What are you taking for it? Vitamin D, B, C, Zink? Lots of water?

She might have hit lower down causing a costal cartilage fracture. It hurts like hell and takes around 6 weeks to heal up. I fractured mine in a crash and a big yawn and stretch caused it to snap. Sounds like a plastic ruler snapping. Seriously not fun. Good luck.

It's weird how that R115k they want for the GX bike can actually put you on a boutique brand if you shop around carefully. I spent less than that on my latest build. Yes I run SLX on the derailleur side but it is purely because a wrecked high end derailleur is an expensive replacement.

Yup. Mostly followed by loud pops and cracks as well. I sound like a dry bearing most of the time.

Agree 199% with you there R117k buys you a 2021 Cannondale Scalpel Si Limited with X01 bits. The rest is pretty much on point with the carbon wheels etc. R109k buys you a 2021 Scott Spark RC900 TM Issue Prism with a mix of GX and AXS. If you want a full GX bike with carbon wheels and you're willing to settle for a 2020 model then look at a 2020 Cannondale Scalpel Si Carbon 3 29 at R85k. R30k is a lot of change. Many options out there but I think Merida lost it a little bit with their pricing. Great looking bikes but again it just shows that shopping around is extremely important these days.

That build really impressed me. A full on DH bike that weighs the same as my trail bike. Super impressive.

To one it is art, to another a turd.

I said please.

I’m still wiping drool off the floor. That is a work of art.

Absolutely stellar service from Ikambi They went through the full diagnostics process with me and unfortunately the trainer is dead. They arranged the RMA process today and the replacement unit will be with me on Friday. Just wow!

Please add the ability to upload images from mobile where i don’t have to hack my way around viewing the site as desktop. Also this doesn’t work when i take a photo with my phone. The 2mb upload limit and lack of support for HEIC and HEIF makes it impossible. If you can implement this on the classifieds, you can implement it on the forum.

He only said Kempton Park. I'm convinced it's the same guy. I did ask for the address. He stopped replying.

Mark 1 with original Canon grip and batteries. Lenses include a 50mm and 17-85mm. 16 and 32 gig CF cards. I need to confirm the shutter count but based on the condition of the body i don’t see it being more than 15 to 20k

Any chance the address was in Kempton Park?

Q: How do you know that someone does crossfit, is vegan, or has an MBA? A: They tell you. Some of us just choose to not shove it down everyone's throats.

That does make me wonder. I've never received money through paypal before so I have no idea how that even works.

I stopped the baiting at this point. Going to ignore him from here on as he is now requesting that I send a payment request etc. I really don't feel like opening a fake PayPal account. Time is against me. Be careful out there. Don't ever release anything until you've can confirm that the money is yours. If it seems too good to be true then it normally is.

Email sent with my "PayPal" email. Now we wait for the fake POP.

I agree 100%. I bought my Wahoo Tickr from Buycycle which I believe is part of Ikambi. Always excellent service.

Next response: "PayPal is a secure way of making online payment PayPal is easier, faster and secure just visit www.paypal.co.za and register add your bank account details once am done with the payment PayPal will transfer the money into your bank account immediately, PayPal is the third party that will monitor the transaction between the buyer and seller for safer transactions so both of us won't get ripped off."

Sounds like a plan

Exactly. I've seen this "please phone my husband, he is interested" a few times. 99% of the time it is a scam. I doubt anyone really looking for a camera is going to say "bokkie, gooi open that facebroeks and find me a lekka kamera. I want to make kiekies of the kinners"

Here we go! "After careful considerations. I had suggest we make use of PayPal for both our sake, it's secure and protects every transactions done through them. Do you have an account with PayPal? So I can make payment."

The conversation has now turned to asking how much it is. Clearly didn't read the advert. I advertised it for R9500 and gave the price over Whatsapp as R11500. He accepted it without negotiating. Another indicator of a scam. A real interested party will almost always ask if the price is negotiable.
