Yep our BORA's are Carbon. They are also pretty light @ 1350g have good aero properties bring 50mm deep & stiff as well. They are a great wheel for just about any terrain.

That's assuming we get then of course. Which I am starting to really doubt.

Probably a bit flash for me. I like the mostly black understated look. There is a fuck of a lot of me afterall, and black is supposed to be slimming.

These arrived today to complete my cockpit for the Wilier.

Read more about it on my blog: http://wgtproject.norbtech.com/2011/09/ ... ompletion/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I won a $50 bicycle express voucher a while back, so i thought i should go and spend it.. so i grabbed one of these.

pretty bright, and with multiple mounting options. I was planning to mount it on the back of my helmet ... maybe..

by Miss V's reckoning, it's slightly dimmer than my dinotte tail light, but it does a good job of catching the eye through its flash pattern.

Nice one Norbs. I just ordered one of these, it's for running but can be strapped to the bike with a cadence sensor so I'll be doing that too

Hows the bike Mando?

Good mate, still only doing about 20km each weekend, legs are taking ages to get used to it. Bike is awesome though

Got a new road bike

A nice black one that has the names of the designers on the chain stay. It's being built to spec and should be ready next week.

Hmm. You drive a Beemer, so obviously have cash to burn. Moots, Colnago, Holland?

I got this a couple days ago

3 Litre Hydration Bladder and a 18L Storage capacity with room for all the tools and spares and clips to carry a Tent and all that jumbo on...

picked it up for a measly sum of $65 too, which was at least half the price of what they go for here in Aus. Stoked!

in the past at my work i've been the colleague responsible for getting people cycling

maybe investigate whether there's any less busy routes? try here maybe:

that's what i do, or better still (assuming there's nice weather for cycling during the week) drive into work on Sunday night with a weeks worth of clothes. worst case is ride with a backpack on monday morning with everything you need for the week. things don't tend to get too scrunched up. You could also look at getting your shirts etc cleaned near your work. that'd save you having to ship them back and forth

avro707c wrote: We have a shower, but no lockers to keep your stuff - so it's just hang the shirts on the rack in our office. And the bikes are just locked to a railing, no proper lock-up storage for them Seriously, why can't goverment offices get with the times?

I keep my stuff in my backpack and a large drawer in my desk. Not really ideal, but i wasn't hired to look pretty

SA gov employees sometimes get to park their bikes next to their desk.. probably depends which department though. i used to be able to do that, until the new Ops manager screwed over all the cyclists

I have paid bike parking in a council owned car park ($130/ 6 months) where they have a secure lockup. maybe you can find something like that near your work?
