  1. Unfortunately you will stay "weak" I trained with a weaker partner for 4 years. Didn't work for me but for him. He became stronger and I went no where. I joined a big group where I suffered in the beginning. At 48 I am doing better than at 30. I suggest you and your girlfriend join a big group where both of you will benefit and she will become stronger and you never know she might just make you say "honey wait for me"
  2. Please show me the cyclist who never ever skipped a red... the most important thing to take into consideration when you do skip is make sure NO ONE'S life is in danger.......and I am not promoting skipping.
  3. Must be a petrol thing........ If the petrol price goes up all the chain stores increase their prices with R2 - R20 per item depending what you are buying....crazeee
  4. Use diesel ,a paint brush and a few rags...been doing it for the past 31 years...works like a charm....stay away from water..I know it rains sometime when you out cycling but try and prevent unnecessary water on the moving parts...
  5. If you look at his photo it explains everything....................
  6. Vat so katvis...............................
  7. Sterkte aan almal wat more gaan ry. Dit is 'n roete wat nie jou maatjie is as dit koud en winderig is nie.
  8. Hartseer om te sê maar my fiets staan al vir twee maande in die garage. Sommer net slegtigheid. Sodra die skooleksamens verby is sal ek weer die pad vat...............
  9. Enjoy the quiet time. Nex week the rush is back
  10. Going from "fake Pino's" to Coke and Rolex...............Looks like this is going to become a looooooooooooong thread.
  11. I dont think any one says its ok to steal , I think it boils down to a 50k Pina being sold for 120k The opportunity for the majority of cyclist to own a Pina is taken away by the massive mark ups.
  12. What ever the case might be....I would love to ride a Pinarello but even the "generic" one is out my price range.....and no I wont buy something off the back of a truck.Not ayoba.....
  13. It is not a case of stealing or something being generic. If I produce a product for R10.00 and sell it to a retailer for R25.00 is fair for the retailer to then sell it at R100.00? As long as everything is legit I will buy at the best price.Also bare in mind that China's factory workers are very poorly paid(cheap labour)The production cost of a frame and the selling prices of the frame doesn't ad up but then so are all other products on the market.
  14. Long and short of the story...China officially build carbon frames for Pinarello and other brands........only difference is the price who is determined by the retailer.I bought a Schwinn fast Back Pro in December 2003 (Top of the range at that stage) made in Taiwan ,official frame builder for Schwinn. Had the bike now for 9 years. Had no problems.Why pay 50k if you can get the exact same thing for 20k?????
