it focusses mainly on Zabel and Aldag (I guess that's why they are in the poster) but still looks good.

MTB right? Rain's not a problem, not riding my bike for 2 weeks will hurt!

I was just at Kennedy's (didn't have any stickers for me bike..bugger!) and he reckons he knows the frame. Dunno if this breaks the internet seller's "code of bollocks", but you could call him on 03 9589 3399

Oi! I'm back from Sydney, and that bit of American soil known as the Consulate. I went to the "American Citizen Services" window and asked for a hot dog, they told me to pharq off. Go figure. Looks like you guys are stuck with me until at least August. Are we making a final decision about the Sunday ride on Saturday night?

Cool. I spent too much today, and I hate Sydney.

boo hoo for you :p

Brian 05-12-05 04:05 AM

It was all train fare, immigration fees, some tucker, and a trip to starbucks. It's not like I went to a bike shop, ok? :D

climbo 05-12-05 04:45 AM

they were probably pretty busy with W being bombed while out riding his bike and all (finally bike content although he was not on a roadie). It is a LONG trip from Newy on the train, it does suck.

Brian 05-12-05 04:50 AM

The best part (next to waking up at 4AM) is that we get to do it again for our interview.

climbo 05-12-05 04:13 PM

well I am almost a new bike owner, not paid for but I got the Kennedy. It's TdF yellow so I can be like Lance on my way to work come July. :)

Brian 05-12-05 04:20 PM

I'll send you some USPS gear...

climbo 05-12-05 04:22 PM

that's old mate, I want Discovery gear now. I'll support them, they have Eco Challenge and all sorts of cool stuff on TV.
