jobs abound in here, just got myself a new one. For me = less travel time, more riding time !!

Congrats...

I thought it was "man, it pours, menopause"

Congrats as well... Only 4 weeks left at this one then I go on my big adventure OS and try my luck over there. I am excited. Will be good to do some touring while over in Europe as well I think.

No they were ok. I've since fitted a modern set of tri bars and I'm using the bike for TT's. The bike is under 10kg which while not light by today's standards is good enough what I need at present. Mind you I bought an almost new 10sp veloce Orbea off Ebay, carbon forks and seatstays and found it was over 10k!!!
Yep Concor Light, best seat I've ever owned.

Southern California, home of the hottest non-Aussie wimmin around. Geez.

Guilty as charged. I'm an export.

Nice one Climbo, hope you're not pawning bikes and eating spam to finance the job on the coast
Might have to seriously start looking myself!

Work is very over-rated. Trust me.

Anyone who sells their life for Freekin money aint right in the noggin.

531 - Sorry to have missed your antipuking tip. Today's ride was a nice warmup then follow the undulating road. Sprints start 30m before the top of each little climb. Nasty.

Climbo - well done on scoring a local job. Your missus will be so happy until she finds out that you're simply substituting bike riding for commuting Oh yeah, and thanks for the derby info.

Berny - I am deeply saddened to hear that you like your Concor. I was going to make you an offer for they are a brilliant bit of gear.

I have an Ultegra crankset and BB on the way. I shall use them as paperweights due to lack of interest.

Oh I'm definitely interested Expat, but I doubt very much whether my wallet can meet with your expectations

Does that mean you think I'll have a high asking price, or just that you have more important financial obligations?

well there's this guy that I owe $50 bucks for a lighting system, then there's this other guy that I owe $1800 for some bike I bought, then there's the track bike fund, oh yeah... and the wife wants a house

Mine wants a house too. Funny that. When the cranks arrive, I'll give you first shot at setting your own price. I'm still a newlywed, so I gotta go now. Email next time you're in town for a ride.

Sorry muncher. They're a tad heavy is all but oh so comfy.

You bet your biscuits they are. After enduring my current saddle for six months in the hope that it will conform to my butt I'm going to have to do a Concor transplant on my training bike. The old bennett just won't looke the same without it.

Is it just me or so modern saddles make the old hard leather arse-busters feel like a hemmoroid pillow by comparison?

I have an Italia TT flight on my RR bike and it's pretty (165gms) good but a tad wide and hurts early on in a ride until I settle in. I got a Fiz'ik Aerone with my new GT and it has seams down the middle which annoy the crap out of me. I've got a bunch of other seats I've collected over the years but they're all rubbish. No the old Concor beats the ***** out of all the newer ones.

yeah, trading in kidneys from Asia might be the way to go instead

We've had good luck with Body Geometry, but they may not be expensive enough for you skinny tire types.

anyone going to Calga Saturday at 2pm? I'll be there but not racing.

That's the plan so far for me, but my wife might have other ideas this weekend.

I already have a green light for the CD race at Muswellbrook next weekend, so I spose I'd better buy my fluro orange getup.

Got it.

You learn something every day.

Oh yeah. That day I saw a big guy going the other way on what I thought was a Scapin (turned out to be a Scattante, or whatever they're called), so a chased after him.

I catch him and say: "Ed"
he goes, "yeah"
I go, "what? Are you Ed?"
He goes: "yeah, but I'm guessing not the Ed you think I am"
Then he starts laughing, then I start laughing, then I piss off.

ROFLMAO. I hate when that happens
