  1. Almost 6000 euro for that Ti frame is a lot of money.The Anima seems to be a big hit on the Asian market though and not so much in Europe.

    What would you choose gummi? A Baum Correto frameset is nearly 10000 AUD $, slightly more than the De Rosa. Granted the Baum us custom built, but then again the De Rosa will surely increase in value over time. As opposed to the Baum.

  2. Keep your eyes on the classifieds. You can find a very clean Record 10 speed groupset for about R8 000. For 11 speed you may have to settle for Chorus or be willing to pay more. Sell the Ultegra to part fund the Campy. 

    As much as a Record 10spd is the best groupset ever it would be out of place on a C60. At minimum a C60 needs a Record 11spd groupset. The pre 2015 groupspets are cheaper but new parts are scarce in terms of deraileurs and ergolevers.

  3. Hey All

     

    At the end of last year I was at that “ I want a new bike stage “ which we as Nago owners means finding something better then you have which was for me a C60 or C64. OUCH . So then I said to my self I’m going to give my C59 a fresh look ???? . This is what I got back from Cliff and Lilian at CycleArt.... once again the Oom outdid himself thanks uncle .

    Stunning. Just remember we ride the same size frame ????

  4. Hey chaps and chapettes

     

    Im looking to get a new set of commuting lights for my new bike (old lights will now stay on the pub bike)

    Look nice and compact, usb cgargine etc

    I have these. Bought in 2016 and my rear light refuses to charge recently. Great lights lbut everything probably breaks. Front light is still working and charging. I have just ordered the new Smart drive Pro as a rear light.

  5. according to the podcast ballairs said it would be ready. but hey, who knows!

     

    the other whoopsie was the grandparade is still under construction, might be moving back to the original start/adderley street

    The taxi rank on the station deck is under construction and should be nearing completion. The Grand Parade is being used as a taxi rank.

  6. Interms of seeding, it really seems like dark magic. My Dido Hillclimb in 2017 was used for my seeding. My last 2 events was SCT 2019 and CTCT 2018. Beta for Dido was more than 2 with a penalty of 17 (owing to time) and SCT was 0.9 with penalty of 5. My guess is that race office is looking more at your best result or capability so as to push you up in groups as opposed dropping you to the lower groups because of lack of event participation. This could work both ways where some people are fit enough for their groups but have'nt done any events recently, alternatively you are unfit and seeded in a fast group due to older results. I was expecting a lower group because of SCT time with a mechanical but Im more than happy with seeded group.

  7. Hi Hubbers!

     

    I have a pair of white Giro LTZ II gloves which are now mostly black... mostly on the palms... I have given them a light scrubbing, chucked them in the washing machine, soaked them, etc etc etc, but still no joy.

     

    Are there any good cleaning products out there that won't damage the material? Thanks in advance!

    Try soaking them in a water with a few aspirins added. Another trick is using bicarbonate of soda added to your washing powder.

  8. January done. Only 331 to go. Need to get a wearable device with wrist hr to make things easier when my day is busy. I smeaked in an IDT session just before midnight on Friday. That was cutting it extremely close.
