raced a dirt crit last night and managed a 4th overall for the race 3rd in c grade ( were mixed with 16 kilo bikes). stoked :)

She must have been drunk to say yes. :p

But now I see where I've been going wrong. Thanks for the tip. :D

(BTW. Should have known better than to click that link. Ah geez. Now I'm sacked.)


She's having an affair.

Yep, was hurting from track training mon/tue so just turned up to roll round and inflict pain on others.
Finished with -/2/2/crap 2ktime/-

Funny in the scratch race I put on some pace than could hardly get back on as magus/page/worby were all behind me and continued to wind it up! Lesson, drop in early instead of last in a 12 man strung out field.

In the 3 lap handicap, I gave crafty the nod and blasted the second lap, swung up and we had half a lap on the scratchies. Only prob was crafty and tierney were gone, so i swung back down and chased Cass for 2nd. If I had held on I might have had a chance of the win :(

All in all, good fun, no back pain and looking forward to some training!!

they are all strong, some could be up to A grade soon.

When the guns start putting on their aero bars/carbon wheels and revised gearing for the pursuit... you know you are in trouble!

pppfffftttt - shyeah !

Boys, I'm packing the container mundy, and flying Wednesday. So get your insults in while you can. I won't go back more than 2 pages when I have internet access again.

shouldn't we wait until you become a fully fledged seppo again ?

I'll wait until your in America,
then start my mountain bike jokes!

Just having a little look at your site. How come a roadbike needs mud clearance? That's terrible treatment to give one of your fine works!

knob-head!

He's got some bids on it though. Should get at least $3.07.

Kotter - that Kona we talked about a while ago was an Avanti Kona road bike. Anyone know anything about them?

well the bike loks good.

I think Im off to see Maurice tomorrow to make me up a front wheel with that hub, if the price is right. But if its expensive i think ill find some motivation to build it myself.

After reading the sheldon brown article on wheel building im a little bit overwhelmed

all I know is it's a triathlon bike, or TT bike.

Do you know which rack this is? THey only seem to have one traditional type of rack and it doesn't say anything about whether it'll fit disk equiped bikes or not.

The current Avanti Kona comes as a tri bike with aero tubing, 9sp 105, bull horns/aero bars and Mavic Cosmics (not the carbones.) Back a couple of years the frame was the same as the Giro model, but equipped as a tri bike.

Vanilla middle of the road aluminium (aluminum for Brother Pat) stuff.

Actually this year the Kona is 10sp, last year was 9sp.

This is odd. It's not on their 2006 website, and the Aussie distributor's website is hopeless. I'll try to remember to check at work today. It's my last day there, so hopefully I won't forget. I know it exists, because I bought one.

[edit] Description here,
but still no photo.

Anyone know where to buy Conti Supersonics locally at reasonable prices (~$60)

I had the green Corsa....goddam those frames were rigid. A 7-hour day would do my sacroilliac no favours!

hey Ed, I raced with the mighty Crowe last night, and even held his wheel for a couple of laps. :)

He's a BIG dude: big legs, big arse, big tallness

Thanks Expat. If worst comes ot worst, it seems like a few others make disk compatible racks as well, so I'm not stuck if Topeak don't make them anymore.

I can remember when I first came across him as a junior. They used to call him 'baby Huey'. Then he started kicking everyones arse and it became 'Crowey'. :D

Don't those shoes look nice...

Simon Gerrans

Flanders hard man. Peiper said some good advice to him when young (assume 16ish) was find a training bunch with hard men.

Gerrans is about as tough as they get. Even the shocking outer calf tattoo. Classic
