dunno where it is, unless they sell old stock on the internet themselves, maybe it's just someone who has it privately, it is held in Melbourne so it could be at the store. It's a yellow frame, 58cm, maybe it is them.

e-bay (sshhhh!), trying to find out what the tubing is - i sent off a few questions to the seller last night.

ok, I'll delete my post:p

Hmmm, that's an oldish one (it's got the old stickers) that looks familiar

Those frames are on the chunky side, and those forks are VERY heavy

I'm pretty sure it won't be light

So am I.

HA :D

I got talking to a TFM bike shop boy on Beach Rd last night who didn't snob me off!!!!?? :eek:

He was acutally a good bloke :p He's some dude from 'Canadia' who's studying at Deacon

that reminds me....

anyone else here listen to Keeno on "First Off the Bike" on SEN on Sudnay nights? Not too bad.....

Yeah, I've caught bits of it.

I think I heard Allan Peiper a couple of weeks ago

National?

Yeah....he was on in his capacity as a DS at Davitamon-Lotto for the Ronde. They had Dave Macca the other night as an aussie giro stage winner.

Melbourne and Adelaide only, I fink. 1116AM.

"Pieper"?? Try "Peiper":p

Nah, lots of it goes to Adelaide, but I think that's it

Looks like 95% of the Adelaide version comes from Melbourne, including Sundee nights

There's a live internet broadcast for us out-of-towners. What time's Off the Bike on?

Just bought my first set of Vredestein TriComps yesterday........not bad.

They actually measure closer to 22 wide by about 21 deep, and they seem MUCH harder at 100psi than others

8pm, eastern

He doesn't pronounce "Leeej-Basstonn-Leeej" like us Bentleigh bogans:p

more like: "Laysh-Barsto-Laysh"

or the Flemish Luik-Bastonaken-Luik...

Are they the purplish/mauve ones? THE BEST tires Jerry, the best!!

Awesome grip in the wet.

correcto. Guess that's why they got Bicks on for the Morning Glory.....add some local flava for those filthy Saffers.


:D

all red. I was always put off by the $75 price tag, but I got 'em for $55 from me mate at Bicycle Recycle.

Not as good as the Vittoria EVO ks, but they retail for $99

could be red now...it's nearly 10 years since I bought em. Greg Griffiths used to backdoor 'em for me when I was at TFM. About 50 clams each.

Can you buy Paribas in Australia anymore?? JFK had some for a while...

That link to 'Bicksley' is the WORST SOUND ON RADIO EVER since the 1929 Ashes Series....from England!!!

Sounds like he's in a wardrobe with a doona over his head and an 2 Explorer socks over the microphone.

They now come in heaps of colours

I did see some Paribas down there a while ago, but he's now obsessed with "Speeds".
He's got 100s of them

heavy is OK (although it's listed as light weight steel), I am switching from a 531 steel 80's road frame so it can't be much heavier than that. It's more the geometry and size I'm updating. Plus I need 130mm dropouts which my current frame hasn't got. I did ask what it weighted so I'll see what the response is tonight.
