GVM about to cross the line. He must have cursed all the way pedaling back up his little detour!!

And I believe she is riding in takkies!!

Some pics of Dave Cubbin, finishing 36th and first finisher on a single speed.

She's cutting it fine, huge respect to her for carrying on. Around 270 kays to the finish for her..

At the finish line. Tom

GVM making up for lost time!

He's turned around, but given himself an extra 400m + of climbing it looks like!!

Mate of mine, Dave Cubbin is riding it on his single speed! Sitting around 50th at the moment!! Tom

Spotted on The Munga...

Yes it definitely will be worth purchasing. Tom

There might not be any OneTen frames available shortly, I think they have done the final production run. Tom

I'm surprised they still come with the lockout option, I thought this option was going to be dropped. If I was you, I'd have a chat with Nico Pfitzenmaier, he knows a great deal about the Stage and XC riding on it (although I think he has now switched brand). Pike is an absolute beauty, running the 140 on my Max... Tom

January I think. Back in the promised land in a few weeks time, so will pop in and see Pat and the team while I'm there. Tom

My theory is that you can never have enough travel, so would go with the 120.. Also had the Revelation (140) on my 110, upgraded to a Pike on my Max and the difference is incredible. The Revelation also gave me a few issues, whereas the Pike has been flawless. Tom

Do you not have household insurance on your bike? Tom

Listen to Myles and take his advice....... Camber all the way...

Leave it as is for now, and only upgrade when you have completely worn it out. I upgraded my Shimano SLX 3 x 9 to a 3 x 10 (22/32/42 x 36/11 if I remember correctly). Couldn't use the 42 with the 36, but everything else worked. Tom

Great to see this is happening again! What about the 35 kay race? Tom

Slakline frames will be available from January 2018. Which gives me a couple more months of riding on my Max before I have to sell it. The sweetner this time for SWMBO is not too bad, I only have to get the outside room renovated and the garden spruced up a bit.. Tom

Slakline...

So did anyone else get an email from Pyga today?

I think we might be. Have asked the techie responsible for an update, will try and see if I can get a sample to test. Tom

Came across this display at our head office this morning - flippin great idea. Tom
