  1. There it is. Must admit I beamed with pride watching this back then.
  2. Hope it will be like 2007 with Barloworld in the mix. Couldn't find the pic of the team on the front of the train down the Champs.
  3. Good stuff!
  4. What if I put it to you, that the 10k difference in asking price between Super Record and Record (for a weight advantage of 200grams) can go a long way towards a set of Bora's???
  5. Me too. My heart skipped a few beats when I read the OP's post. Last year I phoned a shop, told them what I wanted (brand, colour, size). They said yep, we can get it. They emailed me 2 days later saying your frame is here. I paid them by EFT, then called the missis asking her to go by the shop to collect it. Like the OP here, I trusted a bike shop. Doesn't matter what industry you're in, if you doing business with people there's got to be some level of trust. From the sounds of it, the bikeshop involved in this matter....... The less said the better.
  6. Cool thanks.

  9. How do you get your seeding? When you collect number or do they issue beforehand?
  10. "pre-order 2012 bikes now..." They event checked their own website in a while then.
  11. I'd like to see the roll out of cycle lanes be driven by a safe cycling concept. You can have all the cycle lanes in the world but if it's unsafe, people just won't use it. An example would be taxis tail gaiting or cutting off and slamming on brakes in front of a cyclist in order to pick up commutors. Thats the argument for your point 1 above. I think at some point we will have to share the road with motorists even if in limited areas (saturday morning training ride for example. Cycle lane may not do for your session). And here the attitude of motorists would need to change. They have to be made accountable for their actions. I would like to see a law that makes it possible for motorists to be charged with murder where their actions ended the life's of other road users.
  12. Me neither but this indaba is exactly about getting more people to commute etc. per se, and we have to leverage that to our own advantage. As cyclists we hardly ever get anyone to listen to our issues, so we have to use this platform carefully. Going in there pushing our own "agenda" may not get us much sympathy so we have to be seen to be subscribing to this "more commuters, cleaner environment, healthier population" stuff. It's all valid of course so we have play the politics to get the best results.
  13. Sorry about your bike My sister in CPT was telling me a colleague of hers had his bikes stolen like that. Apparently the guys walk around with gadgets to override your garage door remote. She now have a sliding barrel bolt on the inside of her garage door for added security and they disconnect the power to the garage door at night. In JHB I don't clean my bike in full view of passers by.
  14. Hahahaha. His not from the East Rand, his from East Enders.... Try finding Cycle Lab East Rand on Facebook. They ride from the shop in Boksburg (I Think).
  15. Yorrr. 3 or 4 days would've been better
  16. Will keep an eye on this

  18. I still didn't enter but almost confirmed I will be in Jorzi. Is there late entries?
  19. That was Facebook update earlier in the week. This weekend the doctors will have a much clearer idea regarding his injuries. All positive signs though.
  20. "I think it's a big progress today on Jevandre Pauls , eyes are open for at least 5min , gave me a shup with his thump on my thump, even hugged a nurse, but using only his left side, still no talking , one day at a time ,Looks like our Boy is coming out acoma slowly, after our 5min interaction ,they say it will take 48h again for the response. Faith is on our side."
