Best time of the year to buy brand new bike ?
Folks,
I gave myself six months to buy a new bike, hardtail 29er, as light as possible for a 2 grands budget. Don't know yet the brand I want (specialized is my first choice so far) but have you noticed in the past years that there are time of the year where you can't get it wrong, it will be a good deal ? Of course end of financial year but that is too far.. Christmas maybe ? just after ?
Cheers

Menai single track this Sunday
Hi Fellas,
Anyone out there who could give any advise or opinions re: the new single track at Menai/Lucas Heights? i.e difficulty,distance,fun factor,ride ability in wet weather and directions as the directions and google map on NOBMOB seem to keep taking me to some place in Artarmon which I'm sure is incorrect.
I've never rode at Menai and I thought it was off limits nowdays but I've been told it's recently re-opened with new singletrack that's supposed to be quite good so I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Thanks in advance.

Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
PRICE REDUCTION !
Time as come for me to move on my current 2014 Epic Sworks World Cup to make way for my 2015 model that has already arrived !
This bike is only 8 mths old in great condition has been serviced meticulously by Specialized and Cyclery Northside.
This bike is exceptional. One of the lightest, fastest most responsive bikes on the market.
The frame size is a small and is setup race ready ! With race tyres and a few weight saving mods the bike comes in around 9.4kg - which is awesome for a dually.
As the name suggests - this is world cup ready XC race bike !

Withdrawn: Racing Ralph 29er tyres for Sale
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
I am selling the Racing Ralph tyres that came with my 29er that I bought. Nothing is wrong with them, I just prefer a more aggressive tyre to do all mountain riding.
The tyres have been used several times but are in EXCELLENT condition. They are the EVO tubeless ready variety, 2.25mm profile,and made of compound 3. They are a good tyre and sell on the online sites new from $60-$80 per tyre. I will sell them together for a total of $60.
Please contact me on this website or call Lisa on 0414 517 756. Thanks.
The Oaks Creek
Has anyone been up round the Oaks over the last while? Was hoping to get out this weekend but I imagine it's closed and the creek uncrossable with all this rain??
