Today I met a man on a bike: www.bikevsworld.com
I would have been more impressed if he was using an old bike, but each to his own.
In Tennant Creek I have a 1992 Diamondback mountain bike that I bought new. Recently I replaced the wheels/tyres, chain, brakes, stem/handlebars/gearshifters/brake levers with parts from a 2001 Apollo mountain bike.
...Photos coming soon...
In less than 100km I had three punctures from thorns that are around here. I have bought and fitted a pair of thorn-resistant tubes, but have not yet reached a verdict on their effectiveness.
Entirely OT, but I met a teacher of English who uses the word "brang" as the past tense of bring.
FYI:
