  1. That's what i thought... but after getting the 2009 prices, BH customers will be smiling
  2. What... No BH in the line-up??? We got the pictures, specs and prices of the 2009 full line-up from them last night, am i am still smiling. Watch this space, bacause the 2009 will blow you away! Nothing will come close I cannot release photos yet, but let's just say if you buying a road bike, you will feel like an AG2R rider
  3. ETXEONDO... Best Fit, Best Quality! You say it: 'Eish... ondo' They have made clothing for most of the great tour riders over the years. They currently make the kit for Euskaltel Euskadi (Bright orange okes in the tour). In fact, some tour riders over the years have been known to send their sponsors kit to Etxoendo to have their famous Golden Shammy in... Yes, it's that good. Many styles and colours to choose from. If you in Gauteng, pop into Illovo Cycles or try Cycle Lab Fourways if they still have stock. This is the famous shammy... 4 layer SINTHETIC shammy. Nice padding, great moisture control and great friction resistance.
  4. Check out the crash on video http://www.versus.com/videoPlayer/?artID=72710&catID=566
  5. IMO - Gotta be honest... that is a really stupid comment. Mock it all you want' date=' but that i a show and an individual that has done more for cycling than most things/individuals in SA.[/quote']What? Owen was tested, found positive, and by this thread's rules, he should have gone to jail.Or worse, sweet young phen suggested cutting his head off, and pothers want eunuchs... The comment was fair... you missed my point. My comment about it being stupid was bacause of the 'StupidCycling' chirp...

  8. Short answer: YES! But, this is only if they are proven guilty. I am sick of hearing 'His A sample had something, but we are waiting for his B sample...' It should be released when they have an answer, Guilty or not. And as for this guilty until proven innocent rubbish, it is pathetic! One bored journalist can make some stupic statement and mess up an athletes life... even if there is no truth in it. I was watching Sky just now and they were chatting about the Dwayne Chambers story. Basically a 100m sprinter who confessed to using drugs. Now they are in the high court because he wants to lift the life-time ban so he can go to Beijing. Im sorry, but WTF? He confesses to cheating, and he is being entertained because he is britains best hope for a medal in the sprints. If you break the LAW in sport, you are a cheat. You should be banned, not only from your sport, but from sport in general for LIFE. No grey area, no special treatment of one athlete over another... LIFETIME BAN! Find another area for business. Lastly though, we can't lose interest in a race or sport that has a few (ok, quite a few now) bad apples who are willing to cheat. I know someone personally riding the tour now, and to give up on the guy who are clean (and there are some) would be really unfair.
  9. This was his TT machine...
  10. Astana BH from a few years ago. This was Vino's BH TT Machine... swift2008-07-17 23:34:26
  11. Do you want a set of these Pantani? I had a set a while ago, and i got flack for it. These would suit your bike and so could get away with it...
  12. bwahahaha' date=' why does everybody ask if I'm actually going to ride it? I ride demmit... From time to time I ride... lol [/quote'] Pantani is suffering from a bad case of 'riders block'. But he was out this morning in full force. NICE BIKE MATE, it really looks good!
  13. What other colours do you like?
  14. Ya, there are loads more...
  15. Ideas from our BH range...
  16. Etxeondo is the business... Plus, take into account how much you spend when you get sick? How much time off work you take? Etc... So that's why a jacket you can wear down to about -5 with just an undervest on underneathe is more than worth it
  17. Go through to Morningside Cycles or Illovo Cycles. Both have stock of long winter pants. Etxeondo - Best Fit, Best Quality!
  18. Probably made in the same factory Might not be far off the truth... as most international frames are made in a few factories in the east. This does not mean they anywhere near the same quality as eachother though...
  19. Looks a lot like our BH Global Concept G4...
  20. Ok, those in the know say: There is very little difference between 3K and 12K weave. The strength comes from the structural layers of carbon underneathe and the weave you can or can't see is mainly cosmetic.
  21. Interesting stuff, thanks Christie and Mercx
  22. The problem is the pressure. Most MTB tubeless tyres run between 1.5 and 3 bar, whereas Road Tubeless would be upwards of 6 bar. This is a lot lower than 8 or even 13 bar, but still a problem. Huchinson are working on a new sealant, so i will let you all know what they come up with... if it's not already avaiable already.
