What does a buyer for cash Convertors do? Isn't it a pawn shop, thus people bring you goods - Or did you just access the goods to see if they should be bought? So,if cash convertors bought the goods, they should have the thiefs details to pass onto the police? If not there is something dodgy going on!

I would say enough to make a differance, yet we as a community will never make a united stand(Its one thing I really admire about local Aficans, they now how to band together)

Ive found South Africans to have become the most "class" and materialistic obsessed nation in the world

I think we need to toyi toyi

South African consumers are from my experiance of world travels the worst. We all moan but dont do anything about it. We just complain ,sit back and take it up the arse. Instead of actually doing anything . My Local Bike store(I now mostly support CWC & CRC anyway) will not get 1c out of me, (not even a valvecap.) We all know what the prices should be, yet still we get taken for a ride(no pun intended). Even after the whole price fixing scandal we still pay the ridiculously inflated prices

Where is a picture?

I would have to agree, they are ridiculous for what it actually is.When u compare it too a car & motorbike, also the depreciation value is also mental. Why is it, even to service a bicycle costs more then my car(and thats my parts included)

I love that song, reminds me of my time in Londres,

I got about halfway, thinking whats this about, Did it make any sense?

So true

So true - maybe we meet half way, somewhere with clean air. Another reason not to live in Joburg -Gosh I would have been smoking more like 40 a day then. Dont know how people cope with it

We all know you dont run, more like run skip run skip

My thoughts exactly - What person takes the time to join a site then post soemthing like that - SPAMMER

We will also only come if you teach us too run like yourself?

What the hells this about - Very Random

I'll just come straight to Joburg(on a plane or by car) - Give you some motivation as well.

Covie - stop the smoking now? Then ride to Joburg to hook up with Dingle Dangle and then ride with them for a week then ride back to Cape Town, you will have stopped the smoking and not put weight on

Not sure really, I dont just cycle though. I also do cross training - Mix up your exercise program a bit - It will always help to change from your normal routine. Do some running and light weights as well, maybe some aerobics classes if u go to the gym

Nice work there chris, I see you havent smoked and lost 4 kgs - Im three weeks tomorrow and Ive lost 3kgs - Down to 81kg now

Ok now thats some research, you even made a table up. Good going Depends what kind of riding you plan to do and how often you want ride? Be weary of bikes sold on Gumtree, just my 2c but they could more then likely have been stolen(is used) there are lots of decent bikes around in your price range

One last thing before I go, lets rather use this thread for positive things and the encouragement of those that have stopped smoking or any bad habit for that matter. Lets make it a celebration rather then a beratement

For sure - there will always be guys that will do a dodgy deal for a quick buck, its a total genralisation here but I dont think Pawn shops owners have been the straightest of business owners. Then again he could have known it was stolen or at least suspected it was, which then makes him an accsesory to the theft???

Sorry for the pressure, by I now believe its my civic duty to hound you. No hard feelings.

Covie you must stop - Do it, just do it. Do it man, doooooo iiiiiit. You know you want too?

I would say they do have to give it back, they are handleing stolen property? There is supposed to be a period of 7 days or something along those lines beofe it should be sold(I could be wrong on that)
