Maybe his point is I’m not a man? Not that I don’t get called a man all the time due to my manly looks and buff physique 😉
The tyres are Rubino Pro, I got them shipped from the u.s each time i bought them, or picked em up when i went over thre. I havent seen em here but Im sure another brand makes similar ones.
tHE bar tape was an accidental score… ages ago i bought an odd ebay auction of goodies that included a turbo saddle, bar tape and chainring for $25. I think it’s some old italian goodness from memory, random find I didnt intentionally purchase.

rode well, until I rode it off a 1 metre cliff in Bronte Park…
funny how much the gear ratio has changed… I’m now running something like a 52 up front…

This was my first one bought about 3 years ago. Unknown Tasmanian built frame, only info I have is a sticker from Craig Price Cycles in Ulverstone. Mostly Cinelli/Sugino/Velocity bits. Its currently having some new parts fitted including risers.

Where did you get that frame? I’m always trying to dig up Tassie built frames when I’m down there, to no avail.

I stumbled across it on ebay, it would be interesting to find out who actually built it.
