Edition 507

Someone stole the road, or at least a helluva big chunk of it. What does one do with a 10 meter square piece of road?

The guy was cross training

Ja, probably those colords people

So BigH, are you a pile driver?

Tough sh*t man!! Whoops, serious wrong choice of words Tough luck man, sympathies, and I hope you will be able to ride Sunday!

That's quite an improvement from the first one1978 - 446 finishers 1980 - 1119 1981 - 13721982 - 1347 (slightly less than previous year)1983 - 1st/1829?? 2:411984 - 2nd/2023? 2:48 1988 - 6th/8707?? 2:40Those are results of Francois du Toit, competed in the first ever tour in 1978, won in 1983 and is still kicking ass today!Im sure he can tell you loads about the changes in bikes & equipment he has experienced but that Pinarello Prince remains a beaut!<table id="table2" style="border: 1px solid rgb148, 160, 147;" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="100%"><t><tr><td ="tbtwo" align="center"></td><td ="tbtwo" align="left"></td><td ="tbtwo" align="center"></td><td ="tbtwo" align="center"></td><td ="tbtwo" align="center"></td></tr></t></table> Very interesting how the Argus almost grew exponentially to the point where it has to be capped due to logistics and safety. It reflects how cycling has grown in popularity, from being a very selective sport to being one of mass appeal.

In those days the Argus was just picking up in popularity in Cape Town but was practically unheard of in JHB. Travelling 1400 k's to do a 3hr fun ride was considered insane. Nowadays, the number of people travelling from all over the world to do this fun ride is insane

Got this off Racetec. The results from my first Argus. Check the total number of finishers!!! Geez, I think some of the lower order groups are that size alone these days 1984/03/31 The Argus Cycle Tour 104 03:18:47 151/2023

Here's a blast from the past. Me on the far left riding an 1983 ALAN with toe straps nog al. Still got the bike. Did a 2:43 on that bike way back in my youth

Rather than swearing, I would rather take God's or some other fictitious religious figures name in vain

She's only just got to africa' date=' and already her lips look like pootoo smackers!!![/quote'] ? I actually know a girl with lips like that! Do you know Angelina Jolie??

This thread stinks

To be honest, I have never needed one of these, the stock standard cable tie from Builders has always worked for me.

Excuse my ignorance JB, but what would you use these for on a bike?

These ones:http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=39752 Yep, thats the one! Bought some myself recently and they work perfectly, even at 180psi which is what I pump my tubbies to

Don't put fake Cannondale stickers on, put then real thing on and dramatically increase the resale value of your bike

I hope they are quite snappy about it! Oops, wrong choice of words. I hope they prioritize the job in good time for the Herald this week-end

Is Tesco a late night store?

My bottle slips through the bottom of my less than secure carbon cage, particularly when full and on bumpy roads. It rubs on the down tube in a very similar spot as your picture. Fortunately my frame is Ti so no damage.

Nice one dude
