Dan go into Bicycle Express in town just off Pulteny St speak to Benson, know him from way back and he races DH, he can sort you out!!

goto Adelaide Hills Cycles in Mt Barker, any day but a monday, and ask for Matt.

tell him Ted sent you, and hell look after you.

matt is a downhiller/bmxer/skater/all round awesome guy.

i also use to work at that shop.

Hey mate, I've got a Mongoose Black Diamond Double that has done very very little work. It's got all the good bits. SRAM, haynes nines, hussifelt cranks, headset, bars, chaid guide etc,etc. 8inches of travel from memory, easy to crank due to the suspension design. I'd only want around $2k for it. If you're interested in having a look give us a buzz on 0439685079

Here is a link to the 2007 model, mine is 2006 but has pretty much the same stuff

I may have missed something here so feel free to correct me but the new model is only $1999 RRP and cheaper again if you know someone.

Mine was selling for over $3750 at some places. That $2000 on the site is $US even with the exchange rate as good at it is, bikes seem to retail over here for 75-100% more again. Same with MX stuff.

I think it's a 2005 model, didn't realise I've had it that long, price drop $1750

review/specs HERE

Anyway I'm not hear to haggle, if anyone is interested please let me know, price is negotiable. It's a very well spec'd for it's rrp

Edited by Race__24

well i ended up with a norco good price for wat its got http://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/downhi...vity/atomik.php

any one here ride an maybe wonna go hit up a hill soon. maybe in couple weeks wen i hopfuly fit enough again an pull my balls bak out of my draw

I might be up for a ride one day, nothing too serious. Like a trip up to Bennets or something. I'd only be able to manage a couple of runs these days, too unfit and it's a looooooooong walk back up. Belair runs might be a goer as well, catch the train back up. Never done it as yet.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
