMI cables. I also like silver i/cs and speaker cable.

    Yeah, sorry Chris, I was just presuming the (possible) inevitability of higher honour, that's what the (?) was trying to indicate .

    Brian - I'm not sure anyone else has the ConnectLitz (interconnects) yet. I know Marco has a set on their way.

    Brian,
    I don't think you need worry on that score - Marco's finding will very closely mirror Martin's but with more details, or I'll run bare-arsed down our street .
    Pictures will not be posted though, in the unlikely event that I'm wrong .
    Cheers,
    Dave.
