NiteFlux - still in business?

Does anyone know if NiteFlux is still trading? I sent a warranty repair to them almost 2 months ago, via their automated returns system. It hasn't come back yet, but previous returns were pretty quick.They are not answering emails, the Adelaide phone number listed on their website (and in the Yellow Pages) has been disconnected.Unless they suddenly moved and forgot to tell anyone, I have a sinking feeling that the light isn't ever coming…See More

"Probably only of passing interest, but Andy from Fyxomatosis rode and documented Melbourne to Adelaide for the Tour Down Under. His blog covers his travels -- see parts 1, 2, 3, 4 from January this year. Lots of pics."

"Correct! It is 2.48GB/30mins, my mistake. It uses the Ambarella AVC encoder, 11Mb/s. The battery is completely enclosed, not interchangeable.  "

That is a seriously beautiful bike in the photos - what a lovely selection of bikes you have, I'm quite jealous! Do you have a photo of the Cyrene too? Hope to admire in person if I see you're bikes around the inner west.

+1 to what Naomi said.
Very beautiful bikes. I like the lighting, nicely framed and focused pictures.
Also noticed you have a mix of pedals types, are the speedplays the 'best' ?

They are awesome - thanks for adding! So have you built up the Koga and Surly yourself? I am in the process of putting together (another) bike - steel road bike frame fromthe early 90s (I think). It's going to be my first foray into Campagnolo:) But for 3 bikes you have the set I reckon. Wish I had spotted the Cyrene at Fitzs - quite unusual and much more tasteful than the usual black and red carbon around!

Thanks Rogers,
I've so far had SPDs + Platforms on a few bikes and find them pretty easy to get in and out, and becasue the 'wrong side' is a platform, I don't have scary moments.
I'm using a Look with another bike and I swear it's caused me to use up a few of my lives, plus clipping in at the bottom of a slope is something I'm yet to master.
Speedplays are next on my list, and I've never heard of Bebops until you mentioned them.
Time for more research!
