Ouch, that is NICE !!

How do you like the rigid aspect? I found it refreshing although it's hard on your hands and back. It feels good though, you have a lot of control, no fork bobbing or twisting in the rough stuff. I'm a no maintenance kinda rider and was SS for years but out here I can't take all the steep hills on it (Ourimbah killed me first time I rode it), hurts way too much, hence my recent switch, and shifting problems.

Wanna teach me how to climb then? :) Doing Bobbin Head with the lads from Turramurra tonite and tomorrow (gaasp, wheeeze) then Pie in the Sky on Thursday morning. I was doing OK until the boss sed "Heavy gearing, do them twice" :eek:

Nah, just hit reply button for the wrong post. ;)

who's the boss?

that's a lot of riding in 3 days. Good for you, wish I had the time for that amount of riding. I can show you what I know but I'm not much of a teacher... maybe if we do a few rides you may pick up on something but I have no idea what makes me a good climber except that I'm skinny and light and I train on a single speed bike most of the time. I guess that is in line with "heavy gears".

I haven't got much time this week, I have things on most days and nights already. Next week would be OK for something (preferably AM for me), just not Wed, that's Track day. PM me and we can work something out.

Sacco has got me curious: are these tyres exactly the same?

If so, can we really buy them from O.S. for about $38, or is there severe import costs?

Yes and yes. Tyres are dirt cheap O/S.

Although the new import tariff drops migh tchange things slightly.

That's amazing! Cecil Walker have them for 98 bucks!!!

Coach guy out of turramurra cyclery.

Not really (~140-150) coz Bobbin Head is a pretty short ride, but the intensity is getting up there! Intervals and hill sprints begin shortly. Oh the inhumanity....

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM 531Aussie, courtesy of Bike Forums:

The cricket's just started again, and they've just taken the new ball

if you're just getting 5 then the total will be $200. That's well under the amount that they could be bothered chasing up (normally kicks in at ~$500, unless you have a red flag against your name). Freight is usually the killer, but at just over 1kg and small package it shouldn't be more than $25 for 4-10day shipping

Is that place still open?

Gilchrestes is going k-nuts, as usual per

Don't see any "dudes" on the group rides wearing Cecil Walker gear

Shame I can't see it or hear it. Aunty's new streaming audio is down!! Can only watch the score ticking over on cricinfo. :cry:

Anyone interested in my opinion? Ah well........ :p

It's joke that Gilchrist doesn't bat at #6 all the time, and that we don't have 5 bowlers all the time.
We should be exploiting Gilchrist while we have him.

:D

BAC out, Elliott in.


I am Victorian, after all. :D

Cheese Sauce, it's a bloody boundary-fest!! When will they stop? 600? 650?

Gilly: 6...6....4....WOW! hee hee

That'd be ideal, but I think it's all over for him :(

I suggest all you guys get to your "tea rooms"

Gilly's just whacked another 6

he's seeing it like a watermelon. What a player.

Correct.

S Katich can open. Give The Chef some time off to regroup.

Anyone know what Nick Gates' Merckx went for on e-bay??


Had those pure horn Campag Hyperion rims.

What happend to Ponting...is he still going....last I heard he made 150.

You doing to ride tonight....i will probably get home in time, but looks a little wet out there!!
