Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

I found these wheels while browsing ebay for some other stuff. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130164270112&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003 32/40 hole hubs/rims with great provenence. I'm guessing they are 27", in which case singles tyres will be hard t...

You can borrow my old Zullo if you want.

It's a 54 c-c.

It's got older 8 speed campy parts, but should be okay for ya. One day I plan to build it up as a replica of Phil Anderson's bike in his TVM days, but that's another story.

Chris.

Nice...

The more I look at this bike the more I realise what a great find it is. Apart from the Gran Sport groupset, it appears to have the rare 40 hole Gran Sport hubs. These are also quite valuable as well as rare. It's hard to tell, but it also looks like the spoke lacing is 4-cross, which makes for a su...

Would you ride on those coloured tyres? - Not down to the shops... I mean hard? I am curious about these "Tufo" tyres, which appear to be singles that you can install on clincher rimes: http://www.kookiebikes.com/store/product.php?productid=118&cat=17&page=1 Anyone ever see these i...

Also, what actually happened at Circular Quay to cause the damage?

Who shaves their thighs?

Interesting hill profile. Almost a constant gradient the whole way. I could have sworn the profile was the other way round (i.e. getting slightly steeper as the climb continues.) but I suspect that that's just my lack of fitness talking.

When you have half an hour to spare, grab a coffee and read through this. http://yarchive.net/bike/slicks.html Jobst Brandt debunks a whole bunch of myths about bike tyres, and tears strips off the morons that still don't get it. Lots of science, and a great read. You should be able to put together ...

I've only used singles on the track, and then only Vittorias. My personal preference for clinchers would be for high-end Michelins. I run these on my road bikes. I know they'll stick in just about any situation, but I also know how they will handle if they do slide, so my reactions are already pre-p...

It's up to you. I just personally wouldn't ride on coloured tyres.

Both sites had a number of alternative cheap tyres, but the site I suggested had a few more. - Although I've noticed that some are cheaper on your site.

I would be very cautious of a road tyre that makes you ride on the coloured part. Coloured sidewalls are fine, but where the tyre makes contact with the road (or track) you really want as much of that grippy black stuff as possible. Ever think why you never see a cars or motorcycles with coloured ty...

Congratulations on doing the tour. I bet they never told you they'd be taking your photo did they?

Thanks for the ride on Saturday guys. If I'd known those pics were going up the website, I would've sucked my gut in!

The bike I had my eye on fell through, so I'll have a crack at getting my rusty old Saronni up and running, unless anyone knows of a mid size track bike going cheap.

Cheers, Chris

Who needs a tightrope... you can do lots of cool tricks on a fixie.

Hi all. New user, first post... In the words of Ernesto Colnago, "Everyone wants to climb on a 900 gram frameset, but nobody wants to descend on one." Might make that my signature... On that Scott bike, I'm not sure that carbon fibre hoods would be too smart. I'd guess that they'd be next ...
