Still my dream vehicle.

VM's Olmo got just nicer...

This 3ttt stem was originally black.

Stripped, polished and repainted.

How about that stuffed in your Christmas stocking!

GTS753 is putting the finishing touch on my 7-Eleven Eddy Merckx Corsa domestique build.

When it comes to decals for period restorations there is none better.

Cycling Tips

I've got a CT  kit coming for Christmas but better than that,  a cycling tip for you all.

1. Ride more.

Even before I started courieringering I used to ride alot.

I rode to work in Melbourne.  25km each way, 3 days a week.  The money I saved on petrol I put towards my South American travel fund, though truth be told I ate twice as much the days I rode.

I rode to work in London. 13km each way.

London is no walk in the park, arguably the most harrowing city to tackle on two wheels.

I thought I knew how to ride - but I was wrong.

Only when I rode every day, all day did I start to become smooth and savvy to the complex matrix of the road.

You can read about it, watch youtube, but until you ride day in, day out you won't get it.

You have to go out and ride it, make mistakes, observe and practice.

Another good tip is wear a helmet - but you know that one.

 I'll get to the tips and tricks next time but for now, ride more and 'be the ball'
