Leaving Hotham today after the climbing camp we get 100 metres down the road and all of a sudden i can see my bike from the passenger side window. Thinking that that can not be good i get out to find i hadnt tightened the skewer enough and the bike has dropped out snapping off one of the arms of my fork dropouts. bah!!
Anyone know of a set of carbon forks going cheap around the melbourne parts? I can get away with spending about 300 i guess.
it is a 58cm frame so the steerer will have to be fairly long...

I had an incident on the way down to toll booth with a bee as well. He got caught in my ear but luckily didnt deliver the final blow.
My head is now looking like I've just stepped out of a botox clinic... I could easily sue for workplace harassment with all the names I've been called this morning... 🙂

I checked the CA insurance policy rates ... if you lose an eye from it, you get $3000. That'll just about get you a powertap SL 2.4 🙂

hahah, nice... I am kind of lucky it hit me high on the forehead.. anywhere on the face or eyes would have been interesting (or at least a few days off work!) hurmph!

Shame that. I've got a set of carbon forks lying around with a 164mm steerer. I'd have given that to you as it is of no use to me (too short a steerer). I don't want to throw it away as that's just plain wasteful.

Lotte, there's a bike recycling shop on Montague Rd in West End. I leave my superseded bits on their doorstep.

If it's a 1¼" threadless steerer and suits short reach calipers with 700C rims, what'll you take for it? I've got a 105 caliper that I dearly want to get onto the front of the commuter but I can't afford RRP for a set of forks at the moment. (stupid house buying *grumbles*)

I was at a old friends place today to purchase some TDF team clothes for $125 for bib'n brace and the top, when he asked if I wanted some carbon forks.
He showed me 3 boxes full of them and said he would sell them for about $40 ea, he had both full carbon and alloy steerer tube ones.
He also offered me some prolite carbon wheels for $700 a set, I was very tempted but as they were only clinchers with a shimano compatible cassette I said I would have to think about it.

I think it's 1 1/8" threadless, but I'll check with Paulie. If that's the case, you can have it - just pay for shipping :-)

Sorry, Paulie just confirmed that it's 1 1/8".
I don't really want to take it to that place in West End - I'd rather give it to someone without a middle man making money out of it.... anything that's been ridden by me is priceless.

Contact me offlist with how much shipping is and account details and I'll transfer the cash to you soonest.
I'll have to respread the karma around and offload some stuff. The only halfway useful stuff I've got going unloved at the moment though is a pair of 8spd Sora brifters.

No worries. I'll bring it to work tomorrow, wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in my lunchtime.
