The Kuahara KZ-01 and KE-01 were the choice of Extra Terrestrials back in 1982.Originally Posted by hawk
PK ripper was the beez but if you had one of these you in the cool crowd.
They were a good cheap race bike that sold like hot cakes on the back of the ET movie.

Anna Meares is the greatest Australian female athlete of the past 50 years.
Discuss.
easily.
she got steamrolled by some **** on a training ride, laid up in a brace with a busted spine, then came back and blew away victoria pendleton - who is one of the greatest sprinters of all time, at her home olympics mind you
add that to the rest of her palmarès and there you have it. a dominant feature in a cut-throat sport, for longer than your ****ing dawn frasers or whatever.
war anna meares
legend
Yeah this issue came up at our bi monthly 'women in sport round table' ('twas actually just a few lads sitting round having a beer). My unfettered love for Anna is well known amongst my mates as is my hate for Dawn Fraser (long story).
The only other name that warrants it was Karrie Webb who was by far the best when in her pomp but I argued Anna's career has gone longer and with her added setbacks made her better. Once Webb got overtaken she fell off the earth.
We couldn't even come up with a 3rd place.
Also if she doesn't carry the flag at Rio I'm going to set fire to AOC headquarters.
3rd place would have to be a swimmer (no, not Rice), e.g. Susie O'Neill, Sam Riley etc
we've had a couple of good female surfers over the years too.
Yep, good point.
Layne Beachley was a name thrown up. We gave her 4th.
Heather McKay came 3rd in our rankings.
Tracey Wickham > Dawn Fraser.
I had never even heard of Heather McKay but clearly her record speaks for itself, geez
Possibly the greatest cycling video ever
That was pretty good. Down side is that apparently I'm even more of a princess with my bike than I realised.
Sad that he suffered a spinal injury in a trials exhibition before filming finished and another rider had to complete it for him.
The first video was insane as well.
How he holds the wheels together I will never understand. my Mtb wheels stand up to much less, and my roadie wheels......they imploded riding up a hill last weekend. Speaking of which, anyone got a nice set they want to sell.
danny macaskill's bit in that is ****ing INSANE
re wheels - i ride mavic CXP-22s and i brutalise them on sydney roads. they can only be stopped by removing the head or destroying the brain
what brand are you riding? carbon?
Jacqui Cooper?
The skill of the person building the wheels is far more important than the components used to build it. In general factory built wheels are usually woeful and the majority of shops couldn't build a wheel to save their life.
Most common problem I've found with factory built wheels is the complete lack of spoke tension. Some are so bad you can hear them rattle when they aren't even under load.
