    Well bugger me!!!

    Didn't even know this section existed, now that I know its here and I notice a lot of familiar aliases I figure I may as well pimp my ride.

    Yep... I have a bike again... well almost! After my last bike was stolen just shy of a year ago from a secured basement car park in early 2011, I have finally decided that enough is enough and a replacement has been ordered.

    My main reason for this is to hopefully notify people of my willingness to destroy my body via a human powered device. I hope to get motivated to use this more often.

    Maybe some of my fello club members can persuade me to bring it along on club trips to enjoy a ride somewhere!

    Who knows, where it will begin, or end. All I know is it will be on my new Jamis.



    Pick it up on Tuesday next week, will be riding it home from the store (Anaconda)
    I rule!!!

    I bought my Jamis Eureka in 2002 and its done about 29,000km. Sadly the seat post clamp area has broken off the frame, it's still rideable with a longer seat post but one day I'll have to get a replacement. 100kg of weight on an ally frame has taken it's toll. It's been many places I wouldn't walk or drive. Hope you enjoy yours!

    Throw them away the platforms and get yourself a nice set of time ATAC clip ins pedals and a pair of cycling shoes and you will wonder how you ever rode a bike without them, especially on a nice Jamis hard tail like that.

    My first dually was a Jamis Dakar, loved that bike until I broke the rear triangle.

    Enjoy, it is addictive.
