It will be tears of joy

I can just picture the youtube clip now, lol. I'm sure its possible up to a certain incline

I wonder if these are the bikes from the guys recently hi-jacked?

I think my bank balance just got lowered just from looking at it

That's the main reason behind this, I don't do zone training , its all about the fun element for me.

Thanks for the feedback, will look into that as well. Are you thinking along the lines of manually changing or something more along the lines of a running treadmill?

I can build it for virtually nothing, as mentioned I have more scrap material then I know what to do with. One of the chaps who works for me, his dad(Jonkie) built one and it was really easy. I just need to know which is better to use, the rollers or the stands. I have one opinion and that is to go the rollers route.

Wow, that is a thing of beauty :drool:

Bwah ha ha, I suppose I should have let her use it more then once. Would have saved me fortune in divorce lawyer fees

Even easier, let her use the TV remote once, worked for me once, only once.

Who takes over from Parcelforce in South Africa once it has landed, does SAPO take on the delivery? I can't blimmen remember

How did he come into possession of said bike?

While on the subject of beauty, http://youtu.be/8bVAl73JvLM

Was rather pleasant out Milnerton this morning, I did think of you while riding this AM.

That's not what I got from reading an article in Bike Rumour.

I'm sure you will be fine, just get enough training in between now and then. Everyone seems to be scaring the crap out of you. Take it easy, enjoy the ride and most importantly have fun.

The designing of it this weekend should keep me occupied

Having now done some reading, it is to do with weight saving while maintaining the "rigidity" or "stiffness" of the rotors.

So, I'm looking at making my own Indoor rollers or trainer stand, and was just wondering if any others have done the same thing? I have access to a lot of wood, ali and plastic so materials are not an issue. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Which is a better to use the rollers or trainer? I've had a look at a few ideas and they seem very, simple and easy enough too make. Here are a few ideas that I have found on the great interweb. http://www.instructables.com/id/Bicycle-roller-trainer/ http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Bike-Rollers/ http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Free-Motion-Cycling-Rollers/ http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/outdoor-activities/triathlons/training/bicycle-rollers1.htm http://www.instructables.com/id/Indoor-Bike-Trainer/

Looking at these pics,not sure how shiny they actually are?

Myself, they had the first one in Cape Town recently, and it was awesome I can't wait for the next one

Excuse my ignorance, but why store a bike for 12 years?

Oh no, not at all. I've been ordering from CRC for years, even when I was living in the UK back in the early naughties, I has just never used the DHL route before, so when they called me it took me by surprise.

I take it you're not a fan?
