I had my 2006 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp stolen from Narrabeen this week. It is pretty distinct - it is the US model, so was blue with this colour not being sold in Australia.

If anyone sees it around, please let me know. While it is insured, this pisses me off!!

Hi everyone.
Bit of advice needed.

Does anyone have an recommendations or ideas as to who would be the best to use?
Could I just use aus post?
The bike will be boxed as if new.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Manly Dam, How is it? havent been since all the rain.

Greetings all from the east coast of the United States!
Justin (not sure what his username here is) directed me to this website some time ago and I was hoping you all could give me a hand in picking out a GPS.

So any of our Canberra brothers keen for a ride Thursday/Friday or Sat THIS week?

I'm down for work and planning on bringing my bike for some fun when the work day is done....or prior...what ever works!

Happy to ride any of the trails really.

What’s the going rate for insuring a $5,000 bike, per year? My current insurer has just quoted $375.

Also, any recommendation for a quote?

Having read the previous threads on Asylum's quest for a Trance, unfortunately I'm going to have to raise it again.

Been riding about a year now with practice rides around the Dam and more recently, Ourimbah, Appin and Yellomundie.
So a love for single tracks with a thing for smashing through downhill sections at speed, is what we ride.

Now we have the three of us wanting to upgrade to a duallie after been riding hardtail Avanti and Apollo's all this time.

Demo'd a Cannondale Rize with the Lefty and other than the issues with the gear shifts, it was a sweeeet ride.

Hello,
I'm new to the area but have been riding Manly Dam weekly now for the last 2 months and starting to get bored with it. Wondering if there are any similar trails around the area (up to an hour away from Sydney) that compare to Manly Dam? I'm not a big fan of fire roads but love single tracks. Looking for any trails that are about the same or more technical than Manly Dam? I tried searching but didn't really come up with much. Any advice on some new trails I could check out would be appreciated. And if it's a confusing trail, meeting up and having someone show me the trail would rock.

Hi All

Thought I would post a intro really, I was directed here by a poster on Rotorburn/Farkin as racing isnt really my scence and more looking to get into the socil side of things with a decent group of people.

I arrived from Bristol in November 06 and used to ride all the time at home, but it has taken me some time to get myself sorted and settled out here.

I am going to be purchasing a full sus bike in 2-3 weeks as I am recovering from a back surgery and my hardtail is coming back from the UK in September when I go over there.

G'day,

Planning to do ride on Sunday, kick off time 9am for 3/4 hours. Anyone interested in joining in?

I'm open to suggestions as to where? Only limitation is I have to exclude Ourimbah as I have to be in Campbelltown in the afternoon.

Hi guys
me and a mate are doing a 6 day mtb ride coast to coast across Scotland in 5 weeks - 60-70km with 1000-1200m ascent per day. (5 hours on sat on the west head trails in torrential rain was probably great training !!)
I need a good mtb rucksack which is 25L-30L large to carry spares/gear and spare clothing (hopefully carrying only 7-8kg plus water bladder each). (we are staying in guest houses and hostels en route). I have done some preliminary research and possibles are Deuter Transalpine Alpine 30L ; DhB Elsted 30L
Just wondering whether anybody had any good suggestions
Cheers
