Cruisers/chopper
Does anyone not think it would be awesome to have one of these really bling cruisers/choppers to cruise around in? Post up yours or the coolest ones you've seen. Does anyone know what the one is that the drunk guy rides in the first scene of STRIPPED?
Harry seems to have ordered the wrong sized frame..
Forgetting that, like Macca's, a U.S. Small is an Aussie MegaHuge, Harry went ahead and ordered his new bike online...DOH!
How far behind the UK is Australia?
This far:
Bannerman High in Baillieston, Scotland just opened a $65K mountain bike track for students to hone their skills on campus.
Whats it worth?
Hi,
I just received a medium 08 Reign 1 frame and shock(RP2)as a warranty replacement on an 06 frame that gave up on me and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea on what it might be worth. Ive had a good look around online but cant find anything out there to guage its value. While I do fit on a medium with a long stem and setback seat I think I might be more comfy on a large so I can shorten up the stem etc. So now I'm thinking that I'll sell the Reign and find something else in large if the $$ difference is acceptable.
Any opinions would be great, thanks.
Cyclo-cross - Who says it isn't a spectator sport?
What does it say about us as a species whereby we obtain such delight in others' misfortunes?

I'm baaaack
To replace the old faithful 04 Stumpy I have picked up (tomorrow) a very nice 07... wait for it....Stumpy!!
Great deal. Owned for a year by a 13yo who cross country raced. Maintained at no expense. Young fella grew out of it...these younguns grow big these days..Think Harry's bike....identical.
Should be very little getting used to it time hey....cant wait to hit the trails.
I'd post a pic but dont know how to insert here.
Attempted Murder?
You're kidding me!
A CARLOAD of hoons deliberately rammed a group of cyclists on the way to the start of yesterday's Around The Bay In A Day ride in Victoria - Australia's largest cycling event.
Ten riders were left cut and bruised on the road as the car sped from the scene.
...
"They yelled out, 'W-----s'. They said, 'Bloody bike riders, we're going to kill you bastards'," he said.
The hooligans drove ahead before approaching from the opposite direction five or 10 minutes later and veering into the path of the riders.
No Recession for Bicycle Makers
Obesity and high oil prices are good news for the world’s biggest bikemaker...
... Giant Manufacturing, the world’s largest bicycle-maker, sold a record 460,000 units last month and is heading for its best year ever...
... Since 2004 wholesale prices of bikes have gone up by 23% in Europe, 45% in America and almost 50% in Asia, even as thousands of low-cost factories in China, including some run by Giant, churn out boatloads of cheap bikes.

Naked Nude Riders Spotted in Hornsby?
Well, not yet. But there might be if Hornsby Council get enough emails to put a case to council to build a XC single track in the area. Please email [email protected] and express your support for a XC track. Details can be found on a forum string under trail advocacy. They currently have a total of 23 emails. There is about a week left to write. Each email carries a lot of weight. I think its the following link to the other forum:
Dam Conditions
Any thoughts on how the conditions might be for a ride tonight?
There was a short but heavy downpour a couple of hours ago in St Leonards however the sun is making an appearance.
Having not ben here for a few weeks I don't know if there has been much water on the tracks recently.
Ta!
