p.s. congratulations on securing a girlfriend

Somewhere between the kilts and old people, down the back of the store with my head in a cupboard pretending to be very busy indeed..

Celts mostly. Bagpipes, men in kilts. And old people waiting to die.

well if it makes you feel any better ive got hayfever, mild gastro and have to work all weekend at a celtic festival. i wish i was just hung o ver

hey, all good, you? too big to be a ute. hilux i guess, or 'lux for short, although some people refer to them as rolluxes...

yeah ill be taking it easy haha, this is just so i can ride at least untill i get a new one at christmas hopefully

Thank you, mine was the 7th, and it's never too late =)

Oh, Happy Birthday!!! Hehe sorry, nearly forgot

Worse things have happened. I have also had a birthday recently and am feeling significantly older. Besides, 30 is the new 20.

Hey, weren't you 29 last time i looked?

well i don't HAVE to...

Haha it's all about being where the trails are! Google maps, my friend.

ohh shit didnt notice that ill get back to u as soon as i can thanks for the heads up sorry dude

well.....you could.........nah jokes

oh true, thast shit aye. do you know how much 55's are new?

ok thats all sweet, have you had anyone interested? i might have a mate who is, ill ask him about it, cya

Should post it on Farkin. Will get more Australian viewers that way.

Why are you selling the Brodie?

I saw that you had problems with your talas. I think im having these problems aswell, the travel adjustment wont work any more after 4 months of riding the same time as you developed problems with yours. How did you get the problem sorted out? i may have to go to my lbs with this issue im not sure.

I FOUND IT! I FREAKING FOUND IT! This what I want!

its goin great thanks, im soon gonna put that halo rim on the front and put an mtx on the back

True, I like Ibis (entered a comp to try and win one)Pivot and Turner stuff, they are pretty sick but they are all really expensive!

What do you know about the dw link?

True. Well thanks for your help cuz I'll keep looking then.

Oh okay. I was looking on the net and asked 99 about it an dit said it was a "Horst Link" I tried to look into that and the other types of systems but couldn't really make any sense out of them. It also has what they call a "floating brake" that is independent to the rear so it does not get any brake-jack. Anyway it's just a dream bike for now but was wondering what you thought. I am keen to demo it for a day from 99 soon though.

What does that mean? Is that a good thing?

This is the bike I'm keen on when I can afford it. What do you think?

No, they are not hiring yet, will try again soon.

It was also brought up as I saw you were at the brookfeild DH race. Do you think its worth going too? My cousin was talking the track up. Just don't want to go out there and be disappointed. (as a spectator point of view goes)

Yeh I realise that. It was more of a point saying that fitness wise xc is better for me. Probably less chance of crashing too, or not as badly :/.

I've only heard good things about the hope pro2 hubs. Good point about the money. I was actually going to get a DH bike and race but thought it would be better for fitness to get a xc bike and you get more for your money at races.

Nice, what wheelset is it? Are you going to race downhill? (notice the brook pics too)

Yeh on holidays. Havent been doing much really just chillin. Sold my kona and bought another bike. How about you? Still got the brodie?

it would be ok for all mountain but its more off a slopestyle frame so is heavier than your normal allmountain frame

I meant to type $2000.00 rims!!!

Hey mate how r u? i was wondering if u or any of your mates r interested in my reign xo..Its a custom DH bike my sponsor built up 4 me 2 race rnd 1 of the nationals this year.. Has $200.00 DT Swiss rims (red) and Manitou Doradoes.. Worth $8500.00 will sell for $1800.00 O.N.O.
