Well to credit you all, this thread was Pinkbikes greatest research resource lol

I'm the wrong person to answer this as I've never been to Geelong so I'd just be parroting information from Trailforks, however gravel is pretty popular in Victoria and Geelong is basically at one end of the Great Ocean Road, which is a very popular road cycling route, if that kind of thing tickles your fancy.

Some of Falls Creek's trails run through old growth mountain ash forests which are very scenic.

brace yourself... at the end of the year, we're going to lock this thread. while it's been amazing (thank you all!) and fun that we hit 1000 pages and over 7.5m views, this thread is a logistical and technical resource hog. it's also not easy to access older information. while there are a lot of upsides to the ease and convenience of posting to this thread, the downsides are outweighing the ups with it being so massive. please start a NEW thread to the hub for anything that has potential for legitimate discussion. good posts will be homepaged and the...

650b, 700cc, so that means 750ddd right?

All the above probably did pretty ok, likely as their wares aren't something more common or necessary. There was little need to rush to meet demand. Velocity would be interesting since they definitely had a rocking business during the #fixieboom. How they fared after the #fixiebust going into C19 years would make for an interesting read. On a side note, I'd love for Velocity to update their rim profiles to better accept modern tubeless setups. Price wise they aren't all that out of line with the likes from the majors who source from X nation(s), making them attractive from cost...

@jeff.brines recorded some thoughts after listening to the Downtime show. Listen below.
