Bike found and suspects apprehended at Woodstock SAPS. Waiting on owner to identify. 14/05/2023 1pm

what did you do there?thinking of moving there for some overseas financial services experience, wondering if its a cool place?

Good work Nick, unfortunately don't have many spares being new to the sport, but let's keep this going. I think it can be very successful

I suppose you watched all the other sponsored riders (who "got something for nothing") as well, right?

Give Westdene cycles a call, you can bargain with those guys

Ya, he rides with the elite group in the league and argus!

well, Ou Kaapse is far more difficult but less windy, probably safer imo

Being a newbie, never rode the argus down that section, although with the roadworks it may be a bit wider hopefully..

Was hoping someone could ask Helen Zille during the race. Saw so many accidents over Boyes drive during the race, it's not ideal for a race like the Argus with so many novices taking part

Hey man, really sorry about your bike. A while ago there was a thread on the hub where a guy's stolen bike ended up at a store in Plumbstead - there are some dodgy places out there. Keep a lookout on gumtree (and other popular classifieds) and contact all the stores you can in your area to let them keep a lookout because these guys will have to sell the bike somewhere and may not have the know-how to take it apart

A friend of mine said his Mavis Kyseriums also break when you give some real power. Thanks guys for the help

Coronation Double Century, a 202km race..One for the guys with titanium butts!

Great idea, should have figured that one Thanks a mil

Nice! a bit more than I would budget for, always good to dream though

Too bad I didn't get that far

Hey guys Currently have a set of Giant P-R2's which came standard on my bike and are apparently 'weighing it down' according to the experts out there. Anyone have a set of those and know the weight? Need to take off the cassette to see the weight which is a hassle. I'm trying to work out the cost/benefit of a new set here and also what is considered light for a set of wheels?

spring in derailleur broke on Boyes drive,got it to Simons town but the mechanics couldn't fix it. tried converting it to a fixie which also didn't work edit:typo

Frail is right, but they have some info on the website (I think) and at the Expo. Enjoy!

Well, I enjoy rugby, I wasn't too proud when a murderer (Henry Tromp) was selected for the Boks. What were your thoughts?

I think it's great! sets an example for others to change to a healthier lifestyle

sien jou daar!

last year they had the Mille for R1600 which is pretty good

Hi Chris, looking forward to it! any other specials?

Not too sure what the Spez weighs, they claim the Giant frame weighs 908g and fork 368g (I'm guessing on a medium frame) Edit: check link: http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/giant-2012-road-launch-30729/

thanks Splat, have an ergo fit. not being too much of a pro at fit etc will have to ask my lbs. Thanks again!
