Today I am missing the band. Here’s a video taken recently. A 15 year re-union. My guitar sounds shit… I can’t sing… but man it was fun. Miss these guys heaps, miss the music, the energy… maybe one day we’ll finish our recordings (older 1993 songs recorded at Troy Horse Studios here).

Went for a ride today at Loftus Oval with Christina, we met Felix at the carpark and had a great 2hour climb to the top. Both Christina and Felix did so well, myself included as I made it through some technical parts that I’ve never been able to clear as well as the first massive climb on the fire trail (I finally feel at home climbing on the Reign!).

Love how the Vet sign mimics to Mobil sign.

Felix was grinning ear to ear.

Suga did so well.

The view at the top.

Happy with the ride, starving… what better a way to fend off the cold weather with a hot bowl of Ichi-ban Boshi Ramen?!

My sisters’ husband Richie’s new Trance which we picked up a few minutes ago from Maroubra Cycles. I’m so glad he didn’t get a $1k hardtail, but instead forked out that bit more to get this bike which will out last a hardtail in my opinion.

Ti goodness! I also finally (It’s been sitting there in a massive box in the entrance of my house for months!) got my Mugen exhaust fitted today by Beau and Brad at Westside Mufflers. Car feels more responsive and the exhaust itself is so much lighter than the stock item and only just loud enough to let me know there’s an exhaust back there.

I used to dream about owning this gear when I was a kid. When I saw this brand new, never used vintage Shimano Deore XT M735 front derailleur on eBay I couldn’t resist. Sold for $10.60! She’s light too at 129g (lighter than all that new school shit, even lighter than XTR!). I’m planning to whack her on the Ti frame :)

Got my Blackspire 32T single speed chainring in the mail today, lovely! Weight is now at 9.24kg.

Whoo hoo, my photoshopped Jessica Alba image just got plugged on hkfixed, my fave bicycle blog out there.

Long story short, but Jing was sending me images of ugly girls on ugly bikes, so I mocked this up and sent him an image of a hot girl on his hot bike, easy (lol).

Freaky cat culture.

Cat judging.

Puddies!

Christina and I are looking for a Russian Blue. We’ve done a fair bit of Google/Youtube (well, she’s done a lot more Youtube than I have) and we’re pretty sure it’s the right cat for us.

Today we went to a cat show out at Hornsby RSL (another fucking world, all a bit freaky really!). Of-course we couldn’t resist playing the pokies + roulette as well (lol).

I’m a perfectionist, so I cut down the steerer tubes on both my bikes this weekend as I wanted to eliminate the need for ugly spacers. A bit of a scary thing to do, especially considering I don’t have the special tools to do it with.

Dodgey tool + patience = no worries.

Before, see the ugly massive spacer above the stem?

After, not a single ugly spacer on there. Looks tight. I love it.

Suga’s new saddle. We both hate the “Ldy” font. Fucking designers, lol.

All done! (yeah right!).

My new Oakley Gascans. I paid $90 for these… that usually gets me 5 pairs of sunnies. I hope not to lose them, or destroy them too quickly.
