... I'm non-confrontational and the quiet type, Nath they're GREAT ...

softcock.

  yep, but on the other hand (pardon the pun) there's nothing like a 6-pack of beer and DVD of dwarf porn.

HAHAHAH

OK well... How about rubber band, a length of old tube and a piece of paper with "you're special" written in 20cm text?

then we can all get a trophie.

Dibs on the poster, cause I'm feeling delicate today and need all the positivism I can get.
Nath, do those trophies come in XXL? Cause I think I'd like to run fat tyres on the pug for off-road use.

Nath and I came up with this idea of having a swap event as the racing is going on.

See thread http://fixed.org.au/forums/index.php/topic,2407.0.html

To coincide with the fixed.ord.au informal track day (see thread http://fixed.org.au/forums/index.php/topic,2360.0.html), we are also having a swap event.  The swap event will run throughout the track proceedings.  Check the link for meet times and location.  There's a $5 donation if you want to be part of the track racing, otherwise the swap part of the day is free.

Bring your unwanted bikie bits for trade or sale.  Not restricted to fixie bits either.  Fixer newbies are also most welcome to come on down to seek advice on bike setups and riding techniques.

As always, all are welcome.

There have been a few questions about gearing - for Coburg you'll probably want to have about 80-85 gear inches. We will not be doing any really fast stuff so that should suit well. Consult the gear chart to see which combos you can use.

I reckon it will - especially if there's food and drink involved :)

And if you promise to bring all your spare bike crud - hell yeah!

Right.... I've assembled a varied sampling of my spare bits and bobs.

If you're looking for cranks, saddles, seat posts, pedals, hubs, chainrings or even a few non fixie bits and pieces I've got you covered.

See you guys in the morning.

See you in the morning!

I'll be at Fed Sq at 7:30 - Des will be at the track at 8:30, hope to catch you all at one or the other.

If anyone is driving please give me a squillo (0404 622 272) in the am and I might get you to pick up some stuff from my place on your way over to the track.

Wimp!

I'll go further: Precious wimp.

:) I don't want to ride my "track bike" on the street. I could carry the wheels.. but a bike and wheels might be stretching it. Plus - it might get dust and scratches on it. hahah

So to all you little girls who were too scared to ride on the track 'cause you thought it was too wet- you'll be happy to hear that Mark and I checked it out at about 3PM and it was perfect! In fact the sun came out at about 4PM. It was a pity that the group had disbanded by that stage. I had fun though!
Check out the photo's of the day

I think this photo basically sums up the day nicely
