Having found myself in the land of the employed, I had a rush of blood to the head. The job is at the bottom of the food chain, so nothing wildly exotic, but compared to the mountain bike with hastily retrofitted 1½" road tyres, a Giant OCR3 is several orders of magnitude more refined. I want it NOW, but the nice men in the shop very patiently explained that I have to give them the other $800 first.
Bugger.
Those who like pictures and details can look here . Yes, it's all Shimano Sora. That's my budget level.
And it's mine! w00t! Lost the job, but the last paypacket was enough that I could make the last payment, pay rent AND still eat 🙂 Going from a steel frame mountain bike to an alloy road bike...nearly half the weight. I feel all speedy and stuff.

I need to recharge the batteries in the camera. This is what I got before it died. And, actually, I can ride it all the time. I'm unemployed, remember? I haven't been though. 75-80km in the first 24 hours isn't TOO bad though. Gawd it don't 'arf flatten the hills out. "like a homesick angel" is the phrase, I believe.

Nice ride! But, how the hell did you afford that being unemployed? You're not Judge Jeff Shaw?

I've only just lost my job. I'd already paid off $850 of the $999 it cost me before that happened and took the remaining $149 out of my final paycheque. I am now impoverished, but I have a shiny bike to console me. It's improved my mood no end. So, if anyone knows of some work going in Melbourne, let me know. Bear in mind that I go back to full time study in March.
