Just a quick update today because I’ve decided to limit myself to an hour online today. Hard to believe, I know. This long Easter weekend all that’s really happened here is a bit of further renovation to the kitchen, and a lot of extended lunches with friends. Noice!

For Team Thylacine however, it’s been a bit less laid back, with Brett and Erin taking out third place in the Mens’ Pro Pairs this weekend at the Chase The Sun 6hr out at Lysterfield. This is especially crazy considering Brett had only got back from a 3 week trip to China the previous day. See man, I told you a break would do you good!

Other bikey news this week is the 2007 Giro footwear catalogue has been posed on their website. I’m pretty excited about that coz I need some new shoes and like all things Giro, they look like they’ve been well designed. I’m not normally a ‘early adopter’, but as soon as these become available, I might snaffle up a pair.

In other Thylacine news, we’re currently totally under the pump with six frames on the go simultaneously these days, which means at this rate we’ll have a backlog which I never, ever, ever wanted to have. When you have a backlog, there’s this instant assumption that you must be in demand, rather than the reality of the matter is that you’re just under prepared and resourced. Our leadtime is still about 8-10 weeks these days, but with especially finishers taking their royal time these days, it’s especially difficult to keep things under 10, but as always we’ll keep you well informed and in the loop.

This week we should have some Ethers back from the finishers so we should have some good quality bike pron to share for a change. Watch this space.

   Hey hey, some credit to them - Chase The Sun was 8 hour, not 6 hour. The laid back 6 hour is next week But yeah, especially well done guys considering Bretts lack of sleep and Erins long full day on a bike the day before. It was interesting being passed by both Thylacine guys on the same lap

   Look forward to seeing one of the Ethers in the coming weeks

   6hrs…..8hrs……it’s all the same insanity, just more of it!

   Yeah, looking forward to the Ethers too. Erins one is back from the finishers so pix soon. He picked the boring silver colour (I suspect he may be colour blind), but I’m looking forward to seeing the Antique Bronze myself.
