Ultimate single speed commuter
Saw this on a Melbourne high st last week. Didn't appear to be there for some promotional reason, just a regular commuter - no lights though I see.....
Needs a set of fat tyres and then it'll go anywhere. Forget 29ers, this is the future
Could have been nasty

Could have possible done some serious damage to someone coming down the trail at speed......

Boutique (non main stream) Mountain Bike Brands
Fellow Nobmobbers,
I would appreciate some feedback on the the bike buying process. This is about understanding how mountain bikers think and what they want.
What is your thought/research process when you decide to buy a new MTB:
1) Do you always go with a mainstream brand in Australia, prefer a boutique brand (smaller manufacturer)?
2) What resources/websites do you tend to look at for reviews?
3) To what extent do you factor in who the distributor is and their reputation for quality service?
Pimping Stem Caps
Not sure if anyone else fancies this but i'm purchasing a couple of stem caps from Fast Freddy in the US and you get a discount on shipping multiple items, so if anyone wants to add to the order let me know by PM. Designs are here and you can have any cap in any colour:

Sorry if this is off topic, but I'm just blown away by the latest Google toy... Body Browser:

It's like Google Earth for your body... great for looking into all those aches and pains we have! 
That's a lot of rain!
One of the... erm... 'interesting' things about graphing BOM rainfall is that you can quickly scan through the afternoon's images and find crazy stuff going on like the storm today.
See attached image from just after 8pm this evening. That's a lot of (heavy) rain!
