1. Overpriced 2. Under specced 3. Heavier than the Merida and Giant. Don't bother Wynand. Only consider the SC if she's able to back-to-back it with a Merida and she honestly prefers it. If not' date=' stick to the Merida for a sure bet kick ass bike[/quote'] Not sure why you say it is under-specced. They don't sell them as complete bikes. You do however get part kits for it. I have one and my bike weighs 11.8kgs which I don't think is that heavy. I've had mine for 4 years now and if I had to buy another bike I would buy the Juliana again. I feel so comfortable on it.

The only way you will get to ride it is by partnering someone who already has an entry as only one substitution per team is allowed this year.

Just got this from my LBS: There was another hijacking on the 25th of August 2009 @ 17h15 on the hill past Smuts Museum to the right just close to the little power station. There were 4 male cyclist!!!!!!!!! Guys and Girls please be CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bikes are: Giant XTC 2 Giant NHR 2 Silverback Alpine Not sure of the 4th bike's brand

That was a long time ago and I have moved onto bigger animals...like sheep! Okay, I'm mentally prepared for it now...go ahead and tell me the story behind this.

That was a long time ago and I have moved onto bigger animals...like sheep! I am worried about you two (and concerned about my well-being this weekend)!

Should I post the pic of what his hand looks like? Post it!

Crashing?!? Hope you and your bike are still intact and ready for TB!

He says he didn't crash. He just had a lie-down in the parking lot as he was tired (10 to 20 seconds into the ride)

Brilliant pics, thanks! One of the pics is the worst case of helmet hair I've ever seen

Hey BMCFan, post that cool pic you uploaded to Twitter last night.

DT also had an unrehearsed dismount . he forgot to mention that to me last night....and forgot to mention to him that I fell at the railway line yesterday morning and unfortunately Kathy saw and ........... well she is a gossip and my reputation is likely to be tarnished forever now. Your reputation definitely is tarnished! Holy kind of caused DT's unrehearsed dismount

DT also had an unrehearsed dismount .

DT, I should be the one thanking you! Was an awesome weekend. Holy, thanks for the "liquid refreshments". Don't ever ask Holy to swap pedals for you. I had to stop him from attempting to attach the pedal to the inside of the crank (and this was before he had any liquid refreshments! Also don't ride too close to him on a climb (DT knows why )

I went to the TDF for the final 2 weeks of the 2003 tour. Unless you have a really good spot on the final day all you will see is a blur of colour as they pass by so fast. I honestly could not even make out that shape of a cyclist - it just looked like a rainbow! The crowds were 6 people deep where we were standing and I could only see straight in front of me. You need to ideally find a spot that is near the big screens in order to see what is happening in the race. We sat in a small pub in an alleyway near the Champs-Elysee and watched most of the race on tv. When the cyclists came near we would run out and watch them pass and then return to the pub until the next lap. You will have to be there many hours in advance to get a good spot. If you do go, you must try and see the caravan go past. It is something that they never show on tv and I was amazed at how big it was and how many freebies they threw into the crowds.Mandibles2009-07-13 11:47:12

agreed. been too long since i've hit the trails with the little rollers. I think we should organise a Hub kiddies ride sometime soon. I've befriended a kid in my complex and I want to take him mountain biking.

Riding with kids is such fun. Looks like a nice route you took them on.

Well done D T and Captain Slow.

Why are you not happy about it? Do you recognise the person in the pics?

Looks like the same person in these pics.
