Some really interesting bikes and other bits on show. Thanks for sharing the link.

Free of charge until end of October.

Didn't you get to ride or why are you disappointed BB?

Did the interesting guest make an appearance? If so, who was it?

Congrats! May you have many happy miles together. Hope you're going to post a pic under here now: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=2078

Think he would be better off saying "hello". "Hell" might scare the little ones.

Hope to see a follow-up pic of your new baby and a ride report posted next week. It's a very sweet looking ride. Enjoy the test-ride.

Ah, now that changes things. Having the right size frame is vital. Read these post and you might find some useful info: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=7423 https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=26991 https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=23643 https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=20752 I see you're a newbie, welcome! If you want an opinion then you might need to "bump" your post during the week as it is sometimes quiet here over weekends (or the guys are too busy in the "price fixing" topic ).

The derailleurs are fairly similarly specced. The front one is better on your current bike and the rear is better on the one you want to get. The shifters are better than your current one. Does your current bike have disc brakes or V-brakes and what make and model are they? Depending on why you want to buy a new bike, it might be worth rather just getting a new fork. You will have to weigh up how much you can get for your current bike as opposed to what you will pay for the new one etc. There are plenty of 2nd hand forks for sale every now and again on the Hub. PS: It's M'am and not Sir.

Is this the same spec as the one you're interested in? Bikes are sometimes specced slightly differently in SA. http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-AU/bikes/mountain/1131/28948/ sizeXS:14, S:16, M:18, L:20, XL:22user coloursClay/Black + Black/CharcoalframeALUXX FluidFormed? alloy disc w/low stand-overforkRockshox Dart 2 100mm w/Turnkey Lockout & custom spring raterear derailleurSRAM X-7 9 speedfront derailleurShimano Deore 34.9shiftersSRAM X-7 27 speed trigger shifterscranksetShimano Deore class 9 speed 22x32x44T w/Octalinkbottom bracketShimano Octalink splinedshift/chain guide chainShimano HG73 9 speedcassetteSRAM PG950 9 speed 11-34TbrakesShimano M485 hydraulic w/6" centre-lock rotorsbrake leversShimano M485 hydraulichubsShimano RM65 9sp, QR, cassette discrimsAlloy double wall disc 26" x 32Hspokes14G stainless blacktyresHutchinson Scorpion 26 x 2.0"pedalsAlloy with clips and strapsh.bar/stemRaceface Ride XC low rise/Raceface Ride XCseat postRaceface Ride XC 30.9saddleSDG Bel AirgripsGiant kratonextras

Gila, I've PM'd you the info.

With a name like Thornman it's no wonder you puncture so often.

The Bekker Bundu Bash was today.

Why would a pic of him make me blush? Let me ask for his permission first. The photos may be copyrighted to some hunk magazines already.

I don't think I should say as it might make him blush He'd make an excellent finance minister. All the budget money will be used for cycling and women

DR, I think David#7 is very fast, very handsome and should be president but it only allowed me to vote for one of the above

I've got the Pedro's Brush Kit and I recommend it highly.
