  1. No don't have the bike anymore, discovered a small crack on the frame and returned to Johnsons who replaced the frame. Was very impressed with them. There was no quibble just replaced it with another Raleigh frame.Had 3 Raleighs in total,changed to Peugeot had 2 Zini's ,currently cycling on a Schwinn Fast back Pro (Aluminium) that needs to be replaced with a carbon frame(sometime)
  2. Started cycling in the winter of 1982 - bought my first bike a Raleigh 8 speed from Johnsons Cycle works for R120.00 a lot of money then.Still in the saddle and becoming better the more I mature
  3. No one can teach you how to ride a bicycle. It is something you need to do on your own.The secret in teaching someone is to be patient.
  4. Very good combo. Ad a Gripon 3 times a day and you will be good as new.
  5. Contact Maryks. She is very good with training programmes. At the moment I am using one of her programmes after being off for 3months due to an inguanal hernia opperation.It is working well.
  6. Hi Tazz Unfortunately it’s the way the cookie crumbles. It happens to me as well.Somewhere along the road we will catch a bug unknowingly especially during the transition period from summer to winter.It doesn’t matter how well you look after yourself you will always be in contact with people especially if you work in an open plan office.The other bad thing is that we then need to take antibiotics which is not ayoba for any sportsman. It helps but my personal experience is that I feel weak when start training again.We are only in the beginning of winter Good luck
  7. All the glory to God for sparing your life and giving you another chance Mad dog.Jesus is King and rules for ever.............
  8. Casette looks fine. The chain doesnt look that hot. Personally I will replace it.Enjoy
  9. I shopped around for 4 months before I bought my bike and it was definitely worth the time.Rather take the time. No turning back once the purchase is done.
  10. The group set normally determines the price of the bike. For entry level rather go for 105. May cost a bit more but it is worth it. Good luck
  11. Do some longer rides and put in an extra session or 2 of interval training...
  12. a time saving of up to 2.5 seconds per kilometre. Why didnt you post this before the Argus????
  13. If or when you get the dudes name and address , before you panel beat him make sure he didn't buy "your" bike from a pawn shop or cash crusaders. The majority of stolen bikes land up at either of these two places.
  14. I agree .Every year I get to Chapmans @ Suikerbossie I find ouma and oupa in front of me.The only way they could get there before me is if they start in A/B bunch. I normally start in G/H unless of course they have jet fuel in there water bottles.One will never know
  15. I agree , I dont know where he got his market info from. This RC3000 is an "old model" Worth less than 6k This is the unfortunate thing with bicycles , 2nd hand value is just about nothing.
  16. Jy is skerper as Minora-lemmetjies..............

    cramps

    During training you might ride at say a 29 ave but come race day you average goes up to 35+ which means you put more strain on your muscles. As your muscles are not use to this intensity you tend to cramp. Rennies seem to work. Last season I started training with a cadence meter where I force myself to keep the cadence on 85-90 rpm's.By doing this you put constant strain on your various leg muscles which means your muscles now become use to a more intense training session than before the cadence meter.It works for me. Cramping is a lot less and the intensity of the cramp is also less. Two years ago I had to sit for an hour on suikerbossie because of intense cramping. Wasnt fun at all.
  18. You need to go see the doc. Unfortunately the symptoms wont go away.Inform your doc about the time left before the Argus. Two years ago I picked up flu a week before the 94.7 My doc had me on a 3 day antibiotic course. Got an injection everyday for 3 days. It really works fast and is efficient.Last injection was the Friday, the 94.7 was the Sunday and I was "A" for away.To boost your immune system go to your pharmacy for a B-Complex injection.At least 4 injections over the next 10 days(must be made up with B complex & B6) Luckily my wife is a registered nurse so she comes in handy when it is time for an injection. Good luck
  19. Jeez noudat jy dit noem..kan ek nogal die trekke sien. Moes seker maar baie grondpad gery het , is die wat ek nie seker was nie
  20. Nooit gesien..ou gewoontes leer 'n mens mos moeilik af..of wil dalk nie afgeleer word nie.Hoe se hulle, jy kan die aap uit die bos haal maar nie die bos uit die aap nie
  21. Kosmonooit is net jealous omdat daar nie van hom 'n pic is nie...
