Mr. G

Hi I got mine on thursday evening, it has taken me the entire weekend to get used to it a bit more, but wow what a ride.I decided on it after riding one at the last "ride before you buy" and I was very impressed.Anyone else bought one, or have any experience on one to share?

Good specs, but the previous model shock set-up was better looking like a Volcan/Merida etc., the new one looks bulky like a giant!

They all took drugs and Lance was still the strongest and it pissed them off

Haha brillant!

Hi GhostFace Many thanks, I did get hold of Gert at Dragons without much success.After a short debate I asked him for a contact number, so that people with related issues can contact him-he never sent me one!Then I sent that message to a lady there who must of asked him to call me, which he did and left me a message.If he was as serious about customer service as he said he was he would have sent me the details first time!

Even if a shops account is closed, Dragons should get the customers details when they request the part needed and get in touch with him/her!

That seems to be the issue, I mean my friend chose an expensive carbon bike and would understand a week or two wait but it's been months-bad bad!

Bicycling is a poor quality yuppy mag and Ride mag kicks it badly, lets hope the New Top Cycling Magazine improves and then Bicycling mag will rue it's apathy to years of criticism and no change.

I'm busy choosing a 29er ad have considered the Giant, but I have had a friend who has had months of waiting for a part for his carbon Giant mountain bike frame.Has anyone had any dealings with Giant, I believe their agency is Dragons?

OAKDICS/OAKPICS ARE TERRIBLE, THE WORST OF THE WORST!

Same thing here, 3 e-mails and no reply. Hopefully race organizers will stop using them!

Agreed, it's a great spot but marking needs an upgrade. Come on guys it's not a new bike park.

Exactly, each time contador tried to break away on sunday , Schleck was on his wheel, but not so when Schleck attacked yesterday and contador was left standing!

Anyone???

I have negotiated at other bike shops, but I have never heard as many complaints as I have about cajees-maybe too many family members working there and not enough cyclists!

I would start a poll but I struggled long enough to get used to posting on the new hub -haha But besides 1 or 2 posts, the feelings seem to mirror mine and if more mags like Tread take off then Bicycling will not feature in my purchases. Well done Ride mag!

Just to add, I mailed ride mag by mistake to find out when the next 'ride before you buy' day was. They stll got back to me with the correct info to contact Bicycling mag and were super friendly.I then mailed Bicycling mag and have never heard a thing!

What do you guys think, they cost the same but Ride comes out every month and Bicycling only every second month. Ride is also a much fuller mag, and that's not just with ads. Tread mag seems to be doing a great job too!

Any prices yet???

To do a bit of quick technical riding yes, it was only R20 to park- no charge for ride and good security.

It is the better option to give the shop feedback in the case where the owner/manager might not know what his staff are doing, but my friend was told by the manager a cajees 4ways that there is no such a thing a slime tubes-of course because he had none at the time and only had bottles of slime!Cajees fourways has never been good on service or price, haggle with good bike shops for price and still get good service!

No answer- so we went on sunday and how sad,we were the only 3 people there. The technical area is similar to MTN bike park but just a little run down now!And it's so small compared to when we did the 24 hour there before.

Did anyone go???

Time for a home town victory - YEAH BABY.

Go second hand,you get awesome value for money and after one ride your new bike will be used any way.
