My sisters’ husband Richie’s new Trance which we picked up a few minutes ago from Maroubra Cycles. I’m so glad he didn’t get a $1k hardtail, but instead forked out that bit more to get this bike which will out last a hardtail in my opinion.

Ti goodness! I also finally (It’s been sitting there in a massive box in the entrance of my house for months!) got my Mugen exhaust fitted today by Beau and Brad at Westside Mufflers. Car feels more responsive and the exhaust itself is so much lighter than the stock item and only just loud enough to let me know there’s an exhaust back there.

I used to dream about owning this gear when I was a kid. When I saw this brand new, never used vintage Shimano Deore XT M735 front derailleur on eBay I couldn’t resist. Sold for $10.60! She’s light too at 129g (lighter than all that new school shit, even lighter than XTR!). I’m planning to whack her on the Ti frame :)

Got my Blackspire 32T single speed chainring in the mail today, lovely! Weight is now at 9.24kg.

Whoo hoo, my photoshopped Jessica Alba image just got plugged on hkfixed, my fave bicycle blog out there.

Long story short, but Jing was sending me images of ugly girls on ugly bikes, so I mocked this up and sent him an image of a hot girl on his hot bike, easy (lol).

Freaky cat culture.

Cat judging.

Puddies!

Christina and I are looking for a Russian Blue. We’ve done a fair bit of Google/Youtube (well, she’s done a lot more Youtube than I have) and we’re pretty sure it’s the right cat for us.

Today we went to a cat show out at Hornsby RSL (another fucking world, all a bit freaky really!). Of-course we couldn’t resist playing the pokies + roulette as well (lol).

I’m a perfectionist, so I cut down the steerer tubes on both my bikes this weekend as I wanted to eliminate the need for ugly spacers. A bit of a scary thing to do, especially considering I don’t have the special tools to do it with.

Dodgey tool + patience = no worries.

Before, see the ugly massive spacer above the stem?

After, not a single ugly spacer on there. Looks tight. I love it.

Suga’s new saddle. We both hate the “Ldy” font. Fucking designers, lol.

All done! (yeah right!).

My new Oakley Gascans. I paid $90 for these… that usually gets me 5 pairs of sunnies. I hope not to lose them, or destroy them too quickly.

Suga’s tyres came in today. There’s something wrong with me, for sure, as I think they’re totally porno… who in their right minds could think that of a tyre? Fucking hell. Definitely something wrong with me.

I put them on with love.

Oh my. Is that jealousy I am feeling? Fuck yes that’s it! I am so jealous of these tyres… I want them for the Ti project!

Going down! Old tyres were 700g each, these ones are 492/507g. I put Maxxis fly weight tubes in there too.

I also got her a set, front and rear, of Knog frogs (go Aussie!!!). They’re great!

I’ve just paid my entrance fee to for the NRMA CareFlight Woodford to Glenbrook Classic. Sooo looking forward to it. MWG’s heading up the team (our team name’s “The pixel pushers” who the fuck came up with that shit name Matt?). It’s a 25km ride. Endurance is so not my thing. I am semi-tempted to ride the single speed, but I’m leaning towards riding the Reign, sure it’ll be slow, but it’ll be fun too. My game plan will be to go off the main line and overtake as many people as I can on the downhills and only to let a few of those people overtake me back on the uphills. Should be fun! Got a bike? Why not enter yourself. It’s for a great cause.
