mong summer dream (now featuring added winter, also spring)

All good!

xp I don't mean that to sound like a blow-off btw. my exams (and ~whole year~) finish next week, after which time I'll be up for drx

no pizza though

pizza must be equal to or better than actual shit

delicious pineapple > coogee bay sundae

does a h-man think k0na is a good brand for bicycling

or is it the behringer of the chain gang

Kona make good Mtn bikes iirc?

The pigs use 'em!

ooh

they have em at the bike shop up the road you see

kona are p. good, big MTB history as s-dogg says, very diverse range all-up

what is budget?

i figger up to a cold thou or thereaboots

gonna be doing lots of kms

want flat-bar? look at the permutations on the 'dew' model. http://www.konaworld.com/platform.cfm?content=commuter

look at giant too, always good on value and they just work - bit like the toyota of the bike world. cross-city for flat-bar, defy for drop bar (i really rate these).

http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=rove - so hott, would ride dis - prob out of yr range but.

yeah i'm more after a little phatty than a minimoog if u get me

the dew is indeed the one i am eyeing off

try for dew plus if they have one - disc brakes are good on a commuter, less mess for starters

better stopping if u get caught in the rain

while drinking a pina colada

but yes good advice

hairy howhard and edwina from the NDE filling in on the triple r literary show today

cool

when does pones shut it's doors - feel like i should make at least one last visit

dec 1 or thereaboots

although i do think i've given a little too much of my life to it already

Everyone should take a wizz in there before they go. Place always smelled like a gents as it was.

i could make some unfortunate admissions but should probably wait til they've gutted the place

unfortunate emissions, morelike

approx

So it was YOU

Pretty sure it was everyone.

^^

love that m+n article where s1m0n reckons the most disgusting thing he ever saw there was a band playing barefoot

hawwwwww

it was alarming to realise the first CL gig was there :/

So, didja hear the one about the Richmond pub who thought it'd be HILARE to have a "comedy debate" night entitled "There's nothing funny about rape"? With a rapey 50s image of a guy yelling/wrestliong a woman?

So, its a comedy debate? And one side're gonna argue there IS funny shit about rape. And oh look - theyre all guys.

Nice one, Station 59. Nice one.

Also one of the guys one the negative "sure rape jokes are great" side is THE MOST crepey fucker I have EVER met on OKC. No suprises there.

got new bike iirc

soz h-man i couldn't wait!! got the dr.d3w '13

I shd prob do that too. Maybe just an exerxise bike'll do for now. I'm too scared of being sideswiped on the road :(

i don't really plan on being on the road much, trails for me

i'm thinking there must be a way to rain on the rape debate's parade.

thort it looked like the '13 in that blue

trayce you gotta get the outside bike!! for real i have tried with indoor trainer and there's just no motivation

rape debate stuff is ugh, not sure i'm clever enough to skewer it without getting abusive tbh

i had to get the 13 cause it just felt so much nicer than the 12. also they had it in my size

the bike that fits is usually the best

trayce you gotta get the outside bike!! for real i have tried with indoor trainer and there's just no motivation

I hear ya. but I'm the opposite! with a bike proper, I'd come up with every escuse known to man not to go for a ride (its too hot/too cold/too wet/too much traffic). At least a stationary is there, and I have no excuses at all (last time i hired one i did actually use it erry day)

until it gets covered in towels and bras and becomes a defacto drying rack :)

Which is why I rent one, rather than buy one hehe :D

lol

TBH I have thought about getting a mounto bikington so I can go on rides with J, but hes way way fitter than I am and can do the steep bits of merri trail and shiz and i'd just die.

those bits take some practice

I guess I could just ride around AP lake, its all flat.

my old practice run was basically from moonee ponds to abbotsford on the CCT
