  1. Oh, Chilli Lane would be better
  2. I live in Vorna Valley, but count me in.
  3. Jeremy Martins (CSC) normally wears his sox very high. And you not a top Jnr Rider in Gauteng if you wear short sox. Oh and long sox must be worn with your addidas slops at prize giving.
  4. Azonic, I bought wheels from the same hubber, took a while to get them, but he did deliver after awhile.
  5. Don't be shy, Cervelo. Tell us how you really feel. Yes we can all blame the current government for their current policy's, but this is not new to South Africa. The previous government did the same. The difference is that now the current disadvantaged have a voice unlike the previously disadvantaged. The Habanan's of this world were not allow, never mind placed on a quota system of getting a bok jersey in the previous setup. For a person of a race group who simpliy never benefit from past or present government policy, will go on supporting what ever team is picked, be it for a darts team, a swimming team, a rugby team or soccer, what ever. And that makes me proud to be a South African this weekend. As for Cervelo, there are plenty ships, planes and roads leading out of South Africa. Best you pick one soon. For anyone to say what you said, needs to his head read. Shame on you.
  6. This why cyclist get a bad reputation from the public. If you listen to the radio in the mornings, the DJ's are also talking bad about cyclist because of stupid people like this. I think we clean up our act. Come cyclist, wake up.
  7. Most light frames dont last very long. Many people tend to want to buy the lightest frame but then put a 85kg body to pedal it. I will never forget when i worked in a bike shop, when this porker walks in with a kitchen scale. He wanted the lightest tubes. At first i thought it was joke. Some mothers children.
  8. I spoke to Shawn from the Chem Spec Pro Team last week. He said they are going big next year. The sponsor is happy with team and so they are expanding to get more riders. (ex Barloworld riders) Lets wait and see. We need a health pro racing set (Pro Tour) what eva.
  9. What tempo ride ? It was like been motorpaced by HRC (Marco - Honda Racing Corporation).
  10. Hey Christie, you guys are coming on strong as well. Good luck for rest of summer. Its gonna be harder and harder every week.
  11. Your road bike is safe. Its will always be a fun ride. Lots of people make plenty money from the format of the race. Nice route, just too expensive.
  12. Zaskar, take your fast wheels, skins suite and aero helmet, because its on when you get there. Balls to the wall, straight shots no kissing. Super fast.
  13. Yeah go ride with DvG, he will show you how to sprint.
  14. If you accept a job, do it to the best of your abilities. If you cant, because of various factors (not getting paid, live far from the top class racing or what ever else is now coming up), put your hand up and give the job to someone else you can. Are Erica and Cooper going to the World Champs as managers as well ?
  15. I would send all current SA Champions to the Worlds out of respect for being the counties champion. Lange would do much better than Perry any day. Because you ride for Barloworld means jack to me. As for Ronel, well that's just stupid in not sending her. Who ever selects our National Teams has clearly stuffed this one up.
  16. Bontragers are all factory built wheels. No short cuts.
  17. It's on my blog - 2nd Doug Ryder' date=' 3rd Mark Spencer[/quote'] In all fairness to Doug, he paced Freddie up the hill not knowing it was the last lap. Doug was so shocked when the lead car stopped after the line. He just looked at us asking why we are stopping, so James told him it was the last lap. He was not amused. Doug would have won, better luck next time.
  18. I had a different problem. Here goes. I raced BMX with white kids. And because i was a so-called coloured, the Non White Sporting Authories gave me sh*t. People would come up to my dad and tell him how bad he was to let me compete with white kids. So my dad would just smile and say, "hey his kicking their asses, so why dont you let your kid race, so Owen can kick their ass too".My dad did what Eugene did and said stuff you guys. I was selected for Natal Schools Rugby Team, but did not go to training. I was told by many that i was wasting my time because the authorities would find out and kick me out. Anyway, cut a long story short, Got my Springbok Colours for Bmx. How's this, after the new govt took over, I was sent Protea Colours. So I think i had the last laugh
  19. Well done Brad. Complete cyclist, can ride on the road, track and in Belguim.
  20. Well Done Mallo. At the Vets Tour in June, there were so very good PDI guys racing. A problem we saw that these guys need kit. The temp was sometimes 1 or 2 degrees. 101% wife got my team to donate old kit to them. I think if we all donate old kit to these guys, it will help lots.
  21. We were sitting at supper and we started on the new Treks. Marco said he likes the blue paint job. I said no, get the white one, it goes with your kit. But that Saturday nite ?????????????????????????? Well, come Sunday afternoon, ................................................ Yes, he has to get the white one because it goes with his white kit again.
