Gday my fellow trackies.

After 12 months of deliberation i have finally snagged myself some rollers.
Went the Minorua with those big aluminium drums. Just got it home and havent quite found a place to use em yet. But they feel like they are going to be so sweet!

This weather is driving me nuts and i just cant get motivated , hopefully these will help keep the sword sharp.

The big question is -: Can i convince Gill to have a go!

I got mine from Terry out at Rocky Point Cycles... Although I believe Uncle Al Sumner sells them too. I didnt really shop around for price...went to terry because he supports the track side of things. If you show him your CA licence he will probaly give you 5% off normal retail as well.

If you can afford to go for the aluminium drums rather than the plastic as they ride so much more smoothly and have heaps better bearings..not as good..or loud as Lindsays vintage cinelli...but not bad.
