Haha seems like i've stumbled upon a great little biking community here. I've been trawling eBay and Gumtree the past week or so looking at everything. Looks like there could be a few goers in the coming days. My head's telling me to get something not too expensive but functional, and my heart's telling me to get something in great nick that looks cool - what a terrible conundrum to havediggerdantheman wrote:I suspect that between the five or six of us we could virtually (as in theoretically) together a bike tonight for you....Crowz wrote:I'm starting to think that getting a complete set would be best for now as I wouldn't really know how to put it all together/which parts to source.

I appreciate the initiative Dan but know that I'm a poor uni student in no rush to purchase.

Ha! That's no excuse, as I'm a poor uni student with a new baby... In all seriousness though, sing out and we'll help in any way we can. If you find something that fits and you're happy with, buy it, ride it and enjoy it.Crowz wrote:I appreciate the initiative Dan but know that I'm a poor uni student in no rush to purchase.
6:00 saturday morning at the Melbourne for Raturday btw - bonus points for Rosie's door stamps and stolen Victory bar runners....

Unfortunately I work every 2 of 3 Saturdays starting at 8am so I won't be a regular at the rides. Will definitely try and make something happen when I procure a bike though.diggerdantheman wrote:Ha!

Same colourway, different frame. Repco probably made about forty-eight million of them...Crowz wrote:Did I see this Green/Yellow/Orange Superlite on eBay or is it one just like it?munga wrote:

Wynnum Loop
Thoughts? I don't mean to step on any Riverloop toes - we could perhaps even swing it to go over the Gateway?

It was a bit of a shemozzle finding a way around the port roads last Saturday, with all the roadworks underway.diggerdantheman wrote:There's some good midway coffee at Manly, surely...

But I'll be departing from Kurilpa Bridge Tank Street at around 6am again this Saturday to do a 50km ride down to Lota via the Gateway, if you are not too dazzled by titanium bling and can live with touring bike pace.

There are roadworks in progress at Lytton, but there is an easy diversion if required.
Cuttlefish Cafe on the Manly Esplanade is popular with cyclists for a coffee stop. My preference is to have breakfast and coffee post ride at Groove Train in King George Square, but I'm flexible.

Other news, I commuted on the Vantage today, it's a different bike to the Kenetic (yeah I know ones a Repco & the other is a Malvern Star), the 'feel' of the Vantage is that it's a heavier bike, but the 'butt' feel is that it's a quicker bike, the times?
Yep, when I dumped the times into the program they're pretty much the same, they're both 6 speed (Vantage is Shim SIS, the Kenetic is Suntour), they're both 'touring' models, similar wheels (Weinmann's on the Vantage, Araya's on the Kenetic), the Vantage is roughly a 58cm, the Kenetic is pretty much a 56cm, but the Vantage feels more 'stuck' on the road but seems to run harder.
I had sort of offered someone that I'd sell them the Vantage for a bit less than the price of the parts that I'd fitted to it, they said they couldn't afford it, which after commuting on the thing today I'm glad about, the Vantage is staying in the 'bike cave', so is the Kenetic, so I'm back to having 14 bikes (well when the Benotto arrives), but will always be looking for that 'special something', what's one more bike, eh!
