newbie
Hi All,
Just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself. On holidays at the moment so aside from studying I should have plenty of time to go exploring as I´ve only recently been living in NSW.
I like DH and FR on my new Reign X1 (which incidently has just developed a weird gurgling sound from rear brake but still works fine...)
Loving the Reign, seems to cover up any mistakes i make...
Transporting a bike
Can anybody recommend a good courier for transporting a bike from Melbourne to Sydney.
Time is not an issue, but arriving damage free is.

Embarrasing Moments in MTB #2
Yesterday I purchased a pair of Shimano SPD shoes. With the velcro and the ratchet fastener thing up top. They feel a tiny bit tight when standing, but am sure this won't be the case when riding and after a bit of wear. I've previously been wearing Specialized shoes of the softer variety (softer sole, laces, more like a standard trainer) but wanted something stiffer and more hard wearing.
lithgow info
hello, just wondering if the lithgow trails are do-able comfortably in a day from sydney leaving early?, or does it really have to be an overnighter?
cheers, Alex
Bored in Sydney
For all of you who were having fun in Canberra this weekend. Waaaaaa! Stop it, us ill folk in Sydney are soooo jealous.
FWIW, the weekend wasn't completely wasted here, I managed to put some nice header images up top of the pages. You like?
There was also this shot I found in the gallery. Looked like there was a smudge on the lens or something. Managed to clean it up a little:
You can thank me later Blondie 
Tour Gap Jump
We were talking about this the other day, so here you go (linked from Mountain Biking UK - where there's an article about it):
...Due to a last minute brake check to ensure the safety of the riders below, Dave came up slightly short and was bucked by his bike into the rocky tranny...
...Released from the hospital with a partially separated shoulder, sore back, neck, and a severely bruised groin, Dave will recover fully...
Phantom Cycles Coupon
The coupon code in the 'Supporters' section, for Phantom Cycles, 'nobmob' for free shipping isn't working. Is there any other coupons for free shipping?
Cheers.

Anyone lose a combination lock at the dam on Sunday? Made by Basta it has 4 reels
Demo Nine stolen
Red, Large frame 2005 Demo nine ser# PK472042
Stolen from Wollstonecraft last night by 'the pros'.
This proves that you can NEVER be too paranoid folks. I thought this bike was secure. Multiple locks, chained to 2" steel pipe, covered, in a locked garage inside a secure car park.
Got some pics. How do I upload them?
Police have been contacted and will be around soon.
I'll let Avanti dealer know the ser# too.
hope you all have a better day.
Cheers,
