Dear all,

I had an email from Leeza who has registered here (check her profile: http://nobmob.com/user/1288).

She writes,

I'll will be in Sydney for 5 weeks over Christmas and January and I am in a mountain biking club called Epic in Ireland.I would really like to get out on the bike and on the trails in Sydney, I can offer a pint of Guinness to anyone who can help:)

Any suggestions? Particularly on where she can hire/beg/borrow a bike from. Come on now, don't be shy! Eye-wink

Rob,

Any idea how big she is (looking at it from the perspective of what size bike will fit her)?

I'm building up a couple of hardtails at the moment (to get rid of some spare 26" and 29" parts), so one may fit.

No idea... I have pointed her at this thread - I expect a greeting and answers to your questions.

Thanks so much for your replys and posts

Im hoping to hire a bike and Robin gave me a place to look at or If I could borrow one that would brilliant too

Hi Leeza, the bike I'm building has a 23" top tube with an 11cm stem. It fits me at a tick over 6ft so it may be a bit of a stretch for you.

I'm waiting on a few parts (due this week) so it should be ready mid next week (assuming I can tune the gears properly).

Let me know what you think?

Hey Paul

The bike I ride here is a small size LaPierre, its a good fit although sometimes I think might be a little small, I could try your bike to see if it fits, It might be on the big size but there is no harm in trying it. Where are you based in sydney?
Thanks

I'll PM you

Hi Leeza,
I'm also 165cm (5.5ft), so my bike would fit you. It's a hard tail and a little on the heavy side, but better than nothing Smiling
My number is on my profile, so feel free to call me. I will be away from 23-27 Dec, but could drop the bike on my way or before.
Cheers
Anke
