Just got the new bicycle vic mag.

They've reviewed two fixies! (Jamis and Specialized)

Does that mean fixies are hitting the main stream?

Thylacine 04-13-06 01:04 AM

Did they complain about them not meeting Australian Standards? :lol: "And this one has no brakes OR reflectors!" Brettles, if we didn't live in this backwater, we'd know they became mainstream back circa when Crumpler bags started showing up on Home and Away.

I have no idea what those egg/albums are. If any of you saw my CD collection, you'd know why.

Wilchemy 04-13-06 01:20 AM

*snort* no. Not when most people when riding to uni are riding kmart mountain bikes.
No hipsters at my university.

Nobody talking about the podium at the Sea Otter Classic?
 
Nobody talking about the podium sweep at the Sea Otter Classic?

Last Sunday in Monterey California, three Aussies took the top spots at the Sea Otter Classic Pro Circuit Race in Monterey California. It's a difficult "National Calendar Race" with 31 laps of a race track for a total of 70 miles and 9300 feet of climbing. Here's the recap video:

Gday fellas, new member here,
thought I should start close to home.
I've been lurking here for a while, enjoying your work and it's time to get involved.
Hope everyone has a good break.

Chookas, Steve

mrkott3r 04-13-06 02:04 AM

heya bbw. Welcome to bf

While we are talking about fg Ive been looking at ebay to see if I can pick up a cheapish fg. For commuting and lookin cool at uni. (although not many people would recognise what it is) Damn ebay is stupidly expensive atm for bike parts track wheels
Yeah they are probably good wheels but $200 bucks for a set of wheels that have been sitting in the shed for at least 6 years, probably closer to 8-10 years. For me that doesnt make sense.

Atm its probably better just to buy a fg from the states and get it shipped out here. Although resale value will be close to zero.

Wilchemy 04-13-06 02:07 AM

G'day Steve. Welcome to the mindless drivel that is TAT PartIV.....and bf in general too
Please note too that on TAT we don't really care if you're "bibs or shorts, "campy or shimano".... etc :D If you need to express your preferences I'm confident there will be a relevant thread started pretty much every 2nd day that will allow you to do so!:rolleyes:

Have a good Easter blokes:beer:

What's with the podium 'swap' bit?

jock 04-13-06 03:24 AM

And a gold star to you twelvelegs :D

Thanks to everyone who played tonight, and congratulations to our winners.

Typo. I make mistakes like that quite often. It's been changed.

Thylacine 04-13-06 06:29 PM

Only eggs I'm interested in are chocolate, and are laid by a chocolate rabbit. And that - my friends - is the story of Jesus.

Over here, the Cadbury bunny that lays those eggs makes chicken sounds on the commercials...

The egg thing predates Christ. It related to the festival of the returning spring season (northern hemisphere). Christians incorporated their stuff into it and effectively ended up polluting the whole concept.

Just thank your lucky stars you don't live in Norway, where easter is celebrated with the reading of murder-mysteries. WTF?

HDTVKSS 04-14-06 02:28 AM

Well HDT went a step closer to having a Mrs HDT today. proposed to the GF ( and more importantly gota yes!0 at Cathryn hill Bay today.

now consider all the $$ i spent on the ring and what a nice bike that could have gotten me ;)

passed a Central Coast Cycle club guy up near the Caltex on the freeway, was that anyone from here?

JFS 04-14-06 03:46 AM

I've been doing it for over 20 years, what do you need to know? Leaves at 6.25am, back to Darlo about 8.50

jock 04-14-06 03:49 AM

Congrats HDT (ya silly bugger!)

If you passed the guy at about 10:30/11:00am then no. I passed a guy in cccc kit about 3km before the Gosford exit at about 11:20 and it looked like Phil Campbell.

All the rest of us were out on the Aust Masters Road Course with some guys Hunter Districts CC up until 11:00am. Bit of an eye opener. Tough course with just enough in it to give the hill climbers a bit of an edge. Sprinters will have to hope that the strong men can tow them along and keep them in touch with the weight weenies.
