Name: JP
Location: Canberra west
Bikes: Custom Bob Jackson tourer, custom Kish hardtail, 90s Klein Quantum with mod-ish kit, commuterised '89 Ritchey Ultra
Beard: Mostly off, v rarely on for wife enjoyment
Etc: 80% of my riding is MTB at lunch time during the week. My wife has nicer bikes than I do, knows when to hold em. My daughter is a tough little unit who loves camping. I run more than I ride. I struggle with social media in general but am very much in love with strava. On FOA I like to be presenter of alternative view points/grouch but am not too much like that elsewhere.
Hahahaha, my Dad and I go 50/50 everything. Most of my pay go towards the bikes, so I’m not really that much of a spoilt kid…
I hope…
you got a good attitude, youngun. stick around!
Cheers and will do!
Ah, sorry, didn’t know this post’s existence till today!

Beard: it’s impossible

Hey Jody,
Do you race at Manakau? And have you been down to Cambridge yet?
I’ve been meaning to make it over but haven’t had a chance yet (I’m over in Tauranga).
Hi, I’ve only been to Manukau once, and has yet to visit Cambridge. But I am keen to check it out soon.
Hello All,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have moved to Sydney from Paris, France about six month ago and I am slowly getting accustomed to the hills with my Pompino single speed. Despite cultural stereotypes, I am sporting a beard instead of a moustache ;).

Name: Granger
Location: Melbourne (Northcote) for a bit over a year, Brisbane prior.
Bike: Kennedy track frame, ebay frame pub-bike.
Beard: Neck-beard abilities, but prefer not to look like a lion.
ETC: First passion is cars (both work and play), so that’s where most of my money goes. Am trying to lay off that spending, and spend more time on the bike/s. Likes: Romantic walks to the fridge, daydreaming, quoting youtube clips. Dislikes: stuck-up folks, maintaining good posture, capsicum.
This guy. balls to stem alllll the way down ruckers hill.

Location: Sydney
Bike: Cinelli Mash Bolt, currently building an argon 18 e112 and a old steel frame that I’ll probably use as a pub bike.
Beard: only shitty stubble when lazy
ETC: originally from Granville area but now residing in the inner west. Don’t ride enough. Hoping prolonged use of these forums will change that haha
Long time lurker, having made only a few posts here but looking to change that soon and get more involved with the cycling scene in Melbourne.

Bike/s: 2013 Marin Cortina (CX), Federal Notorious (BMX) and building up an SS/fixed Pompino (Lemontime’s old one?) at the moment, just waiting for a few more bits and pieces to arrive in the mail.
Beard: Weird patches of fuzz appear on parts of my cheeks that is either promptly removed or kept for a few days depending on my state of mind.
ETC: Currently working in a bar in the CBD but looking to change out of that environment and into something that I actually enjoy, perhaps even bike shop work? If anyone here has any advice to share pertaining to landing a gig like that I’d very much appreciate it 
Good Guy Steve!
