sorry Berny, was talking about Bikeworkx that has the Kona, not B&S or the Edge or whatever it is called.

Reckon the unit is ~1000$.

Oh yeah, the daccordi arrrives today :D

Berny, whats the go with B&S are they gonna keep on the road track? (scuse the pun!)

Boonen = Too good!

not a bad price, no disc brakes, but could be converted to discs easy enough.

Yep, i have a spare set of Hayes now I got the XT dual controls.

you'll ditch the Klein after a week on the Unit anyway :)

Ah just read that the t-mobile womens team are here to race later in Feb. Explains why they were out on Saturdays ride down to waterfall & back.

They sure did stand out in all that pink.

Willy, here's your chance to fit in with the crowd in that pink kit of yours !!! :D

I can see the headlines now: "Womens road team trains with pink Willy"

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Yeah but I really wanted something a wee bit more boutique.

Yep, I'll be in pink flames soon :p

"Team asks, "Where do the batteries go?"" teehee.

Pshaw, have you seen the pink ("Spam") 221s and JOFs?

*edit* Oooh, you know what would be cool? A Spam 221 with silver to hot pink flames, with a purple outline!

And handlerbar streamers

LMAO

So you'll be racing on Sunday then?

Gyprocking & painting from 0700 tomorrow until Monday morning :(

Good luck in the old farts race ;)
Go the CCCC

I've changed me mind: I DO want the Commonwealth Games!! :p

Fairdinkum, we are getting new road services EVERYWHERE, I guess coz the state gov just wants to show off :p

Just Entered the DirtWorks 100. I'll be the dude with the Dirtworks 100 shirt on. :p

Let's see if I can finish this ride.

531, what they've started building new roads now? You lot are worse than Athens. ;)

bloody hell, a DW100 gathering is on ! I can tell my wife we're going off to ride and to meet a few blokes we met on the internet ! :)

She might ban you from going if she hears you'll be meeting up with all us undesirables. ;)

Absolutely. Dean is currently stocking GT and Scott, with Bianchi models to arrive soon. Not sure about track though, I'm trying to talk him into keeping at least one bike there.

Yeah, I keep using B&S. Just seems easier somehow.

Maaaaate... track is on fire this season with almost double the numbers from last year every meet. If your lad had any sense he would establish himself as THE track specialist shop on the coast and maintain it. If he were an entrepreneur he would keep the shop open a little longer on track nite, then accidentally roll up at Adcock Park with catalogues, trick bits, and a good spiel.

Thanks for the advice pshaw... I reckon it'd be a bloody boring way to race as well. There were a few there at the finish that were attacking through the race, them's the guys I want to sit with. Also, not knowing how to train for these races, I reckon doing as many as possible near the front should work.

Anyone got any tips for an uphill TT?
We've got one on tomorrow. 6.8km 5% (average) gradient. It's a pretty popular hill, I've ridden it quite a few times, and I know I'm pretty ****e on it.
The only real plan I have is to go out a bit easier than I usually do and not blow up 3/4 of the way up.

Got a HRM?
