Me and a mate are going to bike the South Island next summer. I can't wait. I'll have to pick your brains about good streches you went on.
BTW, touring through Bathurst would be boring as batpiss.
Oh, and R540 wheels aren't bad at all if yer not a prude. They looked after me when I was all but 200 pounds on some of the ****tiest roads you'd think of taking a roadbike on.
