New Exposure post up from today’s crits.

On the weekend, my friend Max rode up Coach House Drive and Woodlands Way over and over until he had climbed the height of Mt Everest. What a legend!

I rode the Kona to the top of Mt William on my way home from Melbourne this week. Baby's first HC climb!

I wrote a thing about the campout a few weeks ago and it's on the shop blog now ✌

One from a camera that subsequently died. Ham and Pat at Mulch Hill a few Thursdays ago, just when Summer was first staring to poke its head out!

The weather could not have been any better for the latest edition of the Treadly Adventure Club - the Mount Crawford Campout! Inspired by the Swift Campout we did a few months back we went up to Mount Crawford for the night via the back roads of the Adelaide Hills. Once my film gets developed I'll post some more!

A build from last week: old roadie frame, powdercoated and fully rebuilt by us. My favourite detail is this bar wrap, I've never been able to get the Brooks Cambium tape to cooperate but I managed to get this as close to perfect as I've ever been I reckon. This is how you do a fixie conversion!

The #CITYCERVELO in all its glory. Cervelo T1 frame/fork/seatpost, S/A front hub and Velosteel Coaster rear hub to H+Son Eeros, All City 612 Track cranks, Izumi chain, Brooks Cambium saddle and matching grips, Velo Orange stem and bars w/ Spurcycle Ringer bell, and Schwalbe rubber.

Easily my favourite photo to come out of the #boucledeburbs this year (not mine), Joss had us build the #citycervelo which was by far the coolest, silliest bike we've built this year, and he rode it with this beautiful girl on his back all day.

Hayward Drive, Mt Osmond.

A few from the Boucle on the weekend! Forgive the bad crops and lack of cleaning up, my computer is on the blink so these are straight off the scanner.

Pulled apart the 105 derailleur that came on my Daccordi this week, bit of amateur drillium that I could certainly live without!
