I'm pretty sure the bunch was Randwick. I remember laying eyes on two easts riders but i think they were behind. It was a pretty big RB bunch, 20-30 strong & your probably right about thinking they weren't A graders because i didn't see any. But then most of Randwicks A graders ride for FRF- NSW...

It was pretty chaotic, I think over the years that has been one of the black spots of the course, that and the last section of the mad mile before the sprint line. You just never know what's going to be on the road at those two points & there is always punctures. But at the end of the day the re...

That's an absolute classic, T-bone you could add your bike to the couch, wear your knicks to bed and you could get up half an hour later whilst someone rides you to waterfall!

53/12 is a mammoth gear but it depends what terrain your on. For example the down hill run into the mad mile at sutho, if it was a real race you would want a pretty serious gear. 51/14 would be no where competitive. Of course heffron is a different kettle of fish & it would be good there, but yo...

If the logo on the new batch of Jerseys changes from the current Jersey then the current one may as well go in the Bin as it won't able to be raced if the new batch is registered. So essentially the design can't change...

They want an extra $250 for the Ultegra cranks, which i'm thinking is not really worth the money. I would feel too much like i'm chucking away a perfectly good brand new set of cranks for no reason. I had a closer inspection of the FSA's and they actually don't look too bad. besides if i was to upgr...

I went out and bought the Cervelo. It's a very nice frame, I had a look at the BH's & they look pretty average to me. I mean for the money i wanted to spend, it was either better frame or better groupset & I think the better frame is more important or so i decided. I'm still a bit confused a...

Hey James, i thought you looked a bit too upright last night and i think you can see it on the video too. You look higher than everyone else. You need to get a stem that drops more or it could be the lack of track bars too. But you would definitely gain a bit of speed and look abit more classy!

I'm definitely interested in the cervelo, I don't need a bike before the sydney road titles though it would be nice. Do you think they would swap the carbon cranks for the standard Ultegra? Carbon cranks don't appeal to me all that much, unless they're campy...

Hey Guys, With the Sydney road titles and more for the grafton later this year I'm starting to think it's time to get a new road bike. I don't particularly want to spend over $4000, simply because i don't think i will be riding much more than I'll be racing it. I'm kind of thinking between Giant, Sc...
