Taku, I believe you dropped the price to $600... or if you didn't, you have now.

In Masters 3? Yes.

Sold to Cam A.

SOLD! For sale - our Thule 4-bike rack. Fits a tow-ball, nice and sturdy, can tilt down for hatch/boot access, arms can also be lowered – normally $359 RRP – but today, $75 only! (Ok, it's a bit used).

Get in quick... because I won't be here that much longer!

I was saving this groupset especially for you, John.

Bike storage devices and Speedplay platform adapters (yeah, yeah, I dunno. They seemed like a good idea at the time).

By the way, I gave Eleri 3 x Speedplays, but they are not the flavour she prefers. I'd have a quiet word with her if you are a Speedplay Zero ...

More stuff for free:

Knog Dry Dog 17" pannier (single) mint

Shimano Saint MTB through-axle derailleur, unused

James Rogers

I'll take offers.

I'll be putting the leftovers up on the bicycle market sites in the coming days.

Ok, all put aside to the people who replied. Even the love/hate gloves.

(I lost the "hate" glove for about 10 minutes. Fortunately found again. Be terrible if you were just stuck with the "love" glove, Pete.)

The rest is heading to the op shop Thursday, unless anyone else wants something...

For those that don't know, we are moving to the US shortly. So I've been clearing out the shed and cupboards, and come across some of the more interesting bits of kit that never see sunshine. Some of it comes from my time as the world's laziest Audax rider. I've tried to give each item a "worn-in ...

I'll take the frame if it's still available.

Frame is yours, Stuart!

You might need to adjust the saddle to maintain your TT position though.

You need a headset cup remover - like this:

James Rogers

Yes, jersey orders are a separate batch to the skinsuits. We are waiting for a proof to be turned around by Cuore for sign off, before they start cranking out the jerseys. Based on previous deliveries, I'd guess this means they are still 5-6 weeks away.

James Rogers

Sounds good Strawbs!

James Rogers

Would anyone have a headset press and/or a star nut setter I could use/borrow?

James Rogers

Good question, just trying to get an answer for the jerseys, etc. Skinsuits are being rushed through (see other thread).

Other June 21 events:

SUVelo Crit at Heffron Park

Manly Warringah CC Akuna West Head race (including the Sydney Women’s Road Series)

James Rogers

Well folks, I have some bad news and some good news.

The bad news is that critical roadworks being undertaken on the main roads in Rookwood mean we can't traffic control our course for June 21.

We haven't been able to lock down a suitable alternative course, so unfortunately we will have to ...

Yes, it is Stu (silver with splash protection).

Why try before the kit comes in? Well, you can customise it (sleeve, body and leg length) +/- 2cm and 4cm. Trying it on will help you decide if custom is for you.

I tried it, and it didn't hurt a ...

After a number of years with Champion Systems, DHBC are changing club kit supplier to Cuore (the same supplier as the NRS team) and at the same time we’ve taken the opportunity to update the jersey design. The fundamentals remain the same so that our CNSW registered club kit doesn’t need to change ...

James Rogers

By the way, the skin suit looks like this. The different length arms are not a fashion statement, just an indication of what the long sleeve version looks like. The final skin suit will come with two long arms or two short arms.

Me too. I'll probably go for a bit of a ride afterwards, southwards.

Some of the times for the B2B are wrong or missing. Bro's time wasn't recorded, Taku's is about 25 mins out (not to his benefit). I rode with Max, and his time is roughly right... curious given it was electronic timing... or maybe it wasn't.

James Rogers

I think you might have accidentally dropped Douglas off the list, John. His stick identification skills should not be underestimated.

Also, I was hoping some of the setup people wouldn't mind doing a spot of marshalling as well?

The guy in front of me last year rode it on a TT bike. But not a skin suit. I'll just be riding it with a cold this year. Sniff.

Why, funny you should ask Douglas. There will indeed be a group ride or rides out to Rookwood on the day, starting from the usual assembly place (the Marrickville PO). Specific details to follow.

If you think there is an anomaly, please PM/email me with your concerns. I'll be sending the rider lists back to clubs to check grading, and likewise, DHBC grading will be reviewed again after all tickets are sold.

Still 6 spots in D and plenty in E and E women's.

Hi Prashi, this registration is only for April 26. We'll open up one for June 21 a little closer to the date.

Jenny, rules (confirmed by commissaire Christian), say drop bar only. I think some bikes can be sourced from within the club. I'll email you.

Same amount of climb as the last course (about 15m), less steep grades, slightly longer. It's lumpy, with a 300m long hill up Weekes Ave (it was the downhill part of the last course - we are just going the other way).
