The Bastion

Hi all, I am planning a cycling holiday in the Karoo. I need to rent a 4 bicycle towbar platform carrier. Any referrals for vendors?

Stolen: Cannondale CAAD10 2013 When: 5 January 2019 Where: Cape Town, Western Cape Stolen out of my vehicle. Reward offered Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section

Sorry, I believe this is now called the Stellenbosch Cycle Tour

Hi All, Do you need to be a PPA member for your Die Burger time to count towards your 2015 seeding???

Id be interested in your valuation of the bike seeing that you just sold an RB-2

Unfortunately they are beyond repair... holes, nibbles and very gummy

The spokes just looked a bit corroded... Ive polished them up on the front wheels and they came up pretty well... its a hell of a tedious job though. Better than spending the R1.3k for new spokes and a rebuild though!

Great to see some interest in this thread... The bike has been rebuilt and has been burning up the flat roads of my work commute. Couple of points: - The rear axle was sheered and had to be replaced - New Selle Italia XO saddle looks great matched up to the white bar tape - Is till need to import the hoods, the are pretty poked so I have wrapped them in tape for the moment - The spokes cleaned up fairly well on the front wheel (lots of work)... Still need to do the back wheel - New cables, brake pads, pedal fasteners and a bloody good polish of all the bits and pieces made all the difference. Enjoy the pics

Hi All, Much excitement... I own my very first Steel Frame bike. A Bridgestone RB-2. I like the look of the geometry and the condition is impressive, she has been stuck in a roof for 10 years!!! A bit of Googling and I'm guessing this bike is a 93 model. Specs... Shimano Exage Group Wolber WTX Rims with 105 hubs. The plan... This is where I need some advice/guidance. - Replace the brake lever hoods... Where can I get these? - Rebuild the wheelset with new spokes... Who is my best Cape Town option? And what is the expense likely to be? - Clean and polish the components - I would like to put on gum walled tires - Touch up minor chips on the paintwork and clear coat the bike. The paint work is in quite good condition Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ya... the correct term is "whif"

A quick google search shows that this model has a habit of jumping off on the ruff stuff, didnt even notice knocking it off
