cyclocross bike
Hey everyone,
l have a steel road frame hanging around and was just thinking about making a cyclocross bike.
What l want to know is, could l take it on many of the trials around Sydney?
And, would it be good to take on the easier trials at Stromlo?
weight - time differences
Funny question but what is the general consensus regarding weight and time. My argument is that my particular bike is 4Kg's heavier than the next bike down in the group I ride with. What I try to maintain is that I must be a lot fitter than them as I can just about keep up with them (they hang back for me) and if I had a bike that weighed the same as theirs, then I should at least be able to ride 'with' them rather than behind.
So - 4kgs weight diffference - what would that equate to round Manly Dam? 2 mins,5?

CRC order - need anything?
I'm placing a CRC order to get some CB Mallets over the next few days.
CRC also has a sale on other items as well...
Let me know ASAP if you need anything.
(Still have $ 230 to go before free postage kicks in)

Getting into endurance races ...
Hi all, quite new to the whole mtb thing this time around although I used to ride a bit many years ago.
So anyway I'm getting right into it again and reading about these endurance events I am really interested in maybe giving one or two a bash. Would love to hear any thoughts, experiences etc around preparation, training, the level of skill and fitness required, and smart ways to work up to these events.
Cheers,
Pete

Copenhagen city bike share competition
Check this out:
Copenhagen is a unique, world-class cycling city and this fact should be reflected in the city’s bike share system. Our city is the best example of how the bicycle can become the preferred form of transport in a modern city. An attractive and modern bike share system can contribute to strengthening Copenhagen’s bicycle culture. Therefore The City of Copenhagen is pleased to launch an open design competition in order to determine how a bike share system v. 3.0 would look and work in the city in the future.
