What's this, shaft-drive? Or is it just missing the chain/belt to look sexier for the pic? Interesting suspension too.

The things we roadies have to do for MTBers, Done! Enjoy!

JB, did you actually go and grind those nipples quickly and take the shot and transfer it to your computer and edit it and post it? That's dedication. Unless you have shots of ground nipples just lying around, in which case it's just weird.

Except taking your steel road bike off-road to do some cyclocross. I think it scares people.

Not mine, but .... On Friday 23rd of August, at Woodstock Exchange, the Bicycle Empowerment Network (BEN) invites you to a unique Vintage Bicycle Auction. We are presenting 14 fabulous bikes, which have been fixed up and customized in cooperation with Woodstock Cycleworks and Ubuntu Bikes. From 4 pm there will be live music, beers, braai and bikes, and at 5 pm the auction begins. Come, and make sure to get hold of one (or more!) of these brilliant beauties!

Reg Lizard, you haven't mentioned the most important thing here: what brands were the bikes?

Sorry Wil6. RIP TItan - may be there be lots of lovely things to chase.

This is mind-blowing; to see death approaching and know it's coming for you and there's nothing you can do, because you decided to stay behind and film the tsunami ... A real film that's just been found. http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/shocking-new-japan-tsunami-video-found-released

I was going through this thread yesterday - truth is, I think I've avoided it 'cos I still miss my old Fresca, but nearly 5 years on I should get over myself - and Zoe sure got me all tearful. So lekker to see her settled and happy and doing doggy things. Thanks Mojoman!

It's as I feared: I'm a Hubber, not a real cyclist.

Left hand for rear, right hand for front ... and, I'm right-handed if that makes a difference. Of course, there is one bike that's the other way around, which makes for some interesting times ...

Too many porn pictures in one place! Sweet ride!

I would pay serious money for a retrodrive like that. Pedalling forward engages one rear cog; pedalling the other direction engages the other cog. So you get two ratios, one for flats and one for hills. Back in those days, your only other option was to flip-flop your back wheel, with a cog on either side.

A fascinating 1 hours watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXusKM5uX0s

Phooooar!

Phil's got a rather lovely steel Battaglin, as I recall. I met him in Stellenbosch - polite, self-deprecating, a gentleman.

Bugger. I was looking at my results the other day ... Cobra has been my fastest race ever!

Khalid, try Cash Converters at the station. My bike was 'jacked in the same area, disappeared into that dodgy area behind Clicks/Boulevard office park ... it ended up at Cash Converters. Also let Nils at Woodstock Cycleworks know, and Avron at Cycle Traders. BMC too.

Bike's too clean ...

Hellshoogte on an ss? That would be good.

They're intelligent enough to say, "Why should I pay 32c more per litre for petrol, plus parking costs, plus insurance when all I'll be doing is less than 10km and the car sits at work all day anyway? Who am I trying to impress? My co-workers?" Edit: Riddled with spelling and punctuation cock-ups. It's "friday", it's early ...

There must be plenty of old 42 blades lying around. I'm 42X18, but that's because 1) CT has hills, and 2) I'm 49, and way beyond Henri Desgrange's recommended SS age limit.

Alien tentacles! Look out! Look out! They're coming fo

Why is Frank Whaley playing me? Or am I playing Frank Whaley? I never can tell. So Frans must be Hansie's older brother ... otherwise he'd be Fransiejie.
