Will there be full road closure? The vision of the Tshwane Classic was to present Tshwane’s version of the Cape Town Cycle Tour and Ride 947 in a traffic free environment, courtesy of significant buy-in from the Tshwane Local Government.

If it gives any comfort, I've been riding unbranded Chinese wheels for the past 5 years, haven't missed a beat. Must add that I did extensive research on different suppliers before I made a decision.

Bought a Lazer O2 on sale last year, by far the most comfortable lid I've had. My measure is do I forget about it or am I constantly fiddling instead of enjoying the ride

Had jerseys made by cyclebox in china for our 94.7 charity bond. Paid R350 per jersey including shipping and duties

Same question but different Old Sora and mavic aksiums Which to upgrade?

+1 on getting a test saddle, use it extensively to make sure its right/ wrong for you

Have a look at this guy: http://www.sodablast.co.za/surfaces-that-can-be-cleaned.html

why don't you import a chinese carbon frame etc and canibalise your existing bike for parts?

Friend of mine bought this last week, sweet ride for the price! http://www.sportsbasement.co.za/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=298

Have a look on thesportsbasement.co.za friend of mine bought a really nice Felt for R5500 with Sram X7/9 mix

Have a look on: www.beginnertriathlete.com have a decent 70.3 program

Have a look at the Motorola MotoActiv. All the info you could dream of here: dcrainmaker.com

Components are more important than brands. You should at least aim for 105 or 105 ultegra mix. That being said, I did 70.3 on a 10year old Alu bike with Sora.
