  1. hi Johan that trigon looks awsum. where do you get one? Do they sell just the frame?
  2. OLympic cycles also sell trek @their THule store next to them
  3. Adri has worked on my bike before when he was at cyclelab and he knows his stuff. I think some of the best mechanics work from home because they can and not because they cant find a job. You will often be surprised as to how many bike shops send work to the home mechanics to do.
  4. Lately i have been noticing the same people selling lots of bikes in the classifieds on the hub. Some of them also on gumtree. Just wondering where they getting all their stuff from.
  5. Score.: Sons 3. Daughters 0
  6. PPA had adopted a different way of working out indices for the past year our so. I think that they have dumped all the results from the older sytem. We can all remember all the threads complaining about members best ride`s not getting a good index with this system and they not moving up. i think changing the group ranges should hopefully compensate for the fact that you simply get a higher index for the same ride on the new system.
  7. look in the classifieds there is a well specced niner for R31k
  8. well done to you. i thoroughly enjoyed myself today. i rode the with my son on his first 30km event and was it fun to see him moan and groan
  9. Did you actually bother to read the whole thread? If you did then you would have gone and measured your bikes standover height and added something positive instead of just touting your products.
  10. there was only something like 15 that 2011 that came in to the country there appears to be worlwide shoratge of these. anyway what side you looking for?
  11. You must give Greg Solomons @Olympic Cycles a call. He has a ladies specific xs anthem. He also xs trance but I dont think its ladies specific.
  12. Anyone that doubts that Alberto will be on the podium are nuts. it wont be easy for him to get 1st. The mountain stages will be different this year. Contador will have to attack this year unlike last year when he toyed with Andy to attack him. EXCITING!! Last year Alberto lost time in Roubaix also. I dont think it was fair that he lost extra time and Andy lost nothing. Andy has WON how many grand tours or even one week races? A big fat NULL. He may end up being someone who had the potential but never delivered. Point being Berto knows how to win,even if he has bad days and a weak team. Pschologically he is much tougher than Andy and he fired his first salvo at Andy on the Mur Bretagne. To all the evans fans he will crack in the 3rd week. I like jurgen van de broecke for the podium also. Voeckler is simply one feisty rider.
  13. The cops there also work on the premise that you cant come back there and defend yourself since it would simply cost you too much, so you just end up paying the fines by the time you get a summons. Does it not all boil down to intention after all? putting a false number plate on your car to avoid paying fines is quite different to having your own plate on the rack albeit the wrong one.
  14. @Johnw I think you are right, I also get the impression they target tourist during oyster festival an d holidays to boost their coffers. @the rest of you. A R2500 fine for this is crazy. I dont think Johnw would even have started this thread if he got charged R500. I would be upset too.
  15. You get a NEW bike from the bike shop in less than a week and you call this a negative experience!! The shop took responsibilty what more do you want? Obviously no mechanic would take responsibility for this,let alone the supplier. That scratch is right on the top tube it wouldbe difficult to miss. I am surprised your brother in law did not see it when he put his bike on his bike rack.
  16. With all these positives for clenbuterol I reckon now they should just drop the case against Alberto.
  17. I know how you feel and I only did the 50.
  18. you just have to download form and enter manually. how difficult is the 50 gonna be for someone who is noty terribly fit at moment?
  19. do any one know if its possible to run x9 2x10 as 26\42?
  20. Thanks bro. you been training?
  21. I will definately be slower on climbs with the 5kg i have picked up. I thought Grabouw here I come but my son as a rugby match so no go. I still have my alma with the Aerozine crank. Since I could not get reasonable offers for the X9/ elixir cr group I had for sale i will put it on this bike and take these parts off tommorrow.
  22. What i want to know is if I run 42/28 with a 11-36 cluster how many gears easy gears would i loose vs a triple crank? would 39/26 be better?
  23. I finally succumbed to all the marketing hipe so I bought me one and sold my 26er. Frankly I dont care if it makes me faster or slower, it simply looks cool.
  24. Just like mine but it does not help at all.
  25. I am thinking about whether I should get 29er. Could you guys tell me how tall u are and what size/make 29er bike u got
