Some days (OK most days) I love my job...

Some days are spent working on nothing but Big W heaps when you have a shop in Morley. But sometimes, every now and again, something really nice swings in.

 

 

Apart from needing a new chain, this bike runs like it was bought new yesterday. She's showing her age a little but nothing a few minutes on e-bay and a sand blast and fresh paint job wouldn't fix.

Dwellingup 100 training ride - Langford Park, Jarrahdale

We'll be headed out to Langford Park, Jarrahdale on Sunday the 4th of September for a Dwellingup 100 prep ride. Jarrahdale is a great place to go and get some 'k's in the legs' before the big event. Anyone who wants to come along is more than welcome to join us at 8am in the carpark near the toilet block.

All rider skill and fitness levels welcome, this is more about getting in a long ride than a fast one.

2012 Shimano Roadshow

I just got back from a visit to Ascot Quays for the 2012 Shimano roadshow.

On show was the new Deore XT drivetrain in both Silver & Black and 3x10 & 2x10. Have got to say that it looks pretty sweet, can't wait to ride it on some 2012 offerings.

Also the highly anticipated Ultegra Di2 drivetrain was there for us to play with. It must be said Di2 is great but at the ultegra pricepoint, a little bulky.

It will be interesting to see how much it costs on a fully spec'd bike from some of the various suppliers who will use it. Stay tuned for news on Specialized Tarmacs and Roubaixs with "Ui2".

There are a few more pics on our Flickr page.

2012 Specialized Bikes

A few of the first 2012 Specialized bikes have started to sneak into the country and so far things are looking pretty good.

The new Carve range of 29'rs are looking like the pick of the bunch right now. They fill a gap between the Rockhopper 29'rs and and the Stumpjumper Hardtail 29'r ranging in price from $1499 - $1999. With a light M4SL Alloy frame and Rockshox 80mm suspension forks these bikes are prerfect for serious mountainbikers wanting to dip their toes into the 29'r craze or the beginner racer who wants a value package without forking out for the Stumpjumper HT.
