I had a severely tricked out SS, was an awesome bike and probably the only bike that I would buy back if I could. On your questions: 1) No tensioner needed, try get a Surly Tuggnut to keep the hub from slipping forward; 2) Brakes worked fine with Coolstop pads, but I eventually got a Paul CX lever which was awesome; 3) Get a SS chain from Rapide; 4 and 6) I prefer bullhorn bars but that's personal preference; Tires and wheels are personal preference depending on what you need. I ended with some nice Mavic wheels, and when for matching colour tires A carbon fork also makes it look pretty!! Here's she is:

I'm not a fan of their knives (well in all honesty I haven't seen one in the last few years but last I held one I didn't have any draw to it), but DAMN their canes are nice!!! I have lusted after a sword cane for many many years, I just cannot justify carrying one at the age of 28 . Oh how I wish I lived in the thirties where bespoke suits, top hats and canes were daily attire...

Yup they do. Attorney's fees are normally time based. But as this will be a once off thing ask for a fixed quote. Initial fees like taking of instructions, consultation etc can quickly run the costs up. So rather agree to an amount with the attorney to check the details.

Judging by the theme of this thread I think the majority of the people today have their own messes...

Maintenance is calculated on 2 main factors, a NEED and an ABILITY to pay. Therefore regardless of %, if he needs a certain amount and it is possible for you to pay (at some times possible according to the courts), such an order will be made. Keep in mind that both parents have maintenance obligations, and each's share will (or at least should) be worked out pro rata. As for age, "until he is self sufficient" is a standard clause. This covers the child for varsity etc, however from age 18 onwards if he wants more maintenance or you want to pay less it's between you and the child not you and the mother. So he needs to come explain the NEED and what is reasonable also plays a role here. Unfortunately maintenance is a doghouse and there are no true and correct rules, only guidelines and factors to take into consideration. Just to add, we have case law stating that where necessary the parents must sell assets to support the children.

Oooh that is nice!! Those serrated blades are stupidly sharp!

Looking good there Bonus!! Not all understand the peace experience when drinking a glass of wine and enjoying the view.

I'm sure it won't be an issue to find a buyer. One of my favorite pens is a hand turned pen I bought years ago in Nottingham road, going on the 3rd or 4th refill for it. Most likely your own fault there... If these pens come in at a decent price my hand would be up for 2 immediately.

Here's halfway through an awesome ride at Northern's on Sunday.

No clue why but this pic just does it for me!!

Not close to the stunning big projects you guys are running, but here's a little planter box I built Saturday afternoon for our herb/veggie garden. Version 2 of the project, to be done once I move house, will include a top "shelf" of PVC pipes in which we'll plant more herbs than veggies.

Still a few months before winter... But winter is coming...

Does anyone still have their sanity after yesterday? @Mojoman and HonkDonk, I think it boils down to personal choice and circumstances. After 27 years of marriage my folks got divorce August 2016. Both my parents moved on within 6 months and have new partners living with them since mid last year. Whether it's right or healthy is not my place to judge, but I do think it's a situation of each to their own. I'm young, just turned 28, been in a relationship since high school and got engaged Sep last year. In all honesty, if we had to break up now. I would most likely stay single and become a regular on Tinder.

Stupid, just stupid, but this guy's aiming is freakin impeccable!! He'll never be able to use aim as "wrong hole" excuse tho!

Good luck Landy!! Just stay strong, it's almost over

Not sure what your position is regarding animals but make sure they do not go near the newly sealed floor. A friend of mine's dog took a nice stroll over his newly painted garage floor, there was paint everywhere in the house!!!

I looks pretty?

I got onto the bandwagon late and only bought in early Jan I'm actually considering selling at a loss, and playing the minor increases en losses at the moment. It's jumping and dropping about R300.00 at the moment

ETH dropped like a rock over the past 48 hours. I initially bought (very little) at around R11k / ETH. It dropped to just over R7k this morning and seems to be picking up now again. I reckon the international clamp down is hitting it HARD!!!

Northern Farms R50 p/d

And replaced I hope!! These things are so personal that it's hard to judge people on them. Just always interesting to see what's excluded. Also what the issues are that can't be settled in a divorce. During my articles I had clients who settled millions of R's but could not agree on how to split a collection of an adult nature...

Ouch! But a good idea to have the calculations checked. I have seen gross errors in some attorney's calcs. As for the Pre-nups, the newest exclusions I see on a day to day basis are: 1) Pensions and annuities, of course including the growth and replacement thereof; 2) Investments; 3) Motor vehicles at replacement value. Odd items I have come across the past 6 months: 1) Collections (of all sorts but including stamps, coins etc); 2) Firearms; 3) A surf board.

Stunning Sniffie!! From the stickers I assume you sell them, what do they go for?

Re Legal advice: I got this part sorted. I'm an attorney myself , but will have the contracts drafted by an independent party. You're friend's biggest mistake in my opinion was getting married in community of property. As she would be entitled to half of the total estate value, which would include all his stakes in enterprises and trusts (depending on how they were setup). Without going into too much detail, ours would basically work as follow. Marriage will be out of community of property with the accrual. Accrual will basically have small things like running day to day bank accounts etc and possibly a vehicle depending on the circumstances at the time. Everything else will be run from a trust/company, at an arms length. Therefore if we split, the split itself will not effect the share holding capacity. Further to that the shares will be of the same value so of no effect in the calculation of the accrual.

I almost believe the current stats are around 62% ito divorce rate. I agree with Patch that many people should have called it quits a long time ago, but they stick it out for the wrong reasons. I'm getting married in Oct, so completely the opposite as what this thread is based on. But we'll be placing our assets in companies and trusts, meaning that if we do split for some or other reason, the divorce is the simple part. The assets in the trusts and companies will be dealt with from a financial perspective with either party buying out the other or where that is not possible you split the rights to the assets and just amend the deed of trust.
