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.

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

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?

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...

SuperGo = USD92.00
PricePoint = USD77.00
That would be about AUD150 after shipping and mandatory middlemen cuts

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.

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!

It's only a recovery ride (slow pace for an hour and a bit), so you could get by with a cup of OJ.If I see you at mobil at 5:45 good, if not no problem.
