LAWD HAVE MERCY!

Herder, dis so nice foto ek maak dit sommer my desktop background!

I saw those ja... I was looking at the white On ONe Inbred frame with the same fork you have...maybe that Monoque fork (looks cool), with some bling to add like this: http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/SASMGKIT/selle-monte-grappa-charleston-saddle-kit

Would love to get something like this https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/melville/mountain-bike-cotic-simple-29er+medium/1001840694040911061601609

Link is dead, this one? http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/carbon-mtb-rigid-tapered-fork I see it's tapered? I wanted to bring in an On-One Inbred, but those are straight steerer. See there's some cotics in the classifieds too.

Rigid or soft fork? Dankie

Sounds to me like most of the times the sellers are the problem in this regard. As a buyer I think you should change your approach on shopping for a bargain. Here's a few scenarios: The call "Hallo Piet, I see you selling your Cannondale carbon Scalpel for R25K, Listen...I've got the cash in my hand and I live in the same city and I'm already sitting in my car...I can be at your place in 10 minutes. Can you give me your address please? Shot, I'll be right over boet" The visit (scenario A) Thanks boet, here's your money. Sorry about you aunties heart transplant you have to pay for. It's a pity you have to sell your bike to help her, but its admirable. Good luck to her and to you" The visit (scenario B) "Chom this bike looks nothing like the pictures on the interwebs....It's not even carbon. R25K vir die stuk kuk...jys bedonnerd man!....Cheers!"

Strue, but those are chafing marks I'd be happy to have.

Thanks I've had Alu and I've had carbon. I read a lot of good things about steel, but have never ridden one (well probably when I was a laaitie). Just scared I'm going to get a steel frame and the thing is going to be so heavy I wont be able to drag it up a hill.

I have a question...maar eers 'n storie hier van my stoep af met 'n bietjie koffie in die hand. I started cycling few years back. My main goal was to do a marathon event. Trained like a machine....solo. Then I started riding with my mates and the Strava segment bug bit...man I raced everything. Later on with all the upgrades the money dried up and the friends became fewer, mostly because we started getting pissed off at each other fighting over KOM's, crazy I know. I lost my interest in cycling sold my MTB and got a roadbike to do some fitness riding/cruising (up and down in our one tar road here). I really want to get back into trail riding again, honestly...ek verlang na die oop vlaktes, die berg paaitjies en die "Oh, I wonder where this trail leads to" type riding. I've been thinking of getting a steel SS, do away with all the distractions (Strava, gears, shifters etc) and just gooi. Is this a good idea, what if I decide to rekindle my ambition to do the Trans, I would probably have to buy a groupset, then I might as well just buy a decent geared bike right now? Dankie kerels
