32x19 it is for me too....I just wanna finish with a smile and not die out there. Enjoying the post-ride beer is more important than the finishing time....

I did my normal commute to work this morning, my first ride in 10 days after battling some flu and sinusitis. All systems go! Bring on the Monster!

Yup, and this is why there are always so many bottlenecks on these Nissan races. Personally, this is one reason I'm doing the 'Monster instead.

How hard is it to get it right though. Isn't that why we have a seeding index? Just use that database to determine the race seeding.

Built this up from parts yesterday. Damn it's quick. And it's now for sale to raise funds for my Build-a-Bike initiative.

New CM Jozi headset caps now available. R125 each. Buy 2 or more for free postage. PM me your order.

I have a couple of roadbikes that need a good home. Can anyone recommend a good development cycling program that I can give them to?

Try e-bay.

But on closer inspection, I noticed that the top tube had a spiral crack in it at the internal cable routing aperture. So Sad. I still bought the bike for parts though....vintage aero brake levers are hard to come by!

I found a bargain on another classifieds website, called the gent and arranged to meet. Old school Peugeot Rapport was the item for 400 Randelas.

The Trek is definitely the sexier bike.....look at those fork stantions!

Get better soon Mike! Let us know how you're doing!

Thanks for the donation, much appreciated!

A rigid 26'er single speed makes you a better rider. A 29er makes you a happier rider.

with a small exposure adjustment in Lightroom, you have this. Remember that you can always overexposue your shot a bit when shooting a very light scene like this, or at the beach or in snow as your camera's light meter always tries to average out the exposure.

I always have a flashy red LED on the back whenever I am on or near a road. I'm sure it makes me more visible and certainly makes me feel safer.

Nice bike!

I rode 90km in the Cradle on a similar bike with some mates this weekend. 42x18 ratio was just about perfect.
