Exploring Slanghoek valley.

You can get those yellow/amber lens sunglasses, e.g. Sportmax, from outlets like Pienaar Brothers at around R40.00. At that price you can buy a few pairs. The vision through these amber lenses is really good. I find it enhances my view - makes things clearer. Especially in shaded areas. They are my preferred option for riding MTB and road now.

Down to the beach we went...

Not my post, not my neighbour.

Up high in Paarl Mountain reserve. Truth is that I had to foot it up that last bit on the cement track.

Hi all I am looking for a seat mast topper, a.k.a. stubby seat post. Ritchley stopped manufacturing these. This is the description: The Ritchey WCS Mast Topper integrated seat post has been designed to be mounted on frames with the integrated seat post tube. Characteristics: - Material: Aluminum 6061 2 D - Tighten: 1 screw platform - Height: 70 mm - Weight: 115 g - Diameter: 38.35 mm - Recoil: 28 mm - Does not include clamping caps Does anyone perhaps have an old spare one lying around? I am specifically looking for the one with these specs: Height: 70mm Diameter: 38mm In the picture it is the one on the right that I am looking for. The one on the left has a smaller diameter, namely 34.9mm.

Greyton?

Used Courier Guy once with heartbreaking results. Package arrived the other end so damaged that it had to be thrown away. Franchise holders on both ends washed their hands off us. All calls and emails and visits to the offices at both ends were stonewalled. The package in question contained a birdcage - so not fragile at all. It took some doing to flatten that! Will never use this lot again!

Eish, not getting answered on their official landline number.

The exact specs for the Ritchley one that split, was: 70mm, 38.2mm, 8mm Offset This is for a Bianchi Methanol 29" SL Carbon with integrated seatpost (round).

Hi all I am looking for a stubby seatpost, 70mm. Ritchley, or any brand. Seems to be rare to find.

Around Paardeberg in a strong southeaster.

Lovely day for an excursion. Wellington. Hermon, Riebeeckkasteel, Malmesbury then back. Southeastern gave me a hard time coming back. Haaskraal Road Father and son, maybe? Ready for the harvest Coffee in Riebeeckkasteel The view from Bothmaskop pass Klipfontein https://strava.app.link/xIZ0VnV0HDb
