FOR THOSE INTERESTED, HERE'S THE STORY BEHIND IT.
An acquaintance of mine used and loved this bike for several years. He was driving when a car rear-ended him with the bike on the back, jamming the frame into the bike rack. The insurance compensated him 1.5k for the this, which he used to buy an Anthem 29er, that he'd been planning to buy anyway. However, as he didn't need the GF, he gave it to me to use as a spare.
Withdrawn: 20yo Ricardo "Mountain" Bike
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
This bike is older than I am! It's far from light, quite rusty and creaks a bit when riding it, but I rode it 6km to and from Hornsby station many a time last year and never had an issue (it excelled in being a low theft temptation!) I got given a slightly newer model from it so naturally use it for that commuting purpose, but am thinking this bike could be used by the buyer for that purpose. Taken it off road a few times (I.e., the annual BMORC bash), and probably not the best weapon for the Convict 100 (
), but perfectly good for a parent riding with their child.
SRAM Singletrack Mind Series Round 3
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
The SRAM Singletrack Mind Series features five mountain bike endurance events, of 7 or 8 hours duration. They will take you to five different locations in NSW, each one renowned for its flowing singletrack and fun factor.
Awaba MTB Park in the Lower Hunter Valley is a perennial favourite and, as we found last year, pretty tough when the heat is on! It's been the scene for the Series final over the past 2 years but in 2013 we're putting it slap bang in the middle of the Series!
This is the new date for the race that was to be held on 23 June, and postponed due to bad weather.
Kowalski Classic 2013
The Ride Canberra site describes the main forest entrance as being the corner of Kowan Road and Sutton Roads. There is a parking area 5km into the forest along Kowan road with gates that may be locked. Call Canberra Connect (13 22 81) for the combinations or ride from Sutton Road for a warm up.
The Kowalski Classic showcases the masterful work of trailbuilding legends Paul Cole, Alan Anderson and the mysterious Kowalski Brothers. A singletrack marathon like no other, the Full Kowalski will challenge you over a mind bendingly high proportion of flowing singletrack and stout stem biting climbs. The rewards are tantalising traverses, sweet carving descents and a mind bendingly high proportion of singletrack! The Half Kowalski combines the best of both venues for a true test of skill and stamina. Find your flow on the Bird and the Kow.

Withdrawn: 29er wheel set
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
I'm selling the original wheelset from my Bianchi Jab 29.1
Price :- Make me a sensible offer
The rear rim is buckled, I've taken it to a couple of different shops and no-one seems to be able to get it completely true. You may have better luck with your local LBS.
The general condition of the wheels is good, there are a few scratches to be expected with second hand wheels but nothing major.
I'll include the discs and QR axles. The rotors are 180mm front and 160mm rear Magura Storm.
The freehub is in good working order.
