There are two very active WA groups for Stellenbosch, linked to Stellenbosch University Campus Control.

 

Easy to get the message out of an incident .... by which time the perps have jumped over the railing and dissapeared ....

 

A more pro-active approach is needed.

Ons wag hulle in.

Same here. Individually we can make it work. Managing large inventory is a different matter. Hundreds of stock keeping units in one massive warehouse was and still is a difficult undertaking. So setting up distribution so that appropriate SKUs go to the right DC is far easier. Its supply chain 101. Small markets end up with the scraps. On the high end side though SA is one of the biggest markets funnily! Europeans are not as obsessed with having top end kit as us SAFFAs are.

 

ooops whole other debate ……

probably one for Friday 

correct...go see what the guys ride in london...all rode bikes with 105. leaving ultegra for local pros. unfortunately we have to be happy w dura ace.

Speed Company not at the level they were on previous years. I think they will fade out as the week goes on. Today will be a very tough day for the stragglers at the back.

I followed it with keen interest and watched some of it in PE. It was either David George or Darren LillS tried to go solo to put time into the Englishman, but failed to gain enough time for the overall

I gathered that B had to stop twice, to allow A to overtake them after the crashes. 

I rode back in the sweeper with a guy involved in A's first crash, probably around the airfield. He said a marshall on a motorbike stopped in the middle of the road, and they clattered into him at 60kph. 

those stops in B properly killed my legs...they werent good to start off with, but breaking the momentum like that sucked the energy out of me. Well done to the chaps in B who gave it klappers from the start to end. gave me a proper hiding today.

Certainly looks like a pursuit frame and no, that fork isn't original. Would be interesting to get Duncan's take on it.

I'll chat to him tonight

Me and you both. I have a Gemini track bike and pursuit TT low pro. 

sorry for high jacking your thread Brett...I need some advice re the fork...not sure if it is a pursuit frame, does look like one with the very steep head tube.

The fork is not original, unfortunately,

Reminds me of the oprah meme, you have a evo...you have a evo...we all have evo's 😂

Jokes, well done, its very pretty. I'm jealous.

An easy statement to make at the R15k level, not so easy at R150k…

I think it is easy...its still a toy.

[What's it worth?]

Have you done any home work on this? Or is it more convenient to ask? 
 

Idk but all these threads ring similar, or I’m just getting older and grumpier 😬

[Is this bike worth it?]

Bikehub isnt a 1/10th of the good old TheHub unfortunately by reading all recent posts. 

[Is this bike worth it?]

As Eugene has mentioned. This bike is reasonably priced.
 

you’d also battle to find a frame for R10k thats reasonable. 

[Is the 2nd hand market dead?]

I still see dealers selling second hand stuff, stripped of completebikes for crazy prices.
