They played well i had a bet on them when they are 0-1 down 16-1 wahooo . when they equalised they were still way too much money at 9-2 . They out played Belgium fair and square and the better side won.

Re: 400kmph

I would give it a go( not on a bridge though).

Re: Seamless gearbox on a road bike?

@Cav - They were £164 delivered from Blackcircles. I'll be getting a bloke down the road to fit and balance them.
