Does a Melbourne wanted listing for bicycles / components exist?

No idea... try posting here...? I'll start 😉 I'm almost a JayWoo when it
comes to keeping things spotless.. msg/call/whatever for more details,
pics, kms, conditions etc..

Have - don't need:

- 2003 Giant OCR-1 frame and fork (carbon fork) 'L' 55.5cm
- 105 9spd derailers front and back (braze on)
- 90mm stem for 26mm bars (5deg?)
- Shimano MTB crankset - not bad condition 170mm - square hole thingy
ummmmmm
- 9spd 105 STI shifters
- Lots of jerseys that I'm still to get rid of to downsize
- Wipperman 9spd chain and 9spd Ultegra rear cassette 12-15.. est 3000kms..
best to keep these as a pair
- Adidas knee warmers size M from probikekit - orig package/tickets/never
worn, they dont fit my hill climber legs 🙂
ummmmm.. possibly a few other things that I can't think of..

Want - need:

- 56cm track frame or something simple that fits me for an ss project.
- more carbon anything!
- Trainer DVDs (i could prolly rip/swap my existing ones..anyone?)
etc..etc..

cheers,

I have, but dont need:

1. Poor attidude to hill training
2. [censored] "Mongoose" touring bike size XXL (big friggin mistake - had a total nut-buster on top tube - look at this thing with complete distain now)
3. poofy magenta bianchi jersey - XXL - cant wear as it clashes horribly with the ruddy complexion that I develop whenever I ride (must get fitter)
4. complete Vanilla Ice back-catalogue - but you've probably all guessed this by now
5. numerous pairs of busted-ass knicks - cant chuck out old friends. They're a rainy day option but damnit, it never rains up here
6. an extra daughter - I have twin 7 yo's and a 4 yo (yes I'm a certified girl breeder). I would prefer not to split the twins, but if the right offer comes in, well ... .... I think the 4 yo should sell well. I must get rid of one. Its like, you know, whatever, living totally with 3 mini hillary duffs. Love my Sunday morning long ride .... .....

I want, but dont have:

1. a mickey rourke-like ability to stare down fear and pain and break my rivals legs (metaphorically though, not with knees and elbows like mickey)
2. ZIPP 404's but its only a matter of time. Credit department cant deny me forever. She won't want to raise 3 Hillary Duffs on her own.
3. more patience
4. kick-ass hardtail MTB - Hey santa clause you !$%^, where's my !@@&^% BIKE!!
5. a licence to kill (not indiscriminately - just ignorant car driving types - I would be happy to define capital offences if necessary)
6. more carbon bits on the pinarello (see point 2 above)

cheers,
Monsterman

well i'm looking for a steel 531c frame & fork (pref with cinelli crown) as
the basis for a SS freewheel

could be road or track but want close angles in a 23.5 to 24.5

Hrmm, I managed to destroy the pedal thread on my MTB cranks last
night. What do you want for them ? Was planning on heading to the lbs
soon so they could be a great option for me !

Zipp 404s I saw on ebay locally, but I wouldn't recommend them as training wheels! (was that you asking about that?)

I have a favourite pair of indecent bib knicks as well, I keep thinking I can patch the ass, but what do you mean it doesn't rain up here??????

I have:
1. Selle Italia Trimatic seat (aka "the ass-hatchet"😉
2. Whole box of worn out cassettes & chains
3. Sora 8 speed STI shifters almost new
4. rhs 8 speed deore shifter
4. poxy yellow vinyl seatbag

I want:
1. Track frame/bike approx 54cm
2. White handlebar tape that doesn't go grey after the first ride
3. Lightweight duallie
4. set of lightweight carbon tubulars for racing
5. a rack to fit 2 roadies or MTBs in the back of my van (w/ front wheel on)
6. my old legs back goddamn it....

I have:
1. A men's Learsport branded gel saddle which looks suspiciously similar
to another brand, which attempted cut me in half when I rode with a
backpack.
2. A setback seatpost, standard road, unsure of the brand but it was
decent, I upgraded to CF.
3. Various worn out bits of bike including lots of old cleats.
4. Some Wellgo clipless pedals and cleats.
5. Some flat pedals with toe straps. I destroyed the reflectors by
stacking my MTB, so that's pretty cool.
6. Too many bidon cages on my bike.

I want:
1. L'una

Aaaargh stuffed if I know. You got www? Check
http://www.learsport.com.au/ and see what the Lear 8000 has. That's the
best I can do until the next time I (1) am at home and (2) remember to
look at the seatpost or (3) am on a 'puter with www access (beyond the
great newsreader...)

I did my own 2 lap challenge of Coot-tha this morning. I think I would have an absolute maximum of 4 in me before me knees give out or I involuntarily rolled backwards down the hill

I did two laps of Mt Coot-tha on the bike... once. It's easier running
it.
