  • 豪キャブラリー：Rockmelons

    Rockmelons can be a bit of a trap for young players, because it’s a Strine saying for a fruit found pretty much all over the world. Note the distinctive orange texture of the rockmelon flesh. This distinguishes it from the cantaloupe Europeans eat, musk melon preferred by the Japanese and Americans and spansek found in southern Africa.

Never making a hefty wage and plagued with a dad bod from the age of 6 onward, I’ve never been keen on forking out the huge sums that brand-name manufacturers demand (and get) for their Lycra lineups. Necessity being the mother of invention, I soon found out that I could get customized cycling wear not only at a fraction of the price the real makers…
