Wendy Oldfield was part of Sweat band. Here is "This boy" http://www.freshmusic.co.za/mp3/sweatband_-_this_boy.mp3

This is airbrushed, not a sticker like in SA.

Is Colnago back in the country?

A seatpost must always go beyond the first weld. Could have been a warrantee claim but not if it is user's fault.

Is she also a Hubber?

I've got the perfect bike for the spruit. It knows the route so well, it almosts rides it on it's own. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/9184-beone-mtb/

Maybe because ALL wheel manufacturers already have benders for 29" wheels. Keep it standard.

Virtual top tube

Again, depends on the top tube. I would go for 54cm with a 90mm stem but will how far will your seatpost stick out? If you are one of those people with long legs and short torso, you can stick with what you have. Otherwise you sit with a bike with a 400mm seatpost sticking out of your frame.

Not a big deal. Just get a stem that's 10mm shorter. As long as it is not 80mm or shorter.

I like the skinny graphics on the One Twenty Alloy.

It's the spruit. Hard to believe it is actually quite pretty around it.

MSA is your money, not the medical aids. If you leave, it gets paid to you. You can even claim for your plasters or womens san pads if you buy it from a chemist. I stand on almost R15000 in my savings and I think I can use it to get a snazzy pair of glasses. Just get it from an optometrist.

Exactly. It's a XC machine for races less then 2hrs. You don't need two bottles or even be very comfortable then. And true XC races are laps anyway so you can change bottles after every lap.

And still people will fit riser bars and extra bottle cages to the seatpost.

Where's the pic of George Hincapie's broken fork. That was made in the US and with an alu steerer.

Some of us are not gay.

For the best chunky grips on the market, get these. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/9183-odi-grips/

And how long after you put them back on can you start riding?

Well, I decided to buy my airbrush from a shop and I asked them how fast they can get it. They said a week or if I am willing to pay for speed services, I can get it the next day. I opted for the SS option. No hidden charges. These day petrol is so expensive I much rather buy online, if the shop is 30km or further away, then go into a shop.

Nice feel but very expensive for non removable grips.
