That is very, very cool. I can imagine in the future you'd be able to just 'virtually' walk through, click on something you like and buy it. You can probably do that now somewhere... I give Google a year to make this happen. It shouldn't take much to tie Google Shopping into their "Street view...

Re: Planet X (UK) order mistake

I bought myself a Stronglight Track crankset from Planet X in the UK.
And I was just about to offer you the ones I have on the wreck. They look to be either octalink or ISIS drive. They have also been run over by a bus and needed a new chainring (the existing one being a little worn).

Re: A new challenge to all those DHBC climbers

Just wondered if anyone else had noticed the two gentleman who 'everested' the hill beside Taronga Zoo yesterday?

They climbed it 100 times over 14 hours.

You can see photos on Instagram under @stravacycling and @hells500.

Re: Need parts - Building up a track bike

I may have some cranks you might be interested in. I need to hear back from STA insurance before I give anything away. Also may need to get the assessed to determine their condition post-wreck. They would be square taper and would probably need a new chain ring (its a bit worn, 48 teeth). Not sure o...
