Hey there. PM sent…

Maxxis Overdrive 700x38c Tyres x 4 Melbourne Price range/Willing to Pay: ??? Extra Info: Looking to get 4 tyres all up, at least two to be without the reflective strip if possible. I bought some once from a bike shop out King Lake direction. Can't remember the name, or town. Good little...

I'm going to Buller for the first time this weekend :D Never ridden downhill before. Looking forward to it!

…or this Kona Unit?

Sorry to hear mate. The more I read of bike thefts the more I want to take it out on the prick who stole mine. Best of luck mate.

Hey all. Thanks for your help. Yes, I had a kryptonite lock (12mm cable) which they simply cut with bolt cutters (I guess). I'll give it about a month before I start looking for a replacement bike, or build. I had some 29" custom wheels on order for it, luckily they hadn't come in yet. The...

My girlfriend also wanted to get into riding (footpaths + fireroads etc). We (I) did extensive research online and we narrowed it down to two bikes. She was in love with one in particular, but when we tested it out it just didn't work/fit/feel right. The guy at Goldcross Cycles (big chain) in...

Hey man, yeah I ride it everywhere! (including work, so I guess I'm not stupid?!? - heh). It's taken over from my Haro Escape 8.3 (I got the gunmetal grey colour, not orange/black). The Kona is half the weight, plus single-speed is twice the fun. Cheers

Hey all. @ bob_jane: 'cos that was the US site (at least I think it was) and I'd have to pay for shipping. @ swanny: Cheers. Will give you a hoy during the week and pop round on the weekend? Are you anywhere near the new eastlink tunnel thingo? Will be down there on sunday for the 30km...

Hey all. (Apologies for posting here, my trader request is still pending.) I'm trying to locate a bike store in Melbourne/Victoria that sells a Maxxis Over Drive commuter tyre *WITH* the reflective strip. I've inquired at my LBS (abottsford cycles), Goldcoss, CBD cycles, BSC Bikes, and a few...

Hey all. Here is my bike, which I bought second-hand about a year ago for $750 (!!!). There's been much upgraded from stock, not by me though, so this is more or less the way I picked it up. Only things I've changed are the tyres, new Blackspire Chainring, and new SRAM chain. The bike is...

My Kona Unit Hey all, here is my non-fixed single speed (scroll to the bottom of the page) Enjoyed looking at all your bikes, cheers!

Kona Unit 2006 Hey all. Here is my bike, which I bought second-hand about a year ago for $750 (!!!). There's been much upgraded from stock, not by me though, so this is more or less the way I picked it up. Only things I've changed are the tyres, new Blackspire Chainring, and new SRAM chain...

They didn't mention that to me, however, they didn't have a single speed specific rear wheel already made — so I had to order a custom on the back. The rep did apologise for not having the Latitude wheel in a disc compatible build.

Quick Update #3: Surly Quick Release rear hub is a three-week wait. *sigh*

Quick update #2: Turns out that the Latitude wheels aren't disc compatible, so the order was switched to the Orbits - $560. Turns out the orbits aren't specifically built for single speeds (have room for 9-speed cogs), so I put a stop to that as I've seen a couple of SS conversions and...

Quick update: My LBS dismantled, lubed, and reassembled my bike today, installed a new Blackspire 42t chainring and a new SRAM PC-7x chain, (as well as made a couple of cosmetic adjustments). They assure me the 29er wheels will fit on my bike no probs, so I ordered the Latitude disc wheel...

Yes, I'd take it easy until I felt comfortable enough to sideswipe taxis again. Bike being fully serviced on monday. Ordering (or not) of wheels to follow directly afterwards. Will let you all know how I get along, and post some pics if it goes ahead. (also post pics if it doesn't go ahead as...

Thanks again. You guys/gals are champions :)
