Whisperer's single speed journey
With all this talk of Single Speeding, I thought I'd share my experience as a 'recent' convert.
I built up a bitsa for commuting, based on an MTB hardtail frame, some tired Crossmax wheels, hayes disks and odd bits I had around the shed. I got a rigid zion fork, for about $70 and that does fine for the road. No need for a lockout! 
Scott 24 hour Race
I am looking to join a three man team for the Scott 24 hour race at Stromlo on the 11th and 12th.
I'm an average mtbr and as part of a 3 man team came 9th at the recent Yellomunde 12 hour.
If there is anyone looking for a rider to join their team let me know.
I recently purchased a Specialized stumpjumper comp to replace my Avanti Montari.

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