About

My Name is Mark McIntosh, but everyone calls me Macr.
I was born in Western Sydney and grew up in Baulkham Hills. I then joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1989 and have subsequently lived in the following places:

RAAF Edinburgh, SA
RAAF Wagga Wagga, NSW
RAAF Williamtown, NSW
RAAF Tindal, NT
Hamilton, NSW
Bar Beach, NSW
Merewether, NSW
Mayfield, NSW
Mawson, ACT
Fadden, ACT

Hackett, ACT

Rockingham, WA
Mawson Lakes, SA
Harrison, ACT

My main interests lie within exploring Australia, via whatever means I have available, including:

Motorbiking (Adventure/Enduro)
4WDing
Hiking
Camping
Photography (Especially, Australian architecture).
Kayaking
Cycling

I am also a bit of a geek at heart, so enjoy lots of geeky things. Finally, I enjoy Australian history. Predominantly from the First Fleet, to the early 1900s.

Bicycles

I have owned a few bikes over the years, some of which are:

1994 Diamond Back, Response Sport (Photo is from the same bike, but it has been modified);
GT LTS;
Wheeler 5900 (Custom build);
Apollo, Roadie (Not shown below);
Bianchi Roadie (Not shown below);
ProBike Roadie (Not shown below);
Santa Cruz Bullitt (Not shown below);
Giant XTC (Not shown below);
Giant Anthem X1 29 dual suspension mountain bike;
Redline Monocog 29er;
Muru BNT (Bicentennial National Trail) mountain touring bike (Custom build);
Surly Krampus 29+ mountain bike;
Giant Yukon pub bike;
Wayward Bikes, Oodnadatta Expedition;
Malvern Star, Oppy S3;
Vitus, Sentier; and a
Focus, Aventura 2 6.8

Most of this bike, including the paint scheme, is the same as my original bike. Main differences that I can pick out, are as follows: * Different stem * Different Saddle * Different handlebar grips

These were the first clipless pedals that I installed on the Diamondback. Look S2 Nevada's. I bought these from Universe Cycles (Parramatta), in the early 90s. Most likely 91 or 92. I knew clipless would be the future and have clipless on every bike since.
