Lol, that's the one! I remembered you grabbed the bike, handed it to the girls, and without a word from anyone, the girls and the photographer knew what to do. It was the wallpaper on my PC at work back when I was in government. Got told to change it by Human Resources and I asked "don't like...

Justin Fox in da house! Long time my man, last time I saw you was at the garage at Leichhardt. Still have a picture of the models draped over my Merckx in front of some kitted out Lexus. Good to see you still tinkering with bikes and still a weapon behind the camera lens. Hope all's well for...

Remember the rule: You never finish polishing... ...you just get bored and decide to stop.

We all have a role in the world. Contributing to a lower benchmark is mine.

"...but it's two nice an example to use..." *too Moron.

My music collection is alphabetised by artist, and then in chronological order of release for each artist. If an artist released two albums on the one day, then the bar code tells me what goes first. When you have 2000 CDs and 1000 vinyl albums, it pays to have them organised. I never throw...

Oi, don't take that tone around here!

Yeah, I don't trust any of those titanium builders. Like, 3/2.5 tubes, but 6/4 dropout plates. What the hell is going on there!? MIXED GRADES! Sorcery I tells ya! If they're up to those kind of shenanigans, I wouldn't put it past them to slip in some Hi-Ten for the seatstays. Anyway, I'm...

Ahhh, so that's why velodromes are ridden anticlockwise!

I thought I was tough running 44:16 on my Redline BMX as a kid - this guy is running... what... 76:6? As for the thing in the original post - are they measuring the reach in feet? Yikes.

If that was mine and it was something I wanted to put back on the road and make it safe and give it more life, I would: Strip the paint and carry out a visual assessment of the type of rust and the extent of the rust. Anything surface can be treated and neutralised. Anything more serious...

Well given a lot of examples talked about in retrobike circles aren't pieces of crap bike shaped objects sold in department stores, we'd all be keen to hear examples of those brands taking serious liberties taken when describing the purity of materials. Given how many people here lust over...

Yikes, that's getting into Klein Manta territory. Still, it's pretty good value when you consider it comes with a pair of IRC Mythos and a gel seat cover. Still has room for more accessories.

I don't want to argue with you, because it would be unfair, but construction is actually a science and not magic or sorcery. And I'm a fan of mixed metal. LA Glam, Scandinavian death metal, thrash, NWOBHM... all part of life's rich tapestry.

Bit of a sleeper - the Jamis Dragon was a nice steel option and was (I think) 853. GT Karakoram as well, not sure if it has been mentioned. I think a bit more early 2000s than late 90s, but the Soma Groove was a nice alternative to the Salsa A'la Carte. The world had turned to aluminium, and...

1994 Haro Escher.

As a side issue, I had a friend decide he wanted to get into restoring bikes. He got as far as the BB and the damn thing wouldn't budge. Tried penetrating lubes, hitting the spanner with a mallet, all the usual things. Thankfully he didn't go nuts and damage the splines on the cup. I took a...

I worked in government for 25 years. Red tape is the strongest tape known to mankind, very hard to cut and gets tougher as it ages.

Yes. Taping the rims will protect the tubes from rubbing against the spoke holes in the rim bed, or depending on the design of the rim and length of the spoke, possibly rubbing against the end of the spoke. So yes, tape the rim. No. There is mail order - let someone else do the driving...

An uncle of mine was buried with 2 cans of beer. His wife said "that way he can share a cold one with someone when he gets there". Frankly, I'm not a religious person and I think they could have done better than the domestic swill he drank, but it's what he drank so who am I to argue. I have...
