Ok so I should have checked things before I go and order toys but I didn't and now one of you lucky buggers (or maybe beggers) is in for a bargain.

I am sitting here looking at a brand new, still in its box, hell still in its plastic bag in its box, Shimano XTR M970 top swing front derailleur (should have been a conventional swing, DOH)

Anyway its up for grabs at what it cost me and most of you know that will be a bargain.

Hi all,

After surviving Ourimbah on Saturday, would anyone else be interested in some continued technical riding at Red Hill on Sunday? It would be for an early start, say about 8:00 a.m? I will post it if people are interested.

Love to hear some consensus here!!

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any Kona dealers in sydney. Not fussed on how good they are, just shopping around for a potential new bike purchase and will only buy the bike from them but get it serviced at my lbs (lbs doesnt sell Kona).

thanks all

thanks,

It's up near Wisemans Ferry, although you would be driving up to Lower Portland via Windsor most likely. Looks like a nice training ride for 100K events.

Manly Warringah MTB are looking to field a number of teams in the Club Team Relay at the National Championships (http://www.mtbnationals.com.au) in January. Unfortunately while we have quite a few strong Elite riders, more fast old blokes than you can poke a stick at and a number of capable women we find ourselves short a few Junior riders to field a couple of our teams

Hi Everyone,

My names is steve, am as per the suject heading am new to the site, new to syd, and pretty new to mountian biking. Orginally from melbourne and done lots of road biking, however after seeing the narrow roads, and the non existence(inner city at least) of bike lanes, am not taking my life in my own hands when riding out there. Alas, have always been interested in Mountain bikeing, however, dues to the costs of both sports, could only choose one.

hey there folks,can anyone tell me if the dam is currently open?im assum ing its been washed out,but was keen to go somewere localish for a ride late thisarvo,cheers.

Hi Guys, Im new to the site,

I have been invited to go on a ride this Sunday with a few guys at the Mona Vale DH, just past the Bahi Temple and it apparently ends up at a girls high school. Do any of you know this track? Due to wife issues i might not be able to do it this Sunday and it sounds like a good place to start, having not done any Downhill before. So i would be keen to do it with some people who know it.

Might come along for a ride at Manly Dam tomorrow, where I can hopefully meet some of you.

that section of trail, or maybe your sense of smell / taste has been tainted by having 2 horses couped up on your little block of "paradise" for so long that you can niether smell nor taste the hint of horse sh%t in that water, that as Rob quite correctly points out, flows across the land uphill from the rock ledge. Guess what Blondie, that land is a horse paddock, go figure
