Shimano USB memory stickShimano were giving out their press pics on these natty 1GB memory sticks. Who wants mine? Be the envy of your cycling buddies with your Shimano branded storage. Maybe. it comes in a little presentation box so you could even give it to a mate as a present and claim it cost you money,
Simply comment on this post and you're in the bag. This compo closes Friday, I guess. The judge's decision is etc and so on. I've taken all the Shimano pics off...

Nice one Dave, I will do it proud.
I try and pretend that my day to day IT work doesn't exist, and instead fill my day with cycling thoughts and musings, this will enable me to add a cycling flavour to the bits where I actually have to do IT stuff....
...for that stick, and as I work in IT I must surely deserve something good to happen to me for a change?!
a coin toss should do the trick
with next years rumoured 1.1GB memory stick?
(and Memory STIck, surely?)
Technically it won't be compatible, sorry - it uses different pitch memory. Although if you try it it'll probably work anyway.
DaSy.
the official road.cc coin toss was performed in front of an indpendent witness
because it looks a whole lot nicer than my cheapy plastic one and will daily be plugged into my mac to remind me i need to clean my derailleurs, Ruthe xxx
We've been holding this one back for a special occasion… no honestly we have, it's way better IMO than the Shimano memory stick, and it's really useful too…
So what about the Fizik spirit level instead!!!!???
(have I given it a big enough sell Dave?)
