Based on his comments(ASH), I take it you dont feel they were justified Where they riding this idiots? Photo evidence or not.

Thats another debate, would need the popcorn for that

Are you Durban based as well? Funny I'm going to see him this arvo as well. Ill ask him then

He is the guy that normally services my bike - He lives around the corner from me too I have thought about asking him - Just not sure how they feel aboiut "losing" business from me cause I do my own stuff? You reckon he would be cool with it then?

lol, no. Just dont get me started on renewable energy and disposable nappies

They need a crying on too, I would love to have a whistleing one too Im feeling depressed cause Dangle wont speak to me or retuen my PM

cBrunson will you be my friend?, even though Im not a "roadie"

Im so much of sorry, How bad of me Scolding accepted

Thats exactly what Im thinking, pay now save later. I would love to do it all myself(barring fork serviceing) If I had the time I would do all my mates bikes too(maybe they can pay to send me, lol. If only) With 3 bikes now - Its going to defiantly be a wise investment(Will the wife go for more money spent on cycling)

I trust that youre feeling better/or are getting better?

So much of anger & aggresion my dear friend, maybe keep the 50c and you call someone lol, I aint no hippie. If I could also afford a road bike I would - I like everyone, cant I just sit on the fence. Its all about cycling aint it

My wife bought me the Park Tools Blue Bible - Im scard/nervous I'll cock something up(even with a Engineering background) I need to be shown at least once Im thinking of just biteing the bullet, pay the R2500 and go see John Bornmen for this training course

Please can we not all argue, and all be friends Spread the love & the peace for all things cycling

All good It healthy debate as far as I see it. Im just waiting on a reply to the PM I sent you? Further to this I must add some great customer service - See I dont always moan Classic Eyes - Pavillion Shopping Centre(Durban) Corey Naidoo. What a pleasure dealing with a sales person like her, many quetions, emails and phone calls later. Me trying to save as much money as possible(as usual ) Bringing in the same frames that they had in stock that I sourced from overseas myself at a third of their price, She still gives me discount when I didnt even ask for it. This is someone that went completly the extra mile, granted I hope she gets more business for herself by me telling you of my experience. I got my Adidas Adizero Rx Ready with full prescription lenses. anti scratch, anti glare and transition lenses for only R1000(frame not included) this is after Rudy Project quoted me R5000 for just the lenses. So ive ended up only paying R2000 for the complete setup for me So anyone wanting to get full prescrption riding glasses/sunnies please see her. She also told me that they are doing an offer of full precription polarisd lenses for your sunglasses for +_R500(introductry offer)This will depend on your current lenses shape & frame shape too. See I dont always moan Credit due when its deserved I say

Damn skippy, I'll tell a bike shop what another shop is offering me. Thats retail business(cycling or not) - Match it plus 5-10% discount. I dont expect anyone to loose money or not make any maoney out of a sale. They shop that gave me the best price, I told them I would give all my further business too.I will, its taken me ages to find a shop like that. Its should be both from the start - Price & service(again thats the retailers should be offering from the start.) They shouldnt want me too take my business else where from the moment I walk into a shop(thats why they have margins)Ive just managed to save a thousand rand on a bicycle from saying shop A was selling it for X amount, the matched it and bettered the price I never forced anyone to do that, I mearly asked and stated something to them, I made myself clear from the moment I walked in there

It is a forum based site - So there is bound to be agreements & disagreements. "I" dont think anyone should take offense, or be offended by what other people say,you dont know them really for one thing. Things will always get heated, its inevitable. I take all things with a pinch of salt thats for sure Personlly I may get annoyed, but never aggresive Now F%&* O@$

You make so much of sense - I think im growing up to be just like you, lol

Where did it all go so wrong?

Best service Ive had too, cant fault them at all. No condecending arrogance & attitude as you would find from a lot of LBS. So much of helpful, even after many questions & phone calls. Two thumbs up

How much for that?

Its not just the helmets they are doing this with

I had a similar situation, the first time I rode on the roads here. Two guys in a white nissan bakkie tried to run me off the road cause I took exception to them cutting mme off and me almost going over my handlebars - I managed to catch up to them. One swift discharge of pepper spray into there bakkie had them coughing and spluttering their lungs out. That was the first and only time Ive ridden on the roads here, after commuting for 10 years in London

Will you be the one holding a red rose, so he knows who you are?

Sounds great - Free riding, just like I had in UK. Is it safe to ride on your own then, Is it in the forests where they had The World Downhill last year? I'll come soon, just getting my fitness back to where it was before I had bronchitis for two months
