Great vid – i went there 3 times in the early mid90’s, a mate from Uni went out there to work as an engineer for a firm that supplies to GM! It was a crazy place with a rich underground scene and some proper no go areas!

the finish on the eriksens is bead blast, kinda matt finish not polished.

is the scotch brite pad treated with anything?

Kent Eriksen[/url]

A Moots variation – my frame built by Kent Erisken(ex Moots). Its changed slightly since the pic, no cateye, steerer cut down and longer stem.

Its a chorus group and deda finishing kit.

The welds and build quality is stunning and it rides really smooth.

Anyone got any tips on cleaning titanium?

Lived in Sydney for past 7 years. Live in freshwater. 20km commute into city every day and trails nearby, you can string a 100km MTB ride together on northern beaches if you know where you’re going. The best trails are a 1-2 hr drive out of Sydney, ourimbah and appin. Trail mecca is Canberra. Great lifestyle but long distance from family can be an issue

Layback post is the standard from Kent – he doesn’t do a straight version.

Cages are Blackburn Chicane

Spacers will be gone at wkend and steerer tube will be cut once im happy with stem / bar set up – still experimenting at the mo, so left spacers to allow for flexibility

It weights 7.2kg. Could go a lot lighter if i had more $$$$$$!!

It goes like poo off a spade!

he thinks ^ a moderator…..

Thanks doctor. Thats good advice on going to North Cahors – can you be any more specific?

Im staying in Tournon D’agenais with the family. the family have been in the area for the last 15 yrs but there not cyclists!

Pilu, Freshwater Beach…..if you happen to be in Manly, Sydney 8)

get an e room you two 🙂

oooh no….this is not a commute bike

i suppose i should have expected a post related to road bikes and aesthetics to have met with much ribbing from STW massive, i’ve been around long enough to know that!

S+M Dirt Bike
Trek Fuel 90 x 2 – both cracked in same place on chain stays

Current ride – Nicolai Helius – bought 2004 and still in excellent condition, totally indestructible

I have battled a huntsman w vacuum cleaner….they move sooo fast, especially when you are chasing at 6am, having woken up to find one in the bedroom!

Its the funnel webs and red backs that you have to watch out for though – they will give a damn nasty bite and trip to the hospital!

like the corporate approach rusty

right …im off to road.cc

you decide how bad the decals are!

@ ap

i didnt buy them for the stickers!

Before using Veet pls read this:

‘bait and swap’ – the art of selling a person in a tender and then offering up a complete numpty once you have secured the project

‘pressure test’ – as in that idea/concept will need to be pressure tested in a workshop environment

I came 8th in the road.

i’m not believing tarquin either 8), i live in Sydney and the weather is perfect for riding, not too hot, dry (surprising given how crap summer was) and not to cold

It will defo be campag and i’m looking at Chorus throughout but i would consider things like a centaur front mech and maybe upgrade to record rear mech. I think the full group is the way to go assuming retailer has the spec (compact crank etc) i want

Or are you using any sort of LED light? I’ve found they can interfere with wireless computers./quote]

Yes, the head unit is mounted quite close to a Lezyne LED front light – it may be this, any suggested fixes? There are not many other options for positioning either the light or the computer anywhere else to move them further away from each other.

+1 for vegemite – living in Aus, i have no choice 8)

The lips on those waves are so heavy it makes me scared just looking at them!

@thisisnotaspoon – i would recommend something between 7ft 6′-8ft. you don’t need a longboard (ie. over 9ft). you do need it to be 3” thick. The extra foam will give you buoyancy, making it easier to paddle and easier to catch waves. The main thing w surfing is wave count, you will never improve if you aren’t catching waves!

Manly, Australia 8)

whats an end o end? Is it another endomondo challenge?

at 40, it seemed to pass me by and i just could not be bothered to get with the FB / twatter program

I moved there in 1991 and left in 2005 to move to sydney – it was awesome; rave culture back in the day was unbeliveable, massive attack and all the associated bands made it a really exciting place to be during the 90’s, skateboard, bmx, graffiti scene is lively, excellent night life, riding from home, quality natural trails in the Mendips, Q’tox, man made stuff with 1-2 hrs drive. Its got everything a big city has in a compact city…..move there!!

Whitsundays, Qld

joined road challenge

BUT….the prize is only adulation of the masses and NO haribo …what’s going on?!!

there is a lorra metal in that bike 😀

Acdcurrent – sorry to disappoint Accacio is not for sale and i live in Sydney on t’other side of world!!

Yep the P+P will be a big factor.

what a knob

$3500 USD for frame + fork

I live in manly. going North:
Stop 1 – Ourimbah Forest Park. Its marked (not like UK trails) but good enough. Its a good blast about 12km loop – do it 2/3 times for good ride.

Stop 2 – Awaba. flowy singletrack but short loop 10ishkm.

Stop 3 – Glenrock, Newcastle – you’ll need to hook up w a bike shop and get them to show you the trails, theres a heap of them and they are good fun

check out the NobMob website – it has trail info / directions etc and you may be able to hook up a ride through them as well.

Dont worry about going in to a shop and asking them to show you around trails sort you out a demo bike or something, the scene is very relaxed and people really accommodating.

Happy trails
