man, you would have to be a very keen cadence candidate to be pushing this, or for that matter any thing, around in weather like this. with salt water etc these bikes don’t have the best chances of living for long. it really makes me realise it is a pretty damn nice a country australia for weather and riding conditions. it has really made me now focus on hugo. i need the second fixie/single speed for the bad weather days to make my way to the silver ghost

the weather has been a shocker of late. almost 5 weeks of rain… in summer. very unusual for sydney. normally by now the fires are a serious threat but this year there hasn’t even been close to one in the Blue Mnts. all this rain is not allowing me to do much riding at all. i rode yesterday for 12km total and the first 3 was a complete downpour. i was so wet again i had to stop and ring my shirt out at the local shops. i did get to take the boys down to the regatta centre with firenza [tarini].
santa was good to me. so i do have the cash to pick up some nice bike gifts but the places i want to go shopping have sold out of what i want. i have to do a once only shop due to shipping costs.

i’ve found another couple of pretty impressive online bike stores
NOS - has some really awesome New Old stock that is just another reason i need to win lotto!

i am still bidding on the NOS presto steel valve caps. bizarre turn of events. i was outbid by one bidder then i had a second chance offer, but didn’t take it at full price - i am still hoping to get them to AUS for under $20 AUS. fingers X’d
