"Yes - i think the idea of bike cages at suburban train stations is a good way to go - maybe even the microchipped card to lock you bike in the cage - can be used to get on the train.  And to finish it off if they start doing bike hire in Sydney…"

"Im thinking though that if a congestion tax was brought in people would actually park at their local train station rather than going all the way in to White Bay - only a few would do that."

1983 Malvern Star Sprint 12

Posted on May 11, 2010 at 2:13am 4 Comments

So, I picked up a new toy a few days ago.

Well, I use the term "new" loosely. This "new " toy is 27 years old. But it's "new" in the sense that I'm the first consumer to have purchased it from the retailer.

It's a 1983 Malvern Star Sprint 12.

Double Stem Accessory Bar

Just saw this over at the Lazy Randonneur:

I don't know about the cost effectiveness of using 4 x EL530s, but I like the double stem idea. Going to file this away for future…

Robert, the IRD web site says they no longer ship to locations outside the USA but they say there are web stores which do stock their products. Do you know where I can find one?

Hi Robert, thanks for that. In the meantime (since I sent you the message) my LBS - Cranks North Sydney - sourced the supplier on the Central Coast and ordered the cassette. I also had read those threads but they seem inclusive about the IRD cassettes - though a tad worrying. I will be keeping the componentry that they remove from my bike so I can always go back to where I started from but I do think it's worth a try and I don't know where else I can get 32T in a 10 speed cassette.

No worries. For what it's worth I think the M7 path is great.

Haha! Yes I sleep but not in 8 hour chunks. More of a 4x2 person.

My life is spread across Germany, Australia and Canada at the moment, and I have to suffer overnight conferences too.
