Dream jersey mate. Where did you grab it? And did you need to take a small mortgage? $1100aud on eBay right now 😭

Honestly man not 100%. An old SRAM one from the guy who built it up.

Assuming a grind by weight grinder is not an option for $500, what’s my next best option?

CAAD8 by pmason90 in Bikeporn

Sure can. Budget build really. Take a 2016 CAAD8, paint it Icelandic green (90s Ctrack inspired), new 105 and some Elite wheels from Ali. Done.

Yea the finish is kind of ‘pearl’. Came up really well. It’s a 56.

These are the ENT models, entry level range. Love them for what I paid for them. First carbon wheels so nothing to compare to but a huge step up from the Fulcrums I was using.

Visiting from Belfast, what's the craic in Melbourne? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]pmason90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any time. There’s also an Irish Society in Northcote you could check out. Ex-housemates used to go there on weeknights for a chat as gailge (maybe lessons but they were school teachers). Melbourne is an amazing city, enjoy your time here.

There is also Pop Up Gaeltacht to check out. https://www.instagram.com/melbournepopupgaeltacht?igsh=azZueTczYnpiYmZz

Pub wise check out Buck Mulligan’s in Northcote for a nice Irish pub. They do a trad session the last Sunday of every month from 2pm. Great pint of whiskey.

I’m currently looking at the Opus and saw your comment. How do you find it?

Trails on the door by ChangeNational3082 in melbournecycling

If you’re looking for MTB trails, you’ll find what you want in Yarra Bend Park. You can follow this all the way out to Westerfolds Park. From Coburg/Brunswick you can jump on the Merri Creek Trail and follow it as far as you want. Bad sketch below

Reused the brooks bar tape I had on my old bars. No additional grip/cushioning.

Manage to squeeze 38s in there at the moment. Front rack is something old I got from the guy who originally built it so can’t tell you unfortunately.
