HeyYou

Mind you, I need to stop buying bikes, period! 6 in the last 6 weeks. Used to be a hobby, then a passion, now I think a COMPULSION!!!

55cm c2c seat tube 54cm c2c top tube I think I paid too much for it, R10k, but it's in pristine condition, with Shamals, a panto'd seat post and the kevlar saddle is just too nice. weighs in at 8.5kg (so ex owner tells me) The owner (ex) bought it new in '93 and he's not ridden it much. He lives overseas for 8 months, here for 4 and prefers his mtbs here, roads just too dangerous he says. He rides other bikes when he's overseas. My other MO is a slightly later model, has the seat stays going into the seat lug, I think it's a '95. That one I have Record 8spd, with Deltas, I think the last generation, about '94. I need to stop buying Nago's now, I have 8 of them and I'm broke!

Just bought this today. Pristine condition, Dura Ace 7400. I'm open to offers!

Has anyone else seen this??? I've just entered, I'm going to be in the UK anyway. http://www.eroicabritannia.co.uk

Could turn this around and ask how come some now in T Sky were pretty average before?

Just seen I'm on my TRIPLE NELSON!!!! Thanks guys. Javadude, I can't find any reference to Pelizzoli building Carrera frames, it seems Carrera was started in 1989: http://www.carrera-podium.it/en/ anyway, I'll keep searching of course. For those collecting real antiques, I came across this site, very interesting. http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/

Just bought this, cost me R1.8K, but I think it was worth it. Not too many of these around, the Italian ones anyway. Lot's of the UK Halfords ones, made in China. But these were, and are still as far as I know, hand built in Italy.

Exactly, they do little for you, but as much as they can for themselves! Is that what you're saying?

Yo must be employed by DISCOVERY, obviously, no way do you get what you pay for, otherwise how would they make so much profit??? Should make you think!

How will you feel if you must sell everything you have to pay for your operation when discovery wont pay the bill 100% Do you mean DISCOVERY HEALTH (or whatever they are called), IS the real problem????? Wouldn't surprise me, I was with them for years, then DISCOVERED that my life wasn't worth as much to them as it was to me. Probably why they're called DISCOVERY edit grammar

It's about the lawyers peeps, it's about the lawyers!!!! I have TMs, but unless your prepared to pay lotsa lotsa, which little guys can't, it's about the lawyers.

Epic Failure, should get yourself a Roubaix doll!!!

Nice site, thanks

BUMP get to the top, challenge the younger guys to check out the classics

Anyone interested????? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/71536-colnago-ti-oval-master-bike/ Is it real? Is it a bird? Is a plane? Maybe it's superbike

Again, shopping, what's with you guys, don't you have wives, girlfriends???

It's called shopping!!

At the airport when you leave. Even if leaving from a different EU country. You can buy a bike in Germany, take it with you to UK (if you going there) and then get the tax form stamped at Heathrow on leaving (or get it shipped to a UK address, or whatever). But, make sure you buy from a business that is registered with the VAT back office... Evans in the UK, Jedi Sports in Germany. for example. Get them to complete the VAT back form, so you can have it stamped at the airport on departure. The form is posted back to the supplier, shop where you bought, so take an addressed and stamped envelope, so you can post at the airport before leaving. I think their post is better than ours Also, take a photo/scan of the completed and stamped form, in case there are any problems.

SARS readers of this thread be damned, we pay enough taxes as it is!! Take an old bike box (bag) (Argus, PicknPay stickers on, whatever), some old bar tape, a scuffed saddle and some old tyres. Buy the bike, replace these and dirty and old grease on the bike. Put in old bike box and walk through. It's old and used, look.

just another tax

Yes, all I could do to stop him knocking the frame over!
