When are you going? Myself and a few mates going over on Friday night’s sailing - Derby to Maydena, back to Derby. Might see you there 😀

End of Feb, sounds like a good trip.

Tassie is Awesome - Maydena is very challenging .
Derby love the Atlas Trail .

D4D , if you are up for some fun , I'm local to the Wombat Trails ( Woodend ) due to my 'on a gap year ' status have been riding most days and exploring .

Any of you lot around Brisbane do up older bikes? I have a project bike I would give away to someone who's interested. It is a 1983 Alan Sprint, which is a fully threaded and glued aluminium frame. The frame is ok as I recall, the durace/suntour 7 speed gruppo has been neglected in a shed for a long while. Wolber clinchers are on it. At one stage it was an Optus sponsored race bike and when I got it there were tri bars on it. I was going to do it up but other projects came along. This is a very specialised frame with epoxy joints etc and will damage easily in the wrong hands - not for amateur restorers. It is not made for heavy riders either which also counts this Clydesdale out. Same frame as supplied to Guerciotti.

Hi, what size frame is it? I’m only 165 cm tall so I ride a 51 frame. I’m guessing here that being a race bike it is a larger 57-58 size?

Over at Derby-blue tier and atlas at Derby are brilliant- Maydena is awesome- nothing like it in the northern island - gravity downhill is scary - schinter tightening - never been so scared in my life - but awesome after a few runs when you get used to it. D4D - you’ll have a ball - I’m still on  Ls and I’m rapt with the experience 😀

I can't wait! I see they're closing Maydena on Friday due to fire risk.

It will be a 55 square frame I’d guess. I don’t have it here to measure. I ride a 58 and could ride it.

Just back from Derby / Maydena - awesome week!

I’d rate Derby as the better experience as it’s got everything- trail, downhill and most trails lead back to the town. I found Maydena to be mental - I’m riding MTB for about a year so not overly experienced.

Great vibe in Derby and the hotel / pizza joint / cafes had great food and couldn’t do enough for you. Lot of riders walking around with lumps / missing skin / bruises / blood on their legs and arms. Not many riding with elbow pads. 2 of us hired a full face helmet at Maydena- just $20/day - would really recommend it 😀.

Awesome, I had heard that re Derby vs. Maydena.

I can't wait, I just need to fix my Reverb dropper as the hydraulic line has sprung a leak

Just putting the finishing touches on the 3 race bikes as we are going to test out our clubs new track. We've totally rebuilt the track including a new 5m start ramp. Haven't raced for about 3.5 months, so this is going to hurt. I've had a noise in the front of My GT Cruiser that I haven't been able to find and fix. Nearly went out and bought some new carbon forks thinking mine were starting to let go, hence the noise. Pulled my front end out, cleaned and lightly greased it, inspected everything. Couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. As I was putting it back together, I only put one spacer back on the stem to give it a bit more thread to engage on, but it bottomed out and I couldn't quite get enough preload on the headset. But the upside was no noise. Pulled it apart and put the other spacer in and the noise has come back. Looks like a bit of friction between the 2 spacers creating the noise. Spray some silicon spray on there and the noise is gone. Saved myself about $300-400 on a new set of forks.
Wish me luck on the new track, I'm gonna need it.
Cheers, Mike.

Check these blokes and their bikes out,  makes you wonder about how good they'd go if they had some of our gear.

$250-$300 would probably pull you up and that is if it's in good condition. You have to take into account the age and low end parts.

Thanks for that. It needs new tyres and has a bit of surface rust so by your reckoning if I get 150 I'm right .

It is not a bike track it is shared path, big difference, and you can't ride two abreast on a shared path.
