My first awe-sub-liminal road bike!

Yep that's the colour I was thinking. VERY nice!

Mine's grey/black/white, with new blue tape It's a subzero pro, but an older one, not the current all-carbon model. I'm still getting used to it but I'm very happy with it. Just want to get fit enough to do it justice!

Hey SubE..I see you visited Malaga Cycles Great bunch of guys there and very helpful!!!

I used to work in Subi & got to know many of the side streets on my rides which made life so much easier! I'm not fond of riding up Rokeby road etc. Have you tried riding down to Claremont & over to City beach via Perry lakes? Bold Park is good too!

Another thought I just had..CRT does group rides from Brew-Ha & training for newbies.. www.crtwa.com.au Speak to lindsay (lindz) to see when the next skill sessions start.

Just remember to keep left, watch what other cyclists aren't doing & have fun!

hilldweller- I also need to do the sub proud, but it's such motivation having a nice bike!

crazy canuck- I checked out the CRT sessions but unfortunately I work in subi on sat! Booo! But maybe when I get better I could go on some rides with them.

Funny thing is I was driving back from Floreat today and went past Bold park and thought it would be a nice ride. Steep hill up to the entrance though.

I'm thinking of following the river around this weekend going up through king's park then onto south perth and around the river coming back past the belltower and along mt's bay. Embarassing as it is I don't even know how to change a tire so i'm just hoping nothing goes wrong. I do have a phone-a-friend option though if necessary.

I haven't got clipless pedals though because I'm naturally clumsy but once I get the gist of riding then I will be back to Malaga Cycles for some. Jason and his team there are fabulous! They aren't close to my house but they are just so great. I think he did a great job of fitting the bike!
