  1. Very very pretty, but I still take my 2012 Giant TCR SL ISP at 6.8kg. Now have R100k to invest to fast track early retirement.
  2. I don't know what I am talking about re design of full sus MTB's brand vs brand BUT the finer details on the drop outs reminds me of my Mongoose HT Also the welding detail looks very much the same
  3. I've done 4 Sani's with a HT and it was only eina in a few sections, mostly in those plantation single tracks. We were racing in our age groups and doing pretty well. My partner also on a HT, but a 29er. He tried a Lauf on year 2 and found it challenging I think do-able on a good spec Gravel Bike, but you might want to take a slower approach, even on 40-45mm tyres.
  4. Text book case of rule 5!!!! Well done!!!
  5. Tramadol and alcohol don't mix well.
  6. True, but to win the Worlds across the 3 disciplines do take some doing!!!
  7. Hubbers I have a perfectly good bib lycra wise, but the chamois totally disintegrated over time. Italian brand nogal. A lekker 3/4 thermal jobbie. Then have ones where the lycra has gone, but the chamois is still good. Where can I get some surgery done to transplant the useable chamois? I life in/near the Bemoerde Triangle... Yes, I'm stingy...
  8. What about Cx, Road and XCO next weekend? Only one other rider did - Pauline FP in 2014
  9. Triple day made for me, 1- Remco dropped, 2- MvdP wins, 3- Wout 2nd!!
  10. Snap, 1986 1st year! Could have helped with 3rd year reactor design!!!
  11. Looks like a 'crosser circuit!!! All the better for those hard accelerations out of the corners. Come on Wout/MvdP.
  12. I immensely dislikes being ripped one by paying >R500 for tape, let alone R500!! Take the drive to Kempton (Clint's shop) and have a look. Nice selection Giant makes a decent quality at a decent price
  13. One of the 3 'crossers in stripes will be just perfect!!
  14. Many kids on ritalin for school performance, and then studies....and then workplace???? Slippery slope
  15. Gauteng Worlds on the usual November slot
  16. I see the watch is more worth than his wife's wedding band. That is <0.2 carat. :-)
  17. Marginal gains looks more "realistic" from zero... Unless you want to market/sell something!!! Zoom is your friend.
  18. Nah, seems Tommeke was right all along 🙂
  19. WHAT A TT!!! Jonas on the edge the entire time!!!
  20. Since we are no more than funriders, a balanced meal with the occasional beer and/or choccie binge is more than enough. + Coffee and red wine for those anti-oxidants....
