Oscar proudly displaying his new wheels. Cheers to Greg Ryan (twe) for some very impressive work.
yep, taken with phone camera with horrible sharp backlighting throwing shadows all over the background, battery hanging from top tube, saddle bag on and cranks and valve stems disregarding the rules; but i don't really care.

Make sure you will not forget to share us the group ride picture, lol.

Haha. I'd love to see footage from a gopro attached under the handle bars. Nice close up of cassettes and rear derailleurs

Here is mine with stem slammed!

Looks great!... very red!

My 'old' Malvern Star Oppy A5 purchased as my first road bike (since high school a long time ago, anyway) in November 2011. At first, I upgraded a few things, then I stripped it to use parts to build my 'new bike', then I reconstituted the A5 using the original parts after upgraditis on the new bike go the better of me. This is basically the same as when I bought it, except for black Fizik tape instead of the crappy red faux-cork on their originally.

The other thing is that these bars were originally installed wrong. The LBS (I assume) set them up with the section between the tops and the hoods flat. That made the reach enormous, and the drops unusable as they were almost vertical. At the time, I didn't know any better, and thought I needed to replace the bars. This way is much better.

The stem is deliberately in the high position as I plan to use this as a semi-regular commuter and having the tops high is comfy, but the hoods and the drops are still consistent with my main bike. I might get some cross levers to finish it off.

This is my 'new' main bike. My first carbon bike. Self-built from a Hongfu carbon FM066SL frame. Light and quick. This taught me everything I know about building bikes. (Not everything, by any stretch, but more than enough to avoid the need to take my bike to the LBS for ordinary servicing.)

what the hell is that? is that "chain man" in the background?

'Mike Turtur Bikeway' in Adelaide runs along the tram lines to Glenelg. Today was the first time I had ridden it and was amazed to see, not just chain main, but a whole family of chain people, and a chain dog. There are a bunch of them, both free standing and attached to a fence a bit further along. I thought it would be an interesting backdrop for my bike.

agreed. great backdrop. Will have to bring my bike down for a photo with it. Actually, can we call concur that all Adelaide members shall have their photo taken with one of the chain family?

Looks like he is making off with your bike

I know! I actually took a photo on the other side first, but it didn't look right with him heading the opposite direction to the bike.

Here's an update to my bike.

I'll try get one this week. Never ridden that bikeway, surprised to hear there are cool chainmen, chainwomen and chaindogs along it!
