Rad006, it slots in between LX and XT. I read somewhere i think on shimano's website the LX is now more for "trekking" and the SLX for XC racing.. Cheers

Sounds very familiar...someone told me it is "Sports induced asthma"..I take a anti histamine pill the morning of the race. I found this works for me to breath better. Something in the air makes my nose run like crazy and leave a wet trail behind like a snail. How absurd is this, mtbiker allergic to the outdoors, but the anti histamine makes it better

Kry vir jou die Proofhide (daai leer wax) en coat hom aan die onderkant wat hom sal waterproof en die bokant ook so elke 6 maande. Dit sal die leer voed en sag maak.

Ek het jou gese...Hy raak beter met tyd tot die leer mooi sag is...Sal nooit weer 'n ander saal ry as 'n brooks nie..

GFishy, hoe is die brooks saal? Gaan n rukkie vat om in te breek..

Has no one got anything to say about a Bianchi Nirone??

What do the hubbers think about this Bianchi advertised?? I think it will look very nice with those Vento wheels advertised.. Thx

Now that Retro Bling!

Which one are you looking at? B17 Std is still GBP35. The Swift is GBP89.99 and those with titanium rails are more expensive..

You're rigght they're not cheap if you are going to import them...luckily my boss went to UK for business trip and I had it delivered at his hotel..paid no import duties/vat.. Look at www.sjscycles.co.uk. I found them to sell the brooks saddles the cheapest and their service is excellent. B17 Standard retails for GBP35 when I last looked.. Looks odd on your bike..like post office bicycle..can really vouch for these saddles damn comfortable..Cycling shorts were invented for poor narrow saddles..Will never trade my brooks for italian etc..

I agree with Holly Roller, find the one with best technical advice..I recently paid a visit to a well known shop in JHB and the young salesman told me I'm looking at R18,000 for the Ultegra SL groupset!..when I asked about Easton EA70 wheelset he went on how i should rather get carbon deepsection wheels. I asked for the weight limit on a particular wheelset on a bike on the floor and got the response "no the bike weighs in at about 8.5kg's". They had nice bikes though.. ya well no fine

Thanks Rad..still considering all options...Just thought i check who else is riding it..

Hi Hubbers Can I pleez have your thought and comments on this frameset?? Anyone riding it? Thanks

Kranswurm, i bought a Paddleyak Swift Hybrid kayak about 2 years ago from JL. Extremely stable kayak and turns nicely for 59cm wide kayak. Build quality is top notch and you will be very satisfied. I regret having sold mine for a K2 when I got into racing..But I still have my Barracuda K1 & Fenn Mako 6 surfski which is flippen awesome

Got my 08 Nabraska for R6,100 in the beginning of the year

Silverback Nabraska

Will also depend on the rear cassette you're running..i.e. a 50/11 combination has a higher ratio than 53/12.

The dakota ar R5900 is also good value..

got mine for R6100 special deal...retail is around R6900.. lekker bike, want to buy one?

return the dud shoe and rather get the Olympic Hurricanes for R550..

What threat did the cyclists pose? It's all fine - give 7 days notice so that millions can strike 2morrow, loot shops, smash car windows, burn trains and busses, intimidate other commuters, disrupt the traffic and etcc.. I hate this f*cking banana republic and mentality

Vermy Muesli and liqui fruit breakfast punch as breakfast. Ek het amper met canoe race 'n watergeboorte gehad..

Thanks guys..i know this has been debated till death on the hub..but is veloce good compared to 105/ultegra? Haven't had the luxury to pilot a road bike with these groupsets but considering buying parts painstakingly and building it..in the mean time riding the mtb..
