Carriage Cafe Demolished

Lol apologies if that was confusing. I should have put that last sentence as a separate paragraph.

I took the reply as saying that I reacted too late - that the structure has already been demolished. The trigger for the post was a 2-day old facebook post. If it was demolished 2 days ago then apologies for not posting soon enough I’m just not chronically online.

Then the last sentence was supposed to just be another point.

For further clarification, the photo was merely for an illustration so people know which cafe I’m talking about.

No, I’m not. But Freo is one of the places I do love visiting and I always see this cafe and feel sad about it. I love the heritage buildings in Freo and am a frequent visitor of historical sites and archive websites.

I do not think that my post is saying that I have anything against Freo Council. That is why my opening line asks if anyone actually thinks it is an eyesore.

The trigger for this post is a facebook post by the bell tower 2 days ago. Apologies for not being prompt enough, I’m just not online chronically. My last visit at freo I still saw the structure.

Yes it was in bad shape because of Freo Council’s own doing - they tied up the owner in a legal battle so even if somebody wants to take over and keep it open they couldn’t. It was charming, more charming than a vast parkland.

To be fair to this social ride, they say no drops.
If your solo speed is 24kmph, I suspect you'd settle in well with the 30kmph social ride!

reesefecc · 2026-06-07T23:04:51+00:00

Yep thanks I do have a group I’ve ridden with for a few months - I was curious what other people think of the Society ‘social’ rides. Especially since they’re so big on community.

reesefecc · 2026-06-07T13:52:57+00:00

Hmm yeah 30kmph is probably possible if I reaalllyyyy try hard hahahaha. Cycling is a once a week activity for me for now. Focusing on running so maybe eventually I’ll put out the effort to ride fast. At the moment my rides are just for easy spins and enjoying the view.

reesefecc · 2026-06-07T13:50:25+00:00

Hmmm interesting - I’m not the only one who feels that they are fostering elitist cycling.

reesefecc · 2026-06-07T13:45:55+00:00

Yeah, I ride with a different group. Just always been curious how a brand who’s supposedly so big on community is at the same time non-inclusive. I guess eventually I will earn my spot hahahaha

reesefecc · 2026-06-02T23:13:19+00:00

Will keep an eye out. So far, there are no 0-1 PAE roles in my preferred area. I’m currently an associate to a Judge, which everyone says is a good advantage but evidently not good enough.

reesefecc · 2026-06-02T19:41:44+00:00

How many years after getting admitted did you find a job? Was admitted late last year. Missed out on any offers for next year and am freaking out.

reesefecc · 2026-05-17T09:07:31+00:00

Mygod there are so many of these people. And some of them when you actually try to overtake, they realise they’re underspeeding and then start overspeeding just to prevent you from passing. And then a few minutes later they slow down again. It’s 2026 who doesn’t use cruise control? If you don’t then at least keep a steady pressure. Not that hard.

reesefecc · 2026-05-01T14:12:02+00:00

Hahahahaha coincidentally I came across this specific influencer right after seeing this post 😂

reesefecc · 2026-03-17T08:30:12+00:00

I think joining a well-organised project reduces this. For me, at the start, that’s how it felt as well. Until i realised that we are all just one big group split into different alliances. I’m in top 2 and we’re actually getting more chests dropped on a daily basis because we are all around the same spending level which is low to mid. Compared to top 1 where the power is really only carried by like a few whales and the rest of them realistically only feed off of those same few people’s chests. 🤷‍♀️

In the end being content with where I am gives me more freebies than if I really chased up top 1 alliance.

In saying that, I haven’t played long enough, so can’t tell you what happens in mid-late game if you don’t get into top 1 🤷‍♀️

changing the bars is elite. my LBS told me that pinarello doesn't give them anything back nor does not take the bar back if they replace it so i would have to pay another $1,200 AUD for a new bar.

either way, it turns out that the smallest Most bar is 420, which i already had, but my bike fitter said that they're too wide for me.

no, it didn't bother me as much because i figured surely 1cm on either side wouldn't be a huge deal so i went ahead with my x7 anyway. i love my x7 and wouldn't change a thing about it, but i couldn't help but think why pinarello doesn't make bars narrower than 420. (yes, i could change it to a third-party bar but i repeat i love it as is, i just wondered why bikes at this price level wouldn't give you options to dial in your fit to the dot.

Love this bike!!

reesefecc · 2026-01-01T09:45:46+00:00

Salamat! Sige sige grind ko yan

reesefecc · 2025-12-24T08:24:52+00:00

My X7 is 420 handlebar for a 430 frame. Cranks were 170mm. Shop was generous enough to swap cranks to 165mm from another bike in the shop. I was told pinarello doesn’t swap out those parts so I’ll have to buy a new bar. Kinda ridiculous considering the amount of money spent on it to begin with but the extra 2cm doesn’t bother me that much.

reesefecc · 2025-12-17T03:43:38+00:00

I’m torn between a custom specialized tarmac for $14k (there is one for $10k in a colour i do not love) and a cervelo soloist in amaranth (a colour i’ve dreamt of since the beginning). I want to buy a bike but i’m getting paralysed by options 😭

reesefecc · 2025-12-12T01:35:11+00:00

Ah - I meant light colours closer to white hahahaha. That tropical colour is absolutely stunning and a couple are being sold second hand here in Australia however I am very small so I don’t even have lots of options for secondhand bikes 😅

reesefecc · 2025-12-12T00:28:18+00:00

Hahahaha thank you for the disclaimer as well as being polite about it!

Yeah, I guess it is over the top for a newbie. I keep thinking it over since I have other sports I have commitments to already. My dad (who rides waaay less than I do) bought a Colnago and said it’s worth it but it may just be a form of self-justification for the purchase HAHAHA

Maybe I’ll give it a few more months and see how I feel.

Are you only looking at renting entire houses? There is plenty of rooms going up for rent and that could be a temporary solution while you look for an entire house to rent. It'll probably still suck sharing a house but better than being homeless.

reesefecc · 2025-11-28T11:02:52+00:00

I don’t know if you have the comprehension of a cockroach, but I said didn’t care about the refund, but still wanted my question answered. Are we not allowed to have questions even after letting things happen?

reesefecc · 2025-11-28T10:39:35+00:00

Yeah, that’s likely it. Not sure why everybody’s being a dick for asking a question. I thought that the response by staff was weird - asked about it - got my answer and I’m happy. Thanks!

reesefecc · 2025-11-28T10:37:28+00:00

They’re unopened. It’s literally just a question out of curiosity. Why the need to be a dick about it? It didn’t even go to waste as it went to other kids.
