That’s me in the light blue shirt at the back. I saw you taking the selfie and probably a km afterwards I was dropped like a rock. Bonked so hard I thought of taking a nap on the shoulder of the guy next to me.

Hi Everyone, I would like to get a feel from people who have owned both brands before. What has your experience been with quality, longevity and comfort of the bibs? I've been cycling with the first ascent stuff for more that 12 years and have always been happy. But I've never tested anything else. So is it a case of ignorance is bliss and would it be worth it to try something else?

Hi everyone, I’m wanting to buy sprockets from Olympic cycles before the race in Greyton this weekend but I'm not able to get to Olympic cycles before then. Anyone at Olympic cycles today/tomorrow and going through to Greyton on Saturday willing to pick up the parts I need? It's a 10-12 sprocket kit. I'm doing the Brewery to Brewery

I agree, I grew up cycling at Van Gaalens and moved to Stellenbosch. Be ready for some climbing, those Magaliesburg mountains are hills in comparison. As Thermophage said, through the gate go up Irish to 7 or 8 then down Armageddon. I do it on my hardtail as well, and you can roll over everything. You are tired at the bottom after all the shaking but well worth it. Then go across the valley, up bosluis and go down firhut. Firhut is fun and flows lekker. You are welcome to send me a PM for more details or if I'm available then I can always join you for a ride

Thank you

Yeah I currently have a 36 on but it's cause I use the bike for commuting as well. When I hit Jonkershoek I realize very quickly that the 36 is probably my peak😂

Hi everyone, I’m looking to replace the smallest two sprockets on my cassette. Does anyone know where I can get some?

Shimano 12 speed, set and forget. Odd cable change but really such a simple setup. I’ve worked on some of my friends’ SRAM 12 speed stuff, you know cause I have 12 speed “experience “. What a frustrating process.

Very curious what the schooling fees bought you?

Great, looking forward to seeing the new models

So mooi ek kyk sommer twee keer.

Yebo, that's the one. What a sexy bike, slap some carbon wheels on and it's done.

Hahah definitely sick looking bike, unfortunately with my budget that cassette can pay for my entire shimano 12 speed drive train and some.

Will you guys be bringing shimano spec cyphers out? Like the original black on black cypher with XT stuff on. Sick looking bike

Hi Everyone, Im looking for these shimano flats or anything similar. Do any of you guys have some laying around?

Hi everyone, I’m looking to get the commuting shoes. Do anyone have them and know how we could get it into the country?

Hi everyone, I have a kids seat that we aren’t using. I'm based in Stellenbosch so whoever fetches it can have it

I’m not patient enough, who was the top 3?

Feite

Good read thank you. And what a beaut of a bike.

Sorry yeah I was a bit critical, I would agree, pop a Shimano groupo on and he'll have a fun ride

Well done on keeping the Friday mob at bay

Yap that’s me, can’t look past that asymmetric design. Looks like good value for money but yeah I want to get excited looking at a bike as well

I’m a massive Shimano 12 speed fan, so I'm usually biased towards Shimano. But the clutch is an issue and needs to be serviced as often as you change a babies nappy. Massive pain, so much so that I just don't cycle with the clutch on

Great, even me. Hopefully there would be some racing up to the base of the pass
