Thanks I'm located in Pretoria though, so I'll ask around a bit

Thanks! Does anybody have pricing on those R2M's?

this is crap.

sal daai ergon's help vir die hande wat so doodgaan? ek het gister op 'n langerige trippie gegaan en die hande word so lam soos nog iets. as dit werk, maak dit seker nie saak hoe dit lyk nie?

bastards!

Bicycling is the better mag, IMO

What are they charging for the Felt?

duh - he's french!

Fantastic - good luck guys! I'm only getting my new bike on the 31st or I would've joined. I will be there in spirit!

Perhaps the organizers should post the full details again for those who haven't been following the multiple threads...

YAY - now I can understand it too

OK this seems useless

Thanks

I am buying the Merida MATTS Sub 60-V next week after careful consideration and testing. I will reccommend this bike to anybody starting out as it has the minimum specs that you can have fun with for quite a while before neccessary upgrades. Expect to pay around R4200 if you strike a deal with your LBS for accessories etc - well worth the extra R700 though. The Merida range has pleasantly surprised me and I would reccommend either the MATTS TFS100 or TFS300 if you don't want to go that high.

Wat dink julle van tubeless vir beginners - moet mens sommer straight daarmee begin of eers bietjie punctures fix vir 'n rukkie?

Yeah, it seems that all of this has just escalated dramatically in the last few weeks and it's damn scary. Let's wait and see then.

Unbelievable!!! I think a protest ride is a fantastic idea.

i did not know him at all, but it's nothing short of super tragic. my condolences and prayers of strength to the family.

Looking at those charts - I am really glad I live in Pretoria and do not have to be subjected to that kind of torture. Enjoy it though!

hey there. go ahead and read the advice I got under Mechanical vs Disc Brakes in the Tech Shack - if you can't start off with hydro disc brakes right away rather go for V-brakes and do the upgrade / buy a new bike later when you've got the bucks. also, worry more about the level of the components on the bike than staring yourself blind against the suspension (not that it's unimportant!). if you want to do anything cool with your new bike, you're gonna have to have Shimano Deore componentry all round, at the very least. but hey, i'm still new too so let's hear what the big cats say.

oh gosh flippin' golly she sure is pretty, paw...and that model isnt bad lookin' either!
