Measure your sit bone width.. https://www.singletracks.com/mtb-gear/how-to-measure-your-sit-bones-for-the-perfect-saddle-fit-its-easy/ use the Ergon saddle finder for best recommendation https://www.ergonbike.com/en/saddle-selector.html Search that saddle and buy it from someone locally.. worked pretty well for me.. love my saddle.. I can’t see any shop letting you try out saddles, unless they had demos of everything. 🤔

My man.!! 😳😳😳😳 this comment > all other comments 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I must have music playing in the background.. all day, everyday.. partially why I’m not a group ride enthusiast🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

Actually that also motivates me.. early mornings on the bike with AirPods playing good music.(still heavy but not the heaviest🤣). I find the world to be very empty, calm, quiet, and pleasant for a change.. ❤️

You’ve created a lifestyle.. 🤘🏻🥳👍🏻

My goal is just to stay consistent. I don’t do well with structured interval training etc.. luckily I’m coming from many many years of non exercise and two decades of heavy smoking(about 18months off ciggies now).. so just getting up and on the bike regularly I’m seeing improvement in overall health, physique(63kg now, >70kg a couple years ago) and fitness(healthy lungs).. thats what really keeps me motivated.. when that stagnates I’ll rethink my approach to training.. for now, I cycle and if I’m feeling sassy I’ll push up a climb or sprint on a nice straight.. if not I sit back, relax, spin it out and enjoy the ride 🤘🏻🥳👍🏻 *only real goal is similar to yourself, to give myself the best chance at completing the 947 in a respectable time(3/3.5 hours🤷🏼‍♂️) or just comfortably depending on how this year treats me.. 😃 *forgot mental health benefits.. my (GAD)is waaay more manageable when consistently exercising

Can we update this to include emotional injuries.?! ☠️🤣

Buy it NOW.!!🤣🤣🤣

not mad about the color but who cares that does look awesome.! Holding thumbs for you.. that’s a winner.!

Sorry to be that guy.. but if at all you can up that budget a bit, maybe negotiate a bit of a lower price on these you’re options are far better than 15k.. in my opinion.. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/779952/specialized-allez-elite-e5 https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/776193/elite-titan-racing-road-bike https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/782140/merida-reacto-5000-ltd-lampre-edition

Roubaix is the wrong size.. you can buy a 300k bike but if it’s the wrong size it’s always going to suck🤷🏼‍♂️

Not a large(56) and most certainly not a 58.!! I’m 177 and a ride a 54, ideally a 53 but that’s because of my legs to torso ratio blah blah.. I always advise getting advice from a proper fitter though..

Mellow velo is now a guy called Mitch.. Ruan Smit did take over Richard’s clients, but he operates from dunkeld on wednesdays and fridays.. and then at westdene cycles but I’m unsure of those days.. 👍🏻

Service and grease your pedals
