  1. Ah, so what was chop number 1 doing while not doing his job?
  2. Hahaha naaaisss. That kid looks just like my Fish Hoek son did before his big-ass hipster beard. I had to do a double take.
  3. BRILLIANT BIANCA!!!
  4. Unusual given that it's a remarkable name. We'd turn up at Supers and Seal Point and Vic Bay and the Wild Coast in your namesake's black '48 Fleetline auto beast like this one and surf, living in it for DAYS. Hey, it was the '80's. Pls excuse the off-topic tangent, I'll stop. GO BIANCA!
  5. As an aside, I think you're a McKec**** (not sure if one's allowed to say) and in the '80s I did quite a few surf trips with a Steven/Stephen McK. I ask 'cos the surname is most uncommon and wondering if there's a connection?
  6. I've never understood why this approach isn't routine in so many businesses. I was nothing less than surprised-thrilled how quickly our corporate training business took off with MNC clients in the mid '90's simply because we did what we said we'd do on time, EVERY TIME. It's not complicated.
  7. I was just as guilty as far as a visiting German trauma surgeon was concerned. Arriving at an EMS continuing professional development case history meeting in Cape Town we exchanged pleasantries and I asked about his accommodation and morning commute. "That's about 12km's from here, right?" I asked. "No. TWELVE POINT ONE!" he insisted.
  8. Titan's blurb is that the Cypher is a XC-marathon bike. Great starter choice though...
  9. Thank goodness you ain't trying to wear figurative shoes. :p
  10. Try Mr P Sport, my son bought me one that's still in rotation.
  11. Yeah, it's another cycling/driving experience in this less wealthy world here, TNT1. I learned to hire a car rather than use my beautiful old cars when visiting the ex in-laws in Transkei.
  12. And who decreed that those driving banged-up skorokoros have to be the worst drivers around cyclists? *Edit: At least 'round these parts.
  13. Luck o' the draw I guess. Never had a problem with SAPO, even with watch straps and watches. DHL disappointed once with three sizeable boxes of work equipment from the same supplier ending up in three different cities.
  14. Sheesh! Epic race, a cool down ride is indicated.
  15. When they added duties, I collected at SAPO, happened twice. When no duties were added, once collected at a Pep Store counter and once home delivery by courier. I used Paypal for safety. Each time the parcel arrived within 30 days or less.
  16. About four weeks each time. Customs seem to be a crapshoot, sometimes 45% duties on clothing and my last delivery three weeks ago (three items of winter kit) somehow had no import duties added. Even with import duties, those gloves are still way less than half than what the OneDayOnly special costs.
  17. I paid about R80 for the same gloves from Light in the Box. I usually buy three items at a time for shipping cost efficiency and have bought from the site on four occasions. Great deals as long as one pays CLOSE attention to the size charts for each item, the user reviews are helpful for sizing as well. Delivery takes a month with standard mail shipping.
  18. Nuts + crazy + stupid I'd say Theo. I've had two ribs fractured (rugby), L1 and L2 compression fracture (rugby), and a comminuted ankle fracture, but none were as a result of taking such an outrageous risk. Worthwhile risk? I just don't see it. The extended pain, the long schlep to recover, scheduling med appointments every/every other day, the potential long-term consequences of orthotic insertions (speak to Gee in a decade's time). Nuts + crazy + stupid.
  19. Yessir, and home to one of the most brutal and backward branches of la cosa nostra prevalent in every small town and village, Italian rednecks one might say.
  20. Drooooollll.
  21. Even so, this toppie was in the Baakens Valley by 07h40. The new warm kit works a treat.
  22. Ewan at Coimbra Cycles has three left in stock @ 695 each and will ship quickly. Best to contact him today as he's going on leave 041-5813310 or info@coimbracycles.co.za. From tomorrow speak to Arno.
