Was about to suggest myself actually .... Hell man, almost feeling as amped to see the finished product. Like watching an animal give birth in the wild tis is, should film and get David Attenborough to narrate.

Apparently one rider tweeted how he riding up when someone else ran past him. Saw a bit of the stage on DSTV very briefly at Complete Cyclist, looked steep enough to use a ladder! Disclaimer: For the literally literal folk, ladder comment is tongue in cheek.

Bloody nice! Set of them XT's would look purdy on there!

Yeah, reckon that trounces the SLX's ...... Half tempted myself!

Considered the slightly older XTs? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=23049

If you don't come right there is the British Chamber of Commerce based in Dunkeld as well.

Short version.... fraud

Surely you mean Solomons?

... at least he paid well. No it doesn't, and there are certain provisions a company is obliged to make as well. Also other than a minimum payout, if you've been employed for a year or more, you're supposed to receive a week's pay for every year served, minimum. Unfortunately not man, just going on my personal experience. Went through 3 retrenchment processes at the company I worked at before deciding to leave of my own accord. What I can do though is dig up the details of the labour association who worked on it and fwd them to you in a PM later. Really good bunch and proactive, which is refreshing considering how the militant unions grab headlines.

If a company rolls over your contract, keeping you employed for 6 months or more they are effectively employing you full time and you are entitled to the same considerations as permanent employees. Couple of companys have tried this trick of employing people as a 'contractor' to avoid paying benefits like pension and medical as well as thinking that they can just lay people off at 30 days notice. A real retrenchment process (Section 189/189a) is a 3 month process with at least 60 days allocated for a consultation process with the workers.

Having a irregular work schedule I often find it difficult to have a set routine for training and quite often as a result, a restricted training regime. Have found that running once or twice a week definitely helps, Old Parks and Wanderers have 5km and 8km on Tues/Thurs. These are really good as being a TT and a group of people you tend to push yourself a little bit.

Yep, Dunkeld

Oh flippin brilliant .... Stopped a few times at the cave to check it out. No more methinks!

Ooooww .... props though, took it like a champ. Plus no basket.

Where abouts are you in Jhb Dave? I'm fortunate enough to be riding different bikes on occasion, so my personal bike is more often than not gathering dust. You're welcome to loan it for rides until you're sorted.

Phwoar ... you could lean that bike against a pole at The Grand!

I still have VHS tapes of those

TW summed it up, thought it was brilliant on many levels. Not everyone will agree I suppose, but I'll wager that the majority feel it was well worth the watch!

Kinda like a rehash of JohnnyT http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V-k3ejIXSEo/SQ8oB7189LI/AAAAAAAAAM8/TOfy0hfrbhE/s400/John+Tomac+at+1990+Worlds-web.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tmCXlTvwjkY/TTw9ZSGgopI/AAAAAAAACAQ/cJY5ktjCxxc/s400/johnny_drop_jump.jpg http://www.mountainbikes.net/carbon/tuckerTomac_Yeti_Final_1ws.jpg http://files.myopera.com/badmadcyclist/blog/Tomac_DB10.jpg

Also look at the Momsen frames, I know Ray Chaplin who does tours and all sorts of nutty adventure has one. It's been fitted with panniers, a trailer etc before.... http://www.shova360.com

Ahem ..... ave ya checked wif a Pikey loike?

Well Hullabaloo is 100% legit and the products/brands they deal with are not those listed on the Gumtree ad. Also, after phoning Hullabaloo, no one knows about the ad. So clearly someone is been a smart ass, ie a dick.
