Hey guys,
Im doing the Sydney to W-gong ride this year, problem is I doubt ill be able to do the 90 k's on my DH bike, looking for a bike that can handle doing some XC stuff but able to get me through the sydney to gong ride as well.
I am thinking about a giant talon (yukon) or a GT avalanche expert, any suggestions? I have about $1000 to spend (So long as the wife doesnt find out LOL)

The GT Avalanche Expert consitantly rates highly by the mags that review. I would take it over the talon.

haha,its not a bad extension is it,did u find the latest detour with all the old bike race numbers stuck up on the fence ?it was very fresh when I rode it on Monday.

Feel free to add your own race numbers : )


oops.. sorry for the double post

I saw a guy last year on a DH bike. I rode past him somewhere around Thirroul and my immediate thought was WTF!!!!!

What ever bike you end up with make sure you put thin tyres on it.

Thanks mate lol,
Yeah im tossing up between getting a cheap dirt jumper or a Talon (as my budget just got cut in half! damn car rego!) and chucking some slicks on it for the ride then swapping it back to the knobby's. I think I can push the budget to about 850 bucks but that abut it F**K my life!

But did you do the rest of the track after the hair pin?? Don't know how a XTC 29'r will go doing that stuff
Glad you like the track though. More work to come on it soon. Bigger is better

I think you're refering to this:

I built it in 2008 and pulled it down last December. It was where the ski jump to twin doubles are now. Was fun to ride too.

That is where the big double after the lil shore drop is on S&L now.

I did it on a hardtail just after it was first built. Tried it on my Dualy at the start of the year, and couldn't do it. Too heavy

anyone riding on Saturday morning?? ZGettting out early for a few hours

 

[adtee23]

very sandy out there today (when isn it) i guess... due to recent weather rain wind etc three of the signs were down and blown off course today which ive collected (diesel n dust, magic carpet, and road gap) and ive put them in the garbage bag if someone wants them back? but they were all ripped where they were nailed up and one was filled with sand and water like a balloon....

maybe wooden ones next time or sprayed stencils on metal would be more durable???

Well your a...erm..."street artist" shall we say. Maybe get a bit of a graf going for a few signs? Maybe need to 'borrow' a few for sale signs for the corflute. Some drunken antics may be in need. But that would be irresponsible now wouldnt it.

Spoken like a true Campbelltown boy
Some more signs like the wooden one on Snakes & Ladders would be good. "Hint, Hint" to whoever made that one.
