    Better explain what an esky is. The locals have no idea....
  2. 4 pages of this? OP: Get over yourself, all this self importance of mouthing off at other cyclists is way over the top behaviour. And it's likely to get you klapped sooner or later. Pity I don't know where Atlas Rd is. Even if I do detest violence. It's called road rage. And it's pathetic. When driving do you chase every car down and confront the driver every time you see them break a road rule?
  3. Clearly not intellectual midgets like yourself. But anyone with a smidgen of intellect does. What big tex did to her was just appalling. And the others he bullied for seeking to out him. Well said.
  4. The interview: http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/715027579.jpg?key=670328&Expires=1357724657&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIYVGSUJFNRFZBBTA&Signature=TGHGvjsQiAXeY15IKAj14rlYm4ODYXhvvnVsIKx2eAXW4TGJS4kzYygpgpFLQcAL-D7PbWFI8tKi4EtFgVZNoJHjvW5PSbnelO9rtMS7QmOzhl~A1fG8PBNuuast~I7zhdrfMO6Qm-qR-zbXVNjVJ841~6F~UHE1tyELtQnEwBU_
  5. Why a number plate? Why not just force cyclists to wear a number on their shirts like we do at races? It's highly effective, just ask the guys who get letters from the PPA for peeing in public at races. But really guys, why no worry about what you do and stop being so parraat (sp. Help me here cat girl) worrying about what others are doing UNLESS they endanger you? Yesterday our group was riding through Fish Hoek, our light turned green and we went, some ******** going the other way gave us a disgusting display of the verbals and what criminals we were for not obeying the law. His light was red and he just assumed ours was too. Idiot.
  6. I went down this route. I wasn't able to come close to your R6,000 after it got delivered in South Africa. There is the cost of the frame, the freight and then clearance and VAT in SA. And the wait. Then I was concerned about warranty and having to return it to China if something broke. The costs keep adding up, my bank add a bit too for paying my money out in UD$, even paypal costs extra when dealing with China. Instead I bought the same frame when I saw it advertised on the hub, got it immediately, I have a lifetime 5 day exchange warranty and I paid almost exactly what I would have had I brought it in myself and waited 2 or 3 months. This is the ad: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/44392-29er-dual-suspension-carbon-frames/ I have been riding for 4 months now and I'm very happy.
  7. Strava just went tits up: http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/01/news/armstrong-still-the-tour-champion-or-so-he-says-on-social-media_270725 Actually, just shows this thread title is correct.
  8. There is absolutely no law banning cyclists from riding on the road side of the yellow line. Just like it is perfectly legal for me to ride in the middle of the road when coming through Kalk Bay. As long as I am not riding 2 abreast UNLESS I am overtaking another slower cyclist. Then I am allowed to ride 2 abreast. Too many opinions, not enough facts on these threads.
  9. Are they so desperate to escape from Potch? Even death or being maimed is a better option...
  10. Didn't Marco Fontana lose his seat post on the last lap of the Olympics MTB race? On a Cannondale of course?
  11. Which means neither you nor I can comment on the article...polar opposites on this topic?
  12. I'm surprised the smartest man on the hub with his obvious and deep seated resentment of guys riding expensive kit hasn't picked up on this theme yet. Then again maybe I'm not surprised as, luckily for us, he seems to avoid the cycling threads. If one can call a thread started to avoid having to spend time with the wife while on holiday a cycling thread...
  13. POS you missed this one: The obvious and deep seated resentment of the amount others spend on their kit. A recurring theme in almost every one of his threads. So tedious.
  14. And there you have it. Everything else is irrelevant. Until you find the value of s.
  15. Clearly you should ride more then
  16. You nominated yourself.
  17. Have a look at the booth on www.carbon29er.com, I got one and I'm really enjoying it. And rand for rand I have far more bike than any of your 3 options listed. My medium comes in at 11.6kg with everything at only R35k.
  18. As the smartest man on the hub I'm surprised you need to ask this question.
  19. And I'm called peta in real life too. Maybe cos I ride like a big girl's blouse?
  20. Is it riding cow girl? Or bike riding you want to know abouy?
  21. And don't forget to ride in the middle of the road so some @r$ehole motorist can right to the hub complaining about this noob from the Cape who is a road hog.....
  22. If eyecandy is too slow for Eldron you're going to have to ride the single speed BMX Dangle
  23. Why? took you longer to work out who the idiots were?
  24. That's what criminals do no matter where they are in the world?
