Ti rotor bolts, KCNC skewers.

Go the old school!

Thin and sexy

Ti bolts.

44g!

The Ti project is almost done!

Did 25km’s of Loftus this last weekend on the single speed. A couple of kids from Farkin showed us all the great bits, the trains we’re working on the day so these guys rode to meet Jing and I in the carpark, for me, that ride alone would have killed me.

From the first few minutes into the ride it was already evident that these 18yr old kids had boundless energy. Keeping up was pretty hard but all in all I had a great day and really appreciate the guys showing Jing and I all the different trails at Loftus, not to mention pushing us to ride for a shitload longer and further than we usually would.

The single speed was shit. I was clipped in all day, which wasn’t so confidence inspiring, and on the rocky downhill stuff the front end was so bumpy that I’d just understeer off the line (no suspension will do that to you I suppose?). I walked up a fair few hills on the 2nd part of the ride, lol. Pretty embarassing.

All in all it was a great day and the single speed was different but I’ve decided the single speed’s best for the road/around the block bashy.

Work of art! It’s modelled off a Selle SLR too which I find comfy, so hopefully this isn’t going to be too uncomfy!

Hope Mono Mini’s.

Floating rotors.

Fuck IE. IE is shit. Firefox 3 is out. Download it, use it and abuse it NOW.

Found: Sydney’s best dumplings. Hands down. Din Tai Fung

Electrician came today and I was without electricity for a few hours. I twiddled my thumbs for a second… no internet, no TV… what the fuck am I gonna do now? I stared at the Reign for a few minutes, the rear wheel came off, then the front, then everything else did too. I’ll be packing it tomorrow and off to Grip it goes for a re-spray.

Got a shitload of parts today for the Ti Project. Best to check Flickr for the pics.

Today I am missing the band. Here’s a video taken recently. A 15 year re-union. My guitar sounds shit… I can’t sing… but man it was fun. Miss these guys heaps, miss the music, the energy… maybe one day we’ll finish our recordings (older 1993 songs recorded at Troy Horse Studios here).

Went for a ride today at Loftus Oval with Christina, we met Felix at the carpark and had a great 2hour climb to the top. Both Christina and Felix did so well, myself included as I made it through some technical parts that I’ve never been able to clear as well as the first massive climb on the fire trail (I finally feel at home climbing on the Reign!).

Love how the Vet sign mimics to Mobil sign.

Felix was grinning ear to ear.

Suga did so well.

The view at the top.

Happy with the ride, starving… what better a way to fend off the cold weather with a hot bowl of Ichi-ban Boshi Ramen?!
