    1990 Rocky Mountain Hammer on Bike Exchange at the minute. Looks to be in fairly original condition (apart from the abomination of a saddle)... I'd snap it up if I could justify it: http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bicycles ... /102232954

    96 Specialized M2 FS Frame & Judy XC's In Australia!

    First up I'm in Melbourne Australia and given that postage from here is massively expensive this is local pickup only. I know there's a few Ozzies on here so I thought i'd try this before dealing with the eBay... 1996 M2 Stumpjumper 18'' frame, good condition some chips and scrapes. Includes...

    Like the stealth look of the MC, that will be a killer when it's finished. Did you guys make it out for a ride last weekend? Going to be doing a rebuild of my stumpjumper soon, the spring kit for the Judy's I bought off eBay last year has, unsurprisingly turned to rust. So first on the list is...

    Awesome looking bike, reminds me of the 856 I used to own BITD...

    Sounds good to me, I'm in! Been spending far too much time on a road bike and the Stumpjumper is getting jealous. How about the Easter Saturday? I've emailed Trailmix to make sure they're open!

    Damn it I can't do this weekend and the weather looks fine!! Planning to head over to Lysterfield next Sunday if anyone wants to do 2 weekends in a row...

    Nice one Skinny, reackon it will be a challenge! That frame built up very nicely, looks like you got a bargain. I bought a Giant OCR off eBay a couple of weeks ago to replace my SS commuter (couldn't hack the distance in 1 gear!). Put 200k on it last week and it might be due a couple of upgrades...

    I'm defiantly up for a burn when everyone's free, it's been a while since I got a proper off road ride in... On a subject that's neither MTB or Retro related, I had this crazy idea that I might do Around the Bay in a Day this year. Probably the 210 or 135k rather than the full 250... Anyway's...

    show us your gt's

    Here's my 96 Talera. Rescued from the local charity shop, the original groupset was rusted solid so I converted it to an SS. Currently being ridden 100 miles a week as my commuter!

    show us your Rocky Mountains!

    Here's my 1996 RM Equipe, bought off eBay in about 2004. Great bike to ride, especially with the RC36's. Sadly the bikes in the UK and i'm in Australia, so I'll have to decide to ship it or sell it when i'm over at Christmas :shock:

    Top day yesterday lads, it was good to finally make it out on a ride! Lighter tyres will be the order of the day next time, those UST monsters seem to create there own gravitational field...

    I'm still in for Sunday, happy to just do Lysterfield if Lake Mountain is out for now. Maybe wait until we get a bigger turn out & the trails are dry.

    Yup I'm up for Lake Mountain this weekend. Sunday is best for me, also the weather is claiming to be 'mostly sunny'...

    We moved to Glenroy, very suburban compared to Brunswick but a nice big house plus a garage for more marriage friendly bike storage! I've noticed theres a few very tempting bikes floating about on eBay at the minute, so in fact it could end up being not so marriage friendly after all!

    Cool, pass stamped for the 13th... Lake Mountain single track looks great, just checked out a couple of vids on YouTube. The move went well cheers, we are now in proper suburbia. Luckily right next to a bike track so I can still commute to work, unluckily it's a 40K round trip and i'm riding...

    Nice post & pics mate, good to see you got the KHS riding well, it looks like a very sweet bike. I was using a set of Maxxis Crossmarks for a while thinking they would make a good allrounder but they always seemed a bit naff and compromised... Anyways lets try and organise a ride in the next...

    Thanks for the info Pfennig, it's much appreciated. I didn't realise you were a fellow Expat! Hope to see you lads out on the trails soon!
