What sort of riding do you do ?: Commuting, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking, Recreational, Whatever

Where in Sydney do you live ?: don't know yet - will be working at USyd from Jan09 - hurray!

Tell us about your bikes: Wilier Izoard, Campag Chorus, Mavik Aksiums - the weekend Ferrari - a 'fair weather' cycle if ever there was one. starts sulking if there's a cloud in the sky.
Genesis/Ridgeback Day02 - replacement for much-cherished Specialized Sirrus (nicked) - started out well, but Tiagra is cranky, the Contis are just not street-wise enough and frankly not impressed by the bike at all. anyone want one?
Dreadful MTB which i fall off with great regularity - it weighs about 30 kilos, so fantastic for leg strength, um ...

About Me:: no mid-life crisis so far - just well mid-life. cycling keeps me sane, alert and in shape. Looking forward to moving to Sydney/Oz from Nottingham, UK. have had enough of 11 month winters, euro-centric whingeing, negativity generally. got three kids and a partner from the south of france who has waited 18 years for a change of climate, if not climate change. hoping that serious urban commuting is possible/feasible in Oz - v dangerous here in the UK. fingers crossed.

Just wondering whether you took your bike back to the manufacturer's agent to get them to sort out the death wobbles problem. If mine is not totally resolved, I think that I will take it back to Trek, either via my lbs or direct.
