  1. Get this frame. Look at the adjustable stays. You can use it with a derailleur or as a single speed.
  2. Yeah, it was freezing. Eventhough it is summer in Europe. The guys started in the valley where it was warmer and climbed to the top. They had to cover up for the downhill section though.
  3. Congratulations to Rynard and Charl on their great ride at the Transalp. The team finished 70th overall and 50th in their category. The photo below was taken at 2200m high on day 4, just before heading down to some warmer pastures. Rynard and Charl were riding the Skin hardtails.
  4. sure jldam will be along any minute and maybe he's got a pic. looked on a number of sites and can't find it. think these are the 2010 models on show for now... Hey Holy.. Just got online.. Am currently enjoying the Corsican sunshine, so don't get to see what you guys are up to back in RSA.. Going to the beach now. The skin will be available for 2010. the colour will be similar to 09. Black for the skin1 and white for the Skin2. Have a look at a few of the prelaunch pics in Andorra... Got a few more but the wifi is extremely slow..
  5. We have a ride at Groenkloof on sunday. Should be quite a big group. Maybe one of us wants to be a "model". Ride is at 7h30 - 7h45.
  6. Yes, bottom pull, top clamp.
  7. Hi Racman, Congrats on your purchase. A few more info to add to the list already given. The front derailleur is a bottom pull. Your seatpost tube is 27.2. We normally cross our derailleurs' cables to keep them from rubbing on the frame. Enjoy....
  8. Cool Danger Dassie. Long time no see....

  13. Hi everyone, Come see and test ride our COMMENCAL range at the Bicycling Ride B4 You Buy, this weekend 28 and 29 November. We will have a full range of bikes to be tested, so if you are considering a COMMENCAL, this would be a good time to try it out. There will be a 6 Kms test track. Other distributors will also have bikes on display, so come join us for a bit of fun in the sun....
  14. Here you go...
  15. Hey Zeepee, Gee atherton is the current World Champ. He rides COMMENCAL. Greg won one of the world cup races. Incidently his sister Rachel Atherton is also the current ladies World Champ. Check out a pic of Rachel on the finish line. First time ever that a brother and sister are world champ at the same time. Press release : Rachel and Gee Atherton bring home Britain's first ever World Championship Gold medals<?: PREFIX = O /> We still have some 07 bikes on special, so if you want to have a look, I can direct you to one of our dealers.
  16. Commencal http://www.commencal.com/news/index_en.htm it's Portugese.. The "C" has that strange squiggle at the bottom. the english equivalent is the letter "Z". They use a "C" on the website cos it's easier for our yankee friends.. Hmmm, COMMENCAL comes from Andorra, which is situated at the top of pyreneas between France and Spain. The name COMMENCAL comes from the founder/Managing director's surname Max COMMENCAL. It is actually spelled Commen?al. Current DH World champion brand, with the Athertons
  17. Supermill, pm me, so we can discuss your problem. You can also contact me on info@commencal.co.za
  18. look at the rear tire on the second photo.... it almost seems flat..... huh..... Talk about low presure riding...... Well spotted. That photo was probably taken during a practice run. probably picked up a flat. He would normally run around 25psi in his back wheel..
  19. Hmmmm, COMMENCAL comes from Andorra... But we are proudly South African.
  20. Rachel and Gee Atherton bring home Britain's first ever World Championship Gold medals<?: PREFIX = O /> Valle di Sol, Italy ? Today, Downhill mountain bikers Gee and Rachel Atherton, each took victory at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Trentino, Italy ? the first sibling double-win ever! As the baking sun ensured the track was hot and dry, all eyes were on the Athertons, particularly after an incredible display at the recent Mountain Bike World Cup in Andorra (May), when brother Dan also took the win, making it a triple-victory for the history-making family. But today, the pressure continued to mount for the siblings after both qualified first in Thursday?s seeding session. Despite the family?s fortunes taking a turn for the worse, when eldest brother Dan sustained a broken collarbone in his 4cross qualifying. Nevertheless today was make or break time for Rachel and Gee Atherton. Rachel was first at the start gate for the Women?s Downhill Final, and as the time ticked down to her race run, it was clear that France?s Sabrina Jonnier was out to prove a point; in fact the reigning World Champ was sitting pretty in the hot seat as Rachel flew out of the start hut for the final run down for the women. Riding well all week on this super technical track, Rachel was the clear favourite, and when she hit the split time a staggering nine seconds up on Sabrina, she left no doubt she was on the gas and gunning for victory. Crossing the line an astonishing 11.99 seconds ahead of her closest rival, Rachel Atherton followed up her 2006 Junior World Championship in style with one of the biggest ever winning margins in World Championships history. Next, pressure shifted directly to brother Gee, who now had to live up to the family name and pull off the double-win, against the super strong World Class field. Last down the hill Gee had fellow Brit Steve Peat to beat, who in his illustrious career has never won the coveted rainbow jersey. Through the split and Gee was 2 seconds clear, a margin he managed to hold as he shot across the finish line and into the elated Atherton huddle ? ensuring the family again made history and became the first to win two Mountain Bike World titles in the same year. On the podium, both Athertons were proudly dressed in the white and rainbow-striped winner?s jersey, and the pair saluted the Italian crowd and the world. Take note, the Atherton era is upon us and looks set to change the face of downhill mountain biking?. Watch the Athertons do the Double at the World Championships on freecaster.TV The Athertons continue to dominate the season with both Gee and Rachel taking comfortable firsts in the men's and women's downhill respectively. The 4X COMMENCAL riders were less success with a broken collarbone during the DH training for Dan and a 9th place for CG who was really disappointed. Men's DH results: 1.

  23. i distinctly remember saying: "it's time for a beer!" maybe you were too busy admiring your (unscratched) new baby to hear me! post pics of the bling. have you decided on which wheels? You're right, I was probably eyeballing my bike to check for scratches. I have 3 black and blue fingers, but thank goodness, the bike is alright. I am thinking of building a DT swiss, wheelset. 190 Hubs Revolution spokes gold niples XR4.2d rims
