thewashingmachinepost is proud to present a regular column of cycling trivia and cycling on the outer edge. for those who haven't already sussed, the post acquired its moniker after graeme obree, former world 4000m pursuit champion and hour record holder, built his bicycle 'old faithful' out of washing machine parts. there's a section dedicated to britain's and scotland's greatest ever cyclist, robert millar, and a guide to cycling on the island of islay. although the post has no official ties to colnago bicycles, they do tend to feature rather a lot because i own a couple. also the home of vc port wemyss (aka velo club d'ardbeg). enjoy.
