More SB-66 love... Just added Easton Haven 70mm stem and replaced the front Racing Ralph with a Nobby Nic. Set them up tubeless last night.. Now sub 13kg. :)

Bike porn John... Wish I'd had your patience to wait for the white, but I wouldn't give up my black StealthBike-66 for anything... (OT, what is your location: south hobbit?)

Planning a tubeless conversion that might get it under 13kg and the new XTR shadow plus RD which would certainly put it into the 12kg range. And all for naught when my 95kgs of lard gets on the saddle.. :der:

My new toy... Full 2012 XT 2x10 DT Swiss wheels Thompson Elite post and stem Easton Haven carbon bars 13.01kg including XT trail pedals Picked up on Friday and loving it..

Very jealous... Put in my SB-66 order about 8 weeks ago now.. Hopefully it should be here early Nov.. Black with XT 2x10 trail build. Can't wait.. A big step up from my Giant Trance X1, I'm sure, and will be more suited to the current rocky, eroded Mt Stromlo trails with it's extra inch of...

There's potential around the McDonnell Range either side of Alice Springs...

Bueller??..... Bueller???.... I take it that's a no? :confused:

Ended up getting the Nevegal from Lonsdale St. Will try it out tomorrow afternoon at Stromlo with the Larsen on the back.

I'm fast coming around to your way of thinking after leaving plenty of skin on Stromlo last Thursday on a firm looking corner on the back side of the hill that quickly turned soft and threw me off. Larsens f+r until tomorrow when I go hunting for an Ignitor. If I can find them anywhere that is...

Ha. Mine was supposed to be delivered week 45 last year, and was delayed 3 weeks due to the same mysterious "anodising problems". I'm having a hard time believing that hasn't been sorted out by now...

Anyone seen/heard anything about Pivot cycles and if/when/where they'll be available down here... Already started looking into my next frame and the Mach 5 is looking hot. Founder of Titus teamed up with the DW link dude... http://www.speedgoat.com/blog.asp?p=1083...

I spotted Sam walking the track yesterday with someone that had Atkinson written on the back of his shirt (presumably to help with the "what's your name" question during diagnosis of concussion) when I was marshalling for the DH practice. He didn't ride in yesterdays practice tho.

My Trance X1. Got it late November. Good bike.

Thanks for the info Astro... As I live out in Gordon/Banks, Tugg Pines is a handy location for a 60-90min ride after work during the week. It's just a shame there's so much rubbish and the trails have become a bit run down and don't flow together as well as they could, as you mentioned...

Just wondering what's the story with Tugg Pines... I've started riding out there in the last couple of weeks and am quite amazed at the shocking condition the area is in, especially compared to places like Majura and Sparrow Hill. What is the CORC view of Tugg Pines? Is it still used or are...
