G'day all, Currently ride a 2009 epic marathon 26 inch, mavic SLR's, s work cranks the rest stock standard. Been a great bike but looking for an upgrade. Looking at the 2014 epic marathon 29er or epic expert World Cup 29er. I ride in iron stone country around central Victoria doing mainly...

Great looking bike, well done. SF

Cheers Dreggsy, thanks for the heads up. Flyboy01 has sent me in the right direction with Tarp tents. Have spoken a bloke who does adventure racing and is using one, speaks highly about them, quick to put up and his has a mozzie net. This will be my next purchase. SF

G'day flyboy, Thanks for info. What we are chasing is a light weight tent or brivy. So far have been looking at a Black wolf strealth bivy (1.1kg). Cheer SF

G'day flyboy, Great write up, looks fantastic up there. My mates and I are planning a trip camping out (self supported). Any idea on light weight tents. We were inspired by a guy on the Specialized web site (Lone wolf) who rides a track in Canada, camping out over night. Cheers, Silv

Top event Thanks to the event organisers, first time to Bright, great location, really kid friendly, smoking track and DJ played top tunes all day ( must have gone to high school in the 80's). Hope you keep the race transition in caravan park. Back next year.

Yes, first single speed. Thanks for the advice. The plan is to ride the bike in local area and switch rear spockets up or down as required. Brought the frame through local bike shop from the US in July. Been slowly building up bike since then, rockshock REBA forks, American classic single...

Help required Need some help, Building up a 29 er SS using a Stumpjumper frame. Ride single track/ trails around Central Vic. Need some advice on either 36/18 or 34/18 and also the crank length (I'm thinking 175mm). Cheers, The Fox

Nice, very nice.
