The most grating pronunciation I think I've heard is Marzocchi as "Mare-zah-chee" - ugh.

There is a little plaque in Mahon park that says it should be pronounced man

like Ed McMahon from the Carson show.

, what's Syncros? I think Sin-cros but some people have said Sine-Cros. :S this thread is quite funny.

Sin-crows. I worked at West Point when Pip ran the store. Pip and Peter started Syncros. We used to listen to a King Sunny Aday(SP?) album called Syncro Systems a lot. I'll bet that's where the name came from. Short for synchronization.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

Moi aussi fella's. Too many good times on that floor to remember.

"Boil" Boy-Ill.

Skin infection caused by dirty shorts, a hairy ass and too much saddle time. The lesser cousin of a carbuncle.

Best solved by draining with a firm pinch of forefinger and thumb followed by application of dilute tea tree oil solution and a solid washing of the shorts.

Measuring cup optional. :licks lips:

King Sunny Aday(SP?)

Correct spelling: King Sunny Ade

Ooh, I like that one Rat, I oughta serve one of them up for the fooofy types down here that wouldn't last a minute without their 2 gallon phag coffees and wi-fi. Right up there with sticking a straw in a washing machine full of nasty salt and ammonia riddled ride clothes to rehydrate one's self.

Bum crack lint optional.

How do you pronounce that again? Oh ya, bumsweat latte
