El Saltemontes

I have the Argon Gallium pro. brilliant bike no complaints at all. Its also a better looking bike than the giant. ( my opinion only)

I had them do my MTB last Wednesday and the rode 85KM on Saturday in the wind, all previous aches and pains were gone, I highly recommend

Vets= between 40yrs and 50 yrs masters= 50-60yrs and you qualify during the year that you turn 40

If you are riding mtb and in muddy stuff take a look at the "Gore Ride on" cables. totally sealed and last forever. bit pricy to buy here (Capetown somewhere) but CRC have at a resonable price.

I hadn't heard of this site until reading this thread, When buying from overseas is it true you pay 35% duty on landing? What's the quality of the shorts? Padding? I'm normally a large (size 34 jean pant) what size should I order from this site?

dont let your better half know what you spend on your bike, then you can beat any time

Any one know if there is a weight limit for 29" American Classics, might have a chance of purchasing 2nd hand but i'm no light weight.

02.55 for the 7okm,(not to bad for a 53 year old) had a brilliant line sprint with another rider who stole it by 2/ 100th of a second, we'd been at each other for vertually the whole second lap.

Planet Cycle Corp. but as I said they do not have the agency anymore.

The Agents are now in the Strand. The carbon (XX)Alma must be absolutely unbelievable but out of my league (and weight, I,m 86kg) The seat issue is already sorted, that was just put on for the first ride

I paid only R5250 including delivery, but the agent who originally took the order (back in September last year), lost the dealership from Orbea, and I know he ended up doing me a favour with the price.

I have finally received my Orbea Alma 29er frame which I have put together with XT throughout. I am told it's the first of its kind in the country so guess i feel pretty privileged. I love the look and feel of this ride and boy can it climb.

I must admit that I'm a mtb'er that does a bit of road work (on a road bike.) Generally I find most people of both disiplines greet most of the time, especially if you greet them, even if it's a little nod of "yeh I know the pain you're going through." Some of the comments here are insighting the differences between the the two and we're are getting a rift between us. For those of you that think, you, with your fancy road machines are better and "above" the MTB'ers, and for those MTB'ers with the fancy offroading beauties, who think roadies suck. Hell get over it and remember we're all of the same opinion that weekends are for riding and that a little nod or howsit costs nothing. Oh , but remember not to throw down your gue packets, that sucks road and trail.

I went on to the orbea website which has a vidio of the method of fitting press fits, definately locktite

this is a great advert for stans
