  1. this seems like a job for SHEBEEN, P.I. so I'm looking for a hot thirty something blonde with sexy legs. Good thing i was undercover at Caprice sunday night. I have some leads already, but my expense account is mounting.
  2. can ordinary people like me ever get to use this Vodacom tracking/phone usage info? i have my IMEI number written down, but not much faith in network/police if i ever had to enforce them to turn my stolen phone into a paperweight
  3. this came up in my gmail advert bar http://www.granfondocyclingtours.com/rasmussen_camp_08.htm i love the bit where he's got the yellow jersey on in all pictures, and the Q and A with Michael features. pity he doesn't serve the 'nutrition' lecture. normally i'm all for innocent till proven guilty, but lets hope he never gets signed up again.
  4. very nice. any chance we could see the before pics sometime?
  5. probably on about page 8 or 9. but noone really took the bait thing is giving away a raleigh frameset isn't such a new thing, even if it is a current model. well known fact that people buy them for the components and then transfer the brand new parts over to their other bike.
  6. 1 degree, not even below freezing?! you could have said minus eight and got away with it. just make sure you got all the moisture out your cable guides when you go out in these conditions.
  7. i'm no photo fundi, but i think pics taken in better light she might even look better. it just looks faaaaaaaaaaaast
  8. except that according to the current schedule its not on LIVE on SuperSport......someone somewhere needs to sort that out soonest
  9. any tips for flying tubeless converted tyres? I flew recently and let some air out (probably down to 2.5 bar), and then put duct tape over the valves so they wouldn't be undone by an ACSA chronie. overkill?
  10. ride by wire? its awesome that they actually bringing it to the market, I thought that still using test models at Le Tour was quite ambitious. of course i won't touch it until all the teething problems are sorted, but I think precise shifting will be the big gain if they are using sensors. on the chain/cassette. and when they bring out the 'voice activated model......' Swissvan, if you really think a 7.4V rechargeable lithium battery is bad for world pollution you'll get on well with the hippies who live on my street.shebeen2008-08-04 02:18:28
  11. seeding, i think that is something that farmers do to make their mielies grow out the ground. i thought we had a bit of a seeding series going here with Argus MTB, STB, Knysna and Lourensford all involved. last year as a ppa member i did them all, started everyone in the second group and came in the top 20% of my group in all of them. in STB I came 5/125 in the AB group. So i'm once again in the second group. maybe that cyclosport licence isn't such a bad idea afterall! anyway not too bothered really, more girls at the back
  12. JB, i kinda disagree. OP asked if it was worth getting a more expensive bike or just upgrading certain parts. Potent has the identical bike and offered advice on things he upgraded and how they affected his bike (in his opinion). Drowning whales and flying pigs aside, he gave options on racier tyres - and it's obvious they were his opinion. I would rate that as good advice, as a mid range bike like the Alpine could probably do with better tyres. i'm wily enough not to debate this (and tyres for climbing) further, as i know i won't beat you.
  13. dude how many bikes are you planning on riding? try keep it all original, except for the tyres. i used to borrow a 70's peugeout for the Argus - loverly bike. Will try get hold of it again and then we can start a peugeot bike gang
  14. Are there any pro's who refuse to use the teams sponsored pedals?i can imagine some guys want to stick to their favourite brand. i see our olympic swimmers can way whichever cossie they want now. it was an issue because swimming sa is sponsored by arena, but speedo suits are appreciably quicker right now. SASCOC stopped acting like sascock and saw the light.
  15. i'm actually riding to work more often now
  16. they race the day after the tour finishes?? that's just silly. good to see the Lantern rouge in the top 10
  17. I take it you turned around at the top of Red Hill? If you went down the other side, at the three way stop is The Cape Farmhouse - they make awesome deserts. well worth it. bit funny doing an out and back with all the other routes, but you clearly hill hunting - another tweak is to go through Da Gama Park. start/finish is Southern right hotel in glencairn and scratch patch
  18. depends, what you looking for? I got some Code 8 and articulated Truck going cheap cheep
  19. CS both manufacture here and in china....all designed and tested here. I have my brilliant Vantage jacket right here in front of me and the label says just that. >hijack off> back to rally bashing boys
  20. i really don't think it's a china thing. as well all know most of our bikes come from there, and its not like anyone has a go at CapeStorm for manufacturing there
