  1. let’s hope we can catch the guy who did this
  2. Excellent news, thanks for posting
  3. This bit in bold is so true, blame it on apartheid, cANCer or whatever…. Sadly I doubt the angry macho dick_head will be brought to justice, his word against the victims. karma on the other hand has no such boundaries hope I’m wrong, will love to read that he has been caught, charged and sentenced.
  4. In the case of Thömus bikes, I understand that originally he manufactured his own frames here in der Schweiz. However, after reading this thread and checking out their website I'd agree with Shebeen, their wording is cleverly written to not indicate where the actual frames are manufactured, if the frames where actually produced in Switzerland for sure they would clearly mention that as a selling point. "For 30 years, Thömus has stood for high-tech on the farm – high-quality bikes, developed, designed, built and maintained in Switzerland. To this end, we are always looking for experts and talents who are just as crazy about cycling as we are. Their website currently advertises a position in Asia: High-tech bikes, developed, designed and built in Switzerland: this is what Thömus has stood for since 1991. Competent, friendly and courteous customer service as well as first-class products are our success factors. No matter what we do, we do it "for the love of the bike". Does this also apply to you? Then you may soon be our Head of Asia in Product Management. But then again... that could also cover the materials added to the frames, groupsets etc......
  5. IMHO it’s a case of over saturation, to much on the menu…. You guys in SA are spoilt with the amount of events on your calendar, the bubble has burst perhaps?
  6. No end to the marketing genius of the big bicycle manufactures
  7. Are those gardeners gloves?
  8. S’true but I have to wonder why it took the marketing department so long to come out with gravel bikes. I mean gravel roads and other similar roadie none technical riding have been around ever since boetie built the bloedrivier monument near Dundee. The big boom will most likely be gravel e bikes 🙄 heaven’s knows why, but that’s the way of the scheeple world 🤟
  9. How to avoid being detected by russian radar https://www.blick.ch/ausland/spektakulaeres-manoever-kampf-helikopter-fliegt-wenige-meter-ueber-boden-id17986449.html
  10. Where there’s smoke Even if they are below the minimal limits, where did they come from? The steaks are really small in Switzerland
  11. I’ll second this i have time atac pedals on all my bikes (including my road and tri bike). They are like Toyotas, just keep on going….. Bought some shimano XT pedals about a year or 2 ago, not sure what I was thinking…. They are still in the box. i have noticed that the atacs are not stocked in the bike shops here in chocolate and fondue land, the last time I bought some I had to order them online.
  12. Lekker, happy for ole Willie
  13. Whoever designed Team GB's cycling shorts needs to visit Spec savers 👓
  14. Great YouTube channel you guys have there! You guys down in the Cape sure have some great trails #veryenvious
  15. And the same applies to Ganna’s beard in 2022 Spending thousands of euros on skin suits, aero helmet, bikes etc etc…. But cannot afford to shave his face. Maybe there is truth to the belief that cyclist shave their legs because they think it looks sexy….or maybe he will shave his mug for his next attempt never say never
  16. Welcome to the UCI….. rules about sock length included
  17. I started MTBking with a Marin Bobcat and then a Palisades while living in Joburg back last century when there was no suspension and V brakes where hot... had a lot of fun riding and racing them Good luck Marin SA
  18. Hope the bike was not dropped and then sold by ysteryeti Lionel Hennessy…. looks like a good excuse to upgrade to a thru axle
  19. The whole thing is being blown out of proportion, if it was some unknown joe soap it would not be news or warrant a thread like this. Just one thing, these girls knew what they were doing as they had already been warned by MvdP girlfriend to stop but still persisted, the girls even filmed themselves knocking on his door (sign of intelligence, not) All we need now is for MVP to sue the parents for potential loss of a world title and related wealth…
  20. We used to go play tok tokkie in blocks of flats with no lifts starting on the top floor and working our way down, never got caught but my parents did get accused of raising a devil.... Beginning to sound like a "When we thread"
  21. Exactly Brats know this and exploit it fully
  22. Good to hear moi… getting fat 😂 take care 👍
  23. To be fair „the oke“ is plying his trade as a pro cyclist in an extremely tough and competitive environment while us armchair pros read about it on insta or whatever i take my hat off to him, and if he gives CSA the gears then I would think he has good reason to, as you said most would agree….. #lekkerwillie
  24. Hello Ma’am, howzit going 👋
