Thats where I live ,in the Hinterland. People have gone missing in the swollen creeks out this way today. Mudgeeraba is terrible for flooding. Most houses are in the hilly areas though. Theres a skatepark there that would have been a nice pool today!

I am devistated.
Firstly I must say that I feel for all the residents in the areas that have been affected by the rain/flood of northern NSW and Gold Coast.
My problem only extends as follows.
I found a chromer in Lismore (hit very hard by flood) and picked up my profile crank arms and bars the other day.... mint finish.
However because I was so pleased with his work I left my hutch deep H stem, a pro neck sprocket, my hutch 2n1 stemlock, bullseye hub washers and profile crank bolts and washers.
I believe that I will never see these again.
Back to ebay I go.
Cheers

Shane at Cycle scene trued my wheels. Chrome 7x new with polished bullseye hubs, radial laced front and half rear.
Its comming along awesome.......... and I only had to find a hutch seat clamp and its done...... but now I have more to find.
I will ring the shop next week.... once the flood waters have gone to see if the shop is o.k and mabey my parts will still be there.
My friends house is 12 inch deep with water.... total mess and a big cleanup to come. When you look at it like this, some bike parts are no big deal..

Freestyler :
Please send more pics, closeup of rear dropouts, and 'above view' of the chain stay, so we can see what style/shapes the frame has, then we can compare to various pics'n'magzines to help you out ;-)
Reduce your pics by 50% too hehehe

Any image editor will do it.....even a freebie like Irfanview will do what you need.

There ya go, i never got into 1983+ bikes so i didnt recognise it ;-) cool trevvy.
Freestyler : Just about *any* picture editing program will allow you to resize your piccies, even the built in windows 'paint' program.
There's usually always an 'edit' or 'image' menu in these programs, and then some options to rotate/resize/adjust colours/special effects etc etc.
Choose 'resize' then choose 50% and see how u go.

It's called stretch and skew in paint. Adjust pics to 75% or 50% and they'll be fine.
