Newbie: I’m a fella livin’ in Melbourne Australia. Work in one of the big buildings there in the comms industry. Mid 30s, no kids, fancy free etc. Into motorbikes too (street, track days). Riding since I could walk. First bike: Metallic green dragster 1975. 1980’s went to department store 10speed Roadmaster. 1989 first MTB – Apollo Everest. Current bike: Avanti Aggressor MTB 2003 (no knobbies, commute). Ride to work just about everyday – 19kms round trip (short way). Done the ‘Bay ride’ 5 times since 1996 on the MTB. Do most bike trails around Melb & surrounds when at a loose end. Dodge the roadbike boys St Kilda to Franger when I wet the bed. Haven’t done any real hardcore MTB yet, but dabbled in some single track up in the hills. Got an eye to convert my old Apollo Everest into a single speeder for the commute, will post pix & details when successful. Hence the ‘SS’ in my username, maybe abit premature… see how we go…..

Welcome to the group and good luck with the SS build. Thinking about the last 6 months.. I'm sure most of your questions can be answered with at least a little bit of knowledge 🙂
