Right here's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

Slightly grey-haired, 'slightly' overweight middle age guy is coaxed into signing up for a ride (starting today) from Perth to Broome, http://www.tourxoz.com, by the company he works for who is sponsoring the event.

Middle age guy decides to go all out and on the 15th of April visits Avanti Plus and purchases a brand new, bells and whistles Avanti Giro 2, with Matt Black finish, flash clip on Shimano pedals, a Cat-eye computer and Shimano 105 gearing.

Walking out of there after splashing out near on $1500, smiling and ready to take on Lance Armstrong (before the blatant drug abuse).

Then comes the hard part..... actually riding the bike! After every excuse in the book, too tired, long hours at work, weather rubbish, just one more beer, the bike managed to travel exactly 60.2 km's (as pictured) over two rides in 5 months!!!! To say this bike is like new is an understatement..

FAT middle age guy, realises the error of his decision, and decides to throw in the towel and not attend the bike ride, much to the disgust of his Australian colleagues.

So here's your chance to take advantage of an over enthusiastic middle age guy, and steal this bike away from him.

Bike is based in Raumati Beach for pick up, or can be delivered into Wellington or the Hutt for $20.
