I thought the "shred" was where I kept my bikes after 8 pints and a cider chaser.

Any wonder it wouldn't come off. Vodka? Gees, why don't you join the old girls at the bowling club and have a Pimms and Lemonade? Next time try whiskey neat. Vodka weakens you. Whiskey fortifies you. In all seriousness, a mix of auto trans fluid with some acetone works wonders for free up...

[shrugs] I dunno, I just put stuff together and cross my fingers.

Yep. There is a distinct lack of friction in the drivetrain. It is simple, it is cleaner. I think it has made me a smoother rider too. SS teaches you to maintain momentum and rhythm, none of this on the brake off the brake on the gas off the gas - just maintain a steady flow and pick lines...

Given I always seem to vote for the bike that ends up coming in second or third, this month is going to be even harder for me to make a selection. How do I pick a maid of honour out of 20 bridesmaids that were my top picks in the first place?! This is gonna be tough.

Ahhh, one of those multi-positional chain guides. Cool.

Eccentric hub (White Industries). Eccentric BB (which will mean an outboard bearing type crank which I assume from the chainring being "non-optional" that you want to keep the cranks so an eccentric BB might be out of the question). Half link, or half link type BMX chain. As noted above, the...

If it has sentimental value, clean it up and hang it up, but if not - then sell it on to someone who will get some fun out of restoring it and riding it. That bike has a lot of life and purpose left in it. I predict it being sold to someone here where it will be stripped out, cleaned up, parts...

They left out the bit where they copied a Ritchey MountainBike.

Bike shops for me are now just places where I buy cables, tyres*, consumables like chain lube and bike specific clothing. They hold no thrill for me. All the bikes look the same and there is always some snotty twirp who takes one look at my grey beard and asks if I want to see their range of...

Twin humbuckers into a Randall via a Tubescreamer... AC/DC on vinyl... Misfits... Death metal poster... Bicycle... I don't know you, but you seem like a fine upstanding citizen to me. 🤘

It is, kind of. It's because we're down under that the headset must reflect that. And in reality, we're not actually "down under". The maps have been drawn upside down for centuries because the early explorers were from what is now Europe. Makes sense when you look at it the right way, all...

Lol, that's the one! I remembered you grabbed the bike, handed it to the girls, and without a word from anyone, the girls and the photographer knew what to do. It was the wallpaper on my PC at work back when I was in government. Got told to change it by Human Resources and I asked "don't like...

Justin Fox in da house! Long time my man, last time I saw you was at the garage at Leichhardt. Still have a picture of the models draped over my Merckx in front of some kitted out Lexus. Good to see you still tinkering with bikes and still a weapon behind the camera lens. Hope all's well for...

Remember the rule: You never finish polishing... ...you just get bored and decide to stop.

We all have a role in the world. Contributing to a lower benchmark is mine.

"...but it's two nice an example to use..." *too Moron.

My music collection is alphabetised by artist, and then in chronological order of release for each artist. If an artist released two albums on the one day, then the bar code tells me what goes first. When you have 2000 CDs and 1000 vinyl albums, it pays to have them organised. I never throw...

Oi, don't take that tone around here!

Yeah, I don't trust any of those titanium builders. Like, 3/2.5 tubes, but 6/4 dropout plates. What the hell is going on there!? MIXED GRADES! Sorcery I tells ya! If they're up to those kind of shenanigans, I wouldn't put it past them to slip in some Hi-Ten for the seatstays. Anyway, I'm...
