If you got his address go pay him a visit with the police!!!

Have you been refunded yet? Seems to me you are buying into his BS stories once again

I agree with you

I agree, he obviously doesn't have the money and playing for time. Con artist of note and clearly gives zero .....s!!!

I agree the time frame is unacceptable and why does the refund have to take take a full day? In this day and age, to do an EFT is all of a minute or two. Pay the money or give him the bike!!!

Hope the corrugations on first 80km are not as bad as it was 2 years back. I believe last year they graded the road prior to the event? hope its the same for this Saturday.

Hi Mylolylo, I will gladly add the mount for you, i am just waiting on Canyon to get back to me on the handlebar width measurement on the L frame. It states it comes with a 410 width bar, they won't change it so just want them to confirm if it is measured from center 2 center, outer 2 outer or inner 2 inner. I am thinking that are on the narrow side for me.

Hi Sias, I take it this was for a complete bike? Am i correct in saying that a frame set only, has no duties, so is is just the 15% VAT that you will pay this side?

I have raced against Chad and had a few drinks with him after DC last year and found him to be a most pleasant and humble person. He raced 30-39 the last 2 years and only moved up to 40-49 this year. He was always one of the main contenders in the races and loved getting into breaks, normally making them stick to avoid bunch sprints. Two of my team mates loved racing with him as he never missed a turn on the front, was determined to drive the breaks and was the first to congratulate you if you beat him. I obviously don't know all that went on with him but he was/is dedicated to his training and always watching his diet, so he put in the hard work to achieve the results. I honestly don't believe he needed "assistance" and now unfortunately for him, his results and pedigree on the bike will always be questioned. He was perhaps looking for that "edge" and now has to pay the price for it.

A couple years ago when my wife and I were trying for kids, I seemed to have a problem and the urologist prescribed Proviron. I took this for 2/3 months. I was racing in licensed vets at the time. If I was tested, would have received my 2 year ban. I have never won a vets race and to be honest just enjoy finishing with the main bunch. From what I understand this stays in your system for months if not a year after taking it. So at Carnival my name gets pulled and I'm caught out. I would not care if I was bust as having kids was far more important to me then racing. Testing random vets in my opinion is a waste of time. I have to agree with Wyat ans Spinnekop

What does an entry for this event cost?

My saddle height from centre of BB to top of saddle is 78,5 and with a 400mm seat post i am short of 1,5cm. Not sure what yours is but you can work on that. I am 183cm tall

I have a new FM056, in a size 17,5" that is too small for me. If anyone is interested in perhaps swapping for a size up or to purchase, let me know. I finally have all the parts to build the bike and realised with a 400mm seatpost i will be 1,5 centimeter over the max limit on post. I am not keen on trying my luck and hence wanting the bigger frame. This particular frame was purchased from Hong-fu bikes

I used to have the same problem with sunscreen getting into my eyes. I also play lots of golf and water skiing, having fair skin i need the best protection. The product used to be called Ironman 8 hour and was designed as it name says, for the iron man athletes that are out in the sun all day. I have been using it for 6 years now and have never been sun burnt, my kids use the same product daily before school and have converted most my friends.
