Old bike bits wanted
Hi All,
I have an old hardtail from about 2000 which is missing a front wheel (V-brakes) and fork. I want to use it to put a baby carrier seat on. If anyone has some spare bits lying around gathering dust I would be mighty grateful. The fork can be rigid or an old front shock ... anything will be gratefully accepted. Happy to pay towards it!!

Thanks

Red Hill - Super Ultra Mega Awesome Ride!
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
I've got a "new" bike that needs its first outing. I'm planning on doing the usual Red Hill circuit and adding in anything else that people may find interesting. As the new bike is a little less pedally and an unknown beast, I'll be taking it fairly easy.
New bike, new bike, new bike!!!!! Woooo

NSW lags again
News from SA:
THE State Government is spending an extra $2.7 million on new and upgraded "environmentally friendly" cycling and walking trails.
...
The move is being driven by a "substantial increase" in demand for places to cycle, particularly mountain bikes, in parks and reserves.
... most trails only allow walking.
Mr Weatherill said under the new trails strategy, they would be opened up to cyclists.
Here's a new slogan for our State Government: NSW - being left behind again!
