Yeah I just looked and they seem to still be out of stock online but some stores still have them in stock depending on spec and colours. If you ever come done this way you can take mine for a ride and see what you think first
-
That was the same type of thing I was looking at and ended up with a specialized rockhopper sport mainly because I got it for$800 from the local store.
-
Thats how I imagined myself going on a regular ride when I went from 26in to 29in ๐ ๐ Turns out magpie season started today. Same route to work and first time having a friend flying with me for a few blocks haha
-
I was looking at chopping that off haha. But I already want another set of wheels so I can have a spare set with smoother tyres for the rides to work as its mostly smooth apart from some short cuts through some parks and keep these for some trails. What shops do you guys use for buying parts?
-
I bought mine for a bit of fun and riding to and from work but now I'm starting to see how addictive and expensive this hobby can become haha Here's my basic rig, done a good 100km so far and it hasn't killed me and now I've started looking at stuff you can buy
-
Did you make it back yet @Streetkarnage? How are you going money wise and accommodation wise during this? Aus gov help at all?
-
^^^^ damn kyal, going deep in them street car feels.

Fuck that sucks man. How long you been stuck out of aus for?

So I went and bought a new bike. Ended up with a specialized rockhopper sport. Basically a 29in hardtail with hydralic discbrakes so hopefully its a decent start point. I got lucky and found a local store had one of the last in stock and its a awesome bike to ride but the step up in wheel size has increased my gumbyness. Should be easy to get used to though. Keen for heaps more riding and trying to get some consistency to some long distance wheelies/manuals
-
Yeah I'm going to say 15k is out of my budget haha. But up to probably 1k and I will be happy if I can get the stuff on one I want.

Got a question for all you mtb dudes. I've been slowly getting obsessed with doing long wheelies and manuals lately and decided I've reached the limit of my free repco spec work nugget (only reach about 50m on the flat before my shit brakes become useless and my momentum gets too much). Now my problem is I grew up with bmx life so mtb are new to me. So its time I buy something half decent, I want it to be able to ride to work(15-20mins without being to uncomfortable) so Basically I'm thinking of going a hardtail 29er as they seem to be available in the styles and set-ups that seem to be OK to me. But if any of you guys are good at this sort of stuff do you have any recommendations on things I should be looking for. Basically my current search is hydralic disc brakes and hardtail that looks like it could work haha

I don't even know how to respond to that ๐๐ฅบ๐๐ฅบ๐๐ฅบ๐๐ฅบ I remember buying ke70s from the abandoned car auctions and using them as paddock bashers and then dropping them off to the tip before I picked up another. Good 100k thrown away in today's money then
-
can you still get ke70s? I can't remember the last time I saw one
-
Yeah ask me. I bought a old valiant pacer because even that sort of money can't buy laurels these days.

Your not getting out of this knife fight m8.
