And there i was stuck at the Taberet place at forest hills. I heard the duck is pretty good.

the tube of the frame nearest to your knees when you're riding.

a dude i know even broke a chase within half a year doing what it was meant for, street. But i actually liked how the f400 handled.

cannondale likes to crack. i cracked a blue f400 way back in 05.

Hopefully my girlfriend's dad isn't using the car on that day. He isn't working so, yeah. If i can't get the car, will anyone pick me from blackburn/boxhill station? Don't really know my way around yet.

is an accord allowed?

spoted a silver r33 gts-t outside the house next door to mine, 231 springfield road, is that owned by anyone here?

I saw a black skyline, i think it was an r32 at glen waverly yesterday evening.

I probably would put a freewheel on it, something like the White industries Eno, fixie kills knees. Thats if i'm getting a fixie.

No front brake mounts?

Saw some movie about how a credit card company outsourced their call centers to India and even trained those workers to masquerade as Americans..

Heard of chumba bikeS?

I can go up to 150/mth i reckon, is that too little? I reckon not. And probably i can download say minimally 10gb at least, just for files. Does surfing count towards your quota? About 7gb a month on anime alone. Per episode per show is about 250mb, i can watch up to 7 or 8 shows a week, and a month, more than 10gb i reckon. More is always better than less yeah? And my modem is ADSL2+ i checked. Used when i was still on my previous ADSL plan.

i actually liked the giant nrs for awhile. But i ended up getting an xtc team.

Oh yes, i will be living in Blackburn when i come over, postal code 3130. Thats as far as i know about where i'm living. I will find out when i arrive there, since the owner of my house is my girlfriend's dad and i'm going to be bunking in with my girlfriend. And basically i will be using it for torrenting. I'm still not sure about the difference between ADSL and ADSL2+. Whats the difference? Is ADSL2+ an upgraded version of ADSL? As far as i know, they can be run on the same equipment.

Well, i think soft tails are something else entirely from full sussers. There's a khs something thats classified as a soft tail, not much travel, waste of time. I do like the Santa Cruz Heckler. Wheelie machine. With the rear shock set right anyway. I just got a Giant Acid, frame only, no headsets, nothing. Was thinking of building it up, but i'm not exactly a fan of hardtails with long front end travel forks. I wonder if it can take a 100mm fox vanilla r.

First of all, thanks to all who replied. I'll check out westnet and TPG and DingoBlue. DingoBlue has the fastest and cheapest plan, what do people think of them? Hey Ken, i'm hoping at least the equivalent of pacnet's 1.5mbps plan, i don't even mind if it's a little more expensive, i need my anime.

There's just 23days left before i fly over, so, i wanna get to sorting out things quick when i arrive, before i start school anyway. What ISPs do people here use? Their customer service and internet plans? I need a service that is fast and unlimited bandwidth, well, it doesn't have to be all that fast but 5mbps and above would be preferred. I currently use a 8mbps cable connection in Singapore. Thanks all in advance!

Yes, i'm sorry. I was over-generalising. Its about QC most of the time, not about the place where its made. I do use a lot of china branded bike stuff, like i used to ride an Echo Pure frame, with full echo parts. And taiwanese parts, such as Kenda Tires and Cheng Shin tubes. I used to change cables a lot, derailluer cables were changed about once every 6 months and when i was using vees, i changed those every 6 months too. I use xt cables. I'm told the cables would stretch actually, and when i was still using vees, i've had a brake cable snap on me on a wheelie, landed hard on my ass. I've been scared ever since. So i usually advise people to change their cables once 6 months or a year if one doesn't ride so often.

Chang Stars sound china made and i don't think they're any good. I agree, chuck them. Oh well, the deitys are pretty tested and proven so i'm partial to them, but i still use real mtb parts, cranks and all. And Kyle, why don't you consider a hydraulic system? Something like a shimano deore, great brakes, and they're cheap. I'm from a humid country so i don't really recommend dot4 systems because they absorb moisture and expand too quickly. Like Hayes brakes. Magura does good brakes too, like the Louise and Marta, but they're exhorbitant. Cable systems require regular cable replacement, and hydro systems probably need a bleed every what, 1yr or so. And thats if you ride a lot.

Oh well, the truvativ stylo type cranks are worth a look at. And also the shimano hollowtech cranks, pretty reliable. But for jumping, i'd go for deity bmx cranks. Although i use xt ht2 cranks.

The RST Gila will kill anyone using it for dirt jump. RST forks are dangerous. I had an RST fork once, 32mm stanchions and all 130mm of travel, the fork locked up for no reason, i crashed. Scary. The only cable discs that are actually reliable are those from avid, bb5 and bb7. The cranks are okay, isis stuff are okay, until the splines get worn. I reckon for 300 its okay, i don't know much about the Australia bike stuff prices but if it was in Singapore, $300 is okay.

What kind of components come on the chucker? Fork brakes cranks bars Go ss if you can, there's less heartache if you crash.

nice!

And i'm new to the whole Victorian system, so whats an AASA license? And is it a one time, pay and get thing, no driving ability assessment or anything?
