My bike doesn't even rate, just a cheapie Kmart Cyclop 18 speed I bought to get out to the stables easier. Doesn't see much use now I work fulltime in Vic Park and the stables are in Mariginnup.

didn't realise there was so many avid cyclists on these forums

i'm familiar with B4BOY, that's about it - as he's bought a few things from me before.

if any of you guys are in need of parts or new bikes in their entirety - pop in to the bicycle entrepreneur in nedlands and ask for taylor. i occasionally work at the Osborne Park store, so you can catch me there from time to time.

in other news: a fixie i'm about to purchase - an SE bikes PK Ripper Fixed Gear. Only recently have we become a retailer for this specific manufacturer, and they do some wicked bmx's too



also looking at this too: a 29" fixie that they offer - higher headtube, and overall - a more mtb-influenced geometry:



not mine, but my mate's whom works with me - genuine circa 1980's colnago frame/headset/chainring/crank which has been chrome dipped, coupled with a genuine 1980's cinelli stem, campagnolo khamasin wheelset, with the hub being spaced out to accomodate a 13T rear cog, converting it to a single speed.







he's also added some decals and colnago bartape for good measure, and to top it off - a record front brake. see it all in detail here: www.rustychain.com.au - he also does bike servicing and custom fixie builds, too.

Steel frames are nice to ride, definitely not as quick or light as carbon but unless you're riding the Tour who cares? One of my favourite bikes ever was a steel Fondriest i had a couple years ago- still love the classic look of the thinner tubes, etc.
Steel frames are awesome for single speeds

When I say I like "metal" frames, Ally and Scandium are what I like. Carbon is nice but I'm taking a big risk riding one as a "street bike" (I don't always ride on smooth roads!) with how heavy I am.

Why thank you, can't help but love the old girl....but your new one is definately making me feel like one of Pavlov's dogs. Very pretty indeed.

-ajayjay, swap one of mine for two of yours for the weekend, could use a change in the training pattern.

Until a slight setback in December was doing 150-200km per week. Now coming back slowly 60-80km.

Oh BTW, how many out there doing the Freeway asthma ride on 21st March?

One of the guys I train is about to do a charity ride from Albany to Perth with a bunch of other people. I think they do about 200km a day and its his 4th year in a row. Not bad for a 55yr old!
