Makes for interesting reading. But no-one would be silly enough to trust sensitive info to a free public email service provider would they? :eek:

Cycling Australia has revised its anti-doping policy. Three main areas:

Athletes who are selected for a Registered Testing Pool ... are individually responsible for the provision of accurate whereabouts information (ie. you have to watch yourself and record your movements!)

Athletes who have a documented medical condition requiring the use of a prohibited substance or a prohibited method must first obtain a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) prior to participation in an event ... at least 21 days in the case of an international event.

The procedure for a TUE also applies to Asthma medications and these must now be renewed every twelve months. INSULIN now requires a (TUE)

Hey 531, wanna Presonus stereo compressor or Alesis Microverb? Going cheap on Ebay tonite, 3 day auction. Bid like a lunatic :D

Good news! The lighthouse is still there. Just made a quick trip out there on the bitsa. Fast, smooth, and eerily quiet. I need a longer seatpost, and a longer stem with a bit of rise (no Viagra jokes, please) asit's a bit cramped, but all in all, did the job better than expected. I'll swap the parts tomorrow, and then it's done. For this week.

Went to the LBS too. What a waste of time. Asked about parts for the Headshok, they have to call Cannondale in the US. Yeah, can you do that for me, and here, take my Amex Gold too, ok? They suck.

ROFLMAO. I'm so glad: I have plans of converting my bike into an aqua bike. That way I can cruise up the coast with no hills :D

Oh yeah, and well done getting the crate mended!

no thanks -- I've already got a Quadraverb, which isn't very good, but it midis easily with my preamp.

I stopped spending money on that kinda stuff years ago.

What happened to Hitchy buying that Cervelo?

We got any details yet? You sure about 5:00am? :eek:

Couldn't get it small enough to post here and still be legible, so I emailed it to you.

You mean you want me to skip my sleep in? OK 4:00 it is then :D

Damn I'm being a bit flexible this week. First climbo, now yourself. Fine bunch of sleepyheads. :p

The course is simple enough (same as the Saturday Coffee Run climbo). Out to Ettalong via Blackwall and Booker Bay Rds, along the Esplanade to Umina, then back to Woy Woy via Ocean Beach Rd. From there climbo will prolly jump on a train (if he comes along), I'll wander back to Gosford.

If climbo's coming I'll meet him at the mobil service station in east gosford at 5:45am and we'll head over to Brisbane Water Dr. Where's the best place to catch up with you?

Get a mountain bike, sleep in...

Hey Baron Von Munchie, what's a Dura-Ace 10 front derailleur (double) worth these days?

Oi Lads,

Do a bloke a favour & bid on this for me....i've got 2 bidders & 25 watching......I want $90 for it min....so if you could help out...i won't hold ya to it. If I won't recognize your ebay name, drop me a Pm just confirming, so i don't give ya grief about non payment...ta muchly

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....e=STRK:MESE:IT

Hitchy

What are you on about? It's over $90 already.

thank you XXXX!......this guy has gazumped you already!...fancy another $5?.....I don't wanna lose him though!

Hitchy

Wasn't me, don't know what you're talking about. You may want to edit that post, delete all evidence of whoever helped you out...

How in Fark's name would I know? I can't afford to think about top shelf stuff, let alone actual go looking up prices. And besides, there's a large difference between what it's worth and what you can actually get one for :D

You got upgrade plans for the crate already?

Nope, there's a 3 pak on ebay. Gotta know what to bid.

Oh yeah, and be careful it could be a braize on type. Most el cheapo bikes use clamp on.

what the fark is a '3 pak'?

Hitchy

Find the best price you can for one and that's your maximum for 3pak I would guess, especially if you want to make any money on the deal.

SuperGo = USD92.00
PricePoint = USD77.00

That would be about AUD150 after shipping and mandatory middlemen cuts

The seller has 3 for sale. I prefer to buy in bulk, saves shipping.

I just put up an item with a starting bid of $90, and some tool comes in an hour later with the exact same item starting price $40. I hate that. Oh well, I'm not backin down.

I guess I'm just cheap. I start mine at .99, or $10 if I'm not sure what they're worth. The Dura-Ace are 31.8 clamps, and dealer cost is about $48. I'll bid up to $30 each.

If I'm not at east gosford Mobil 1 waiting... I'm still sleeping.
For the newbie, how do you get any fuel into the body at that time in the morning? Breakfast at 0500 is not an option! I'll be puking by west gosford!

I'm knackered. Headin to bed. If you see climbo can you point him in the direction of post #5405 (above).

Goodnight ladies
