What about this... Your bikes paint job is getting a little shabby, or you are a poor uni student who wishes to give their bike a splash of colour but are too poor, or are wondering what it would be like to have a fun paint job on your fixie but are worried about it getting damaged or stolen, this ...

No no. I'm fine, just lazy

Get better asap!

What a terrible tragedy.

This looks very tempting!!! Let me get back to you...

Rainbow

I think that you only need one other person who is an experienced tyre changer to stay behind, sometimes 2. This is because there can often be pump dramas. You can regularily have pumps that have never been used on bikes and some just don't get the air in there fast enough. Generally you can catch u...

I'm not sure what to make of that lol Jess! I'm giggling in excitement. The last time I was in Melbourne watching an individual persuit was Simon at the World Cup.

Awesome work, Team DHBC!!!

Hi Jono,

Well done, sounds like a great challenge, and in time restrictions too!

Good to hear you are still racing. Are the Canberra riders friendly? You will have to make a plan to come to a DHBC Crit, to show off your racing skills.

Camera charging, clothes in the washing machine, last day of work, picking up the keys to our friends holiday house in the middle of the forest in South Tasmia this afternoon, SUPER EXCITED!!!

Rainbow

Hello, I am considering buying a wind vest, but would like to try on the sample. It could solve my cycling in the early morning winter issues.

I am off to Tassie tomorrow, but plan to come to slowies, so if the vest were to make an appearance, that would be fab

Rainbow

If I have packed my bags and got a lift for myself to the airport on Saturday, I'll go to slowies. Any excuse for one last coffee ride

Yes, of course!

Hrmmm, I held utensils pre-glue stage, demonstrated how to remove the selofane backing, then fixed this situation on all 3, then added extra glue adhesive to demonstrate just how stuck down it needs to be.

Oh dear! But how will I ever remember another password?

Rainbow

My goodness! I don't think I've met Margo, but we certainly have a common situation... Because of my long legs, I got my frame made custom for me by Peter and Jim Bundy. It will be ready in the next week so I can flash it off to everyone. I will also be at slowies if you want to chat about WSD bikes.

Rainbow

What seems like a bargain can often be wasted money if it doesn't fit the bill... I would recommend you googling "bike fit calculator". When I did this, I learnt so much about myself and realsied what was most comfortable and what my bike-fit limitations were. There really is no compromise...

Rainbow

Ok, I have an idea... I'd love to make this a camping cycling adventure. Simon and I are aware that Huw will be camping on his way down to Tasmania, what if we do a National Parks adventure and make this tour a journey to remember, away from the cities! http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/index.aspx?base=23...

Rainbow

Just to clarify... Simon and I will not be taking any car of any sort, If Simon can't ride, then he won't be driving, and I really dislike driving. If we have the non cycling holiday, we will be bushwalking and relaxing. As Simon mentioned, we are dreaming of a shorter course with more sight seeing ...

Hi Stretch,

Simon and I are also coming. I arrive on the Saturday and will need accommodation for then plus am leaving on Sunday the following weekend so please count me in. I'm not sure when Simon is arriving yet but is leaving with me on Sunday the 21st.

Excellent organising

Rainbow

Hrmm, I'll speak of my own successes then... I got 4th in the motor pace. It was so exciting. I was feeling like I had so much more in my legs when I got going. Very fun. I also remember getting a 5th in something, but as all the days have blurred into one, I can't recall. It was a great night full ...

So if you "borrow" a tube from you boyfriend (or significant other), does the same tube returning rates and penalties apply?

Hey everyone,

A huge thanks to all of you who came along, helped and/or cheered. This was by far the best racing I've ever had at Dunc Gray, EVER!!!

I had such a good time I even missed one of my races. I feel spoilt that we have such a wonderful and supportive team of people.

Just awesome

I've had a thought for next year's flat tyre competition, if the key is to get the least amount of points, then if you lend out tubes then shouldn't you go down half a point? That way the person with the most amount of points gets the wooden spoon?

G, just be careful of posting your belongings during all these public holidays. Australia and alot of other services shut down and may leave you clothes-less and stranded.

It's Purple-licious!!!

When others were racing yesterday and Purple was resting in the middle of the Velodrome, those racing mentioned that purple was blinding them with purple bling!

Purple Power!

Great photos Ian!

Victoria. The Cooks River bike path takes an hour to get there. It would take serious bribery to get me on a bike at that hour. What time would you wake to get ready???

Good luck with that!

Rainbow

What about a bike that's on sale, i.e. 2009 stock and it'll be complete? That way you get a good warranty. There are a few good brands out there that have life-time warranties on their carbon frames too!

Also, because of the economic change, 2010's bikes are cheaper still!!!

Food/bikes for thought.

Rainbow

Really good thinking. Will re-measure again tomorrow.

Rainbow

Oooo, thanks for all your help! I now have lots of ideas. Toff, the tool I used was the first one. If you see the top half of it, you stick it "inside" the space where the seat-post goes. Sad but true, there is no seat-post currently on the bike, but the bmx idea will be worth looking into...

I'm currently building up my fixie for the up-comming Fixie Century.
