    The Green Rocketship

    The -2 makes HEAPS of difference, immediately noticeable. I'm mostly hitting stupid steep and rough trails (ever ridden the Cascade Trails in South Hobart?) and the slacker head angle helps with confidence descending. Took it from 69 to 67 degrees. I'm glad I made the change.

    My little hooligan XC whip.. ....an old Cotic Simple. 26" hoops, Thomson ti bar, Hettly ti post, and a mad Fox Terralogic X 80mm fork. Fun, slightly loose and it is important to remember the fork is basically rigid.

    The Green Rocketship

    Slider Phil's old 'Green Rocketship' lives on in Taswegia where it is regularly thrown down Maydena with reckless abandon. Pikes, Minions, -2 degree headset and big brakes. No longer a weight weenies whip. Sorry to be beating the Solaris to death Phil, ...but it deserves it.

    Kona - steel - experience? And fat roadies??

    Owned a Kona Honky for a few years. Loved it. Rode it shod with 28s on EVERYTHING. Only one reason I flipped it, side pull brakes. Used to get arm pump on steep downhills and in rough terrain. Bought a disk braked roadie to replace it.

    The 'Cycling the Bush' book is pretty out of date. Most of the dirt roads are current or former Forestry Tasmania roads.. they change like the wind, bits added, bits in disrepair. Take a long hard look at LIST Map https://www.thelist.tas.gov.au/app/content/home and eyeball routes on there. Use...
