This is a bit interesting... how to build a carbon fibre frame. Not sure it's worth it, but interesting all the same.

Hi all,
the Back Injury is "back"!!!
Yesterday afternoon I picked something up and bang she's back. (disc extrusion at L5/S1)
Physio today confirmed my old Back problem, which I had last in August 2006 after the Ourimbah day.
more Physio tomorrow and Saturday and a lot of specific exercises there after.
MTB rides? Not for a few weeks..... I must be fit for my 3 rides I have planed in Germany beginning of October... on the N1!!!
Bloody stupid Back Injury!
Bernd

2007 Giant Trance Advanced (Small)
Price $3,300
Location: Sydney - Will ship within Australia at buyers expense using www.smartsend.com.au (so will probably be around $100)
Item Condition: Excellent - Purchased in Nov/Dec 2007, new chain, cassette, and small and middle chainring and brake pads put on about 400km ago during a service. The bike is in great condition and I have NEVER had a fall on the bike. I weigh about 64kg so am a relatively light rider. Link to the bike on Giant's website http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-AU/...llections...

Hi there,

I'm mainly riding fire tracks on a Giant trance X1 fitted with a rear Fox RP2 shock and I'm thinking upgrading this rear shock with a Fox RP23.
Beside the fact that this operation would lighten my wallet for about $500, I would like to know if I would get a significant benefit from this upgrade.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
Cheers

I'm after the best of every world to get me commuting to work during the nice summer months. I'm travelling bondi to homebush, which is a bit of a treck when i'm not used to riding on road, so i'm after something that will inspire me.

As the title says, I'm not keen on a road bike (too much lycra required), but do want something light and responsive. Rigid probably. I'd like it to be tough enough to take off road.

I'd like the option of going singlespeed, although initially i think i'd go for gears.

I don't want the hassle of building it myself so it'd need to be a full bike.

Anyone keen for this on sunday (28th, this weekend). Does anyone know if any racing is due for that Sunday because this is just purely to scope it out and I wouldnt want to be in the way of racers. If people are keen ill lock in a ride meeting. Either way, the old man and I are gonna go check it out as we've never ridden there before. Im sure the trusty rides section of this site will help us out.

any awaba peeps on here know of the status of the DH course? rideable, chains etc for monday? change of plan from stromlo and want to check out awaba now any info would be appreciated!
cheers!

Sadly I can't make either of the rides on tomorrow (Sat) morning... but might try for a couple laps of the Dam early afternoon.

Any interest? Maybe 1-2pm?

Rarely used, excellent condition, original pads still on, very minor cosmetic scratches.

Please PM me if interested.

Tien.

if anyones interested in hitting stromlo this monday a couple of us are going down, especially to hit the nice blue DH run and check out the new lines from worlds, 1 or 2 people would be great to make the shuttles worthy, will be staying sunday eve and hitting nice and early mon morn, with a possibility of a couple of hours at majura before returning too ..pm me if anyones keen and accomodation can also be arranged if need be..
cheers!

Greetings!!

Was anyone interested in riding some more downhill stuff at Wollongong this Saturady 20th? If so, we will need to figure out the shuttling logistics, as it is not a good place to walk back. Let me know.

BINNED - WILL RIDE RED HILL INSTEAD NOW
