I had a consistent BB creak that got particularly nasty at times. Different cranks, 2 sets of bearings and multiple dismantle/ clean/ reinstall's didn't make a difference. Frame replaced under warranty. Only issue I have had, though. Great bike otherwise. Comfy and responsive. I have done 350kms in a day on mine and came away with no back problems. Pretty good for such aggressive geometry.

Started the wipe down and discovered two 1" cracks at the bottom of the seat tube, running across the bottom bracket shell. Bike has only done about 300kms.
Dropped it into Cycle City, and they anticipate about a two week turnaround. Woe is me...

Another freezing morning this morning, I'm getting a bit over it to be honest. Sunrise at the top of Red Hill was nice but I would put up with a few less spectacular sunrises if the weather was just a little bit warmer (over 0°C isn't asking too much is it?).

Strange thing is (before the tea party climate nay sayers start getting excited) that the minimums are well below average, but the maximums are almost a degree above average too.

I was on the way down the hill as you guys were going up!mrgolf wrote:I was atop Stromlo. It felt about 3-4 deg warmer up there than in the valley below. -5deg this morning is getting too much. Its -2 predicted tonight. I reckon it will be about -4 again, screw it. Cant wait for summer. Hope it warms up before the Scott.

Yes I've noticed the temp differences between the top and bottom of the hill lately as well.
