HeyYou

bump

Scary, not a nice experience, happy that you came out of it healthy and perhaps wiser (and thanks for helping make us wiser). I agree with those who've said report it to the cops and then go your insurance. I agree too with those suggesting some sort of tightening up on HUB security, whether by admin or ourselves .... maybe a thread/section where prospective buyers / sellers can ask for references from other bubbers. I know this is supposed to be what the ratings are for, but they're easily gippo'd.

I chose the bike, now I have lots of them!

Although I love the steel, this is my 'long' ride steed.

OK, they're all my favourites, but here's a recent addition.

I have too many bikes to post pictures here, sorry guys (most of them are steel, though). But you all have some very, very nice ladies. For the Bianchi fans, I've just received this: https://docs.google....eWF5NXQ4LXc6MA

Bump Further funding needed?????

Firstly, it's nice to hear of a 15 year old enjoying the sport and even nicer to hear your winning. But, it's always a good idea to leave a good thing alone. Don't try to fix something that is working, most often it stops working! In other words, if you are winning, don't change anything, just keep winning. If you stop winning, then try something different, but small changes at a time, so you can keep track of what works and what doesn't.

Very, very good story. Thanks, I loved it, sent link to my son and daughter in UK. All I can add is, wait, wait till your over 60, it gets better.

other than the paint job, looks about the same weight as my Commencal!

+++1. I too started riding BH (before helmets). It was wrong then, wrong now. It's right to point out to someone their selfishness, but, perhaps, not their stupidity! PS: still riding with my 2012 K2C number on my bike, but I'm a poser, who cares?

Thanks ASG. Seems to me a frank exposure of your side of the story. But, I don't understand what is so sensitive in what you present, that it couldn't have been written upfront, on page 1, and the issue discussed openly. Anyway, at least we have your side now. Would be nice to hear what the OP replies.

If they round, carbon and 'fast', I think they could be mine!!! (tongue in cheek ... cheeks stronger than legs)

I must admit to being confused. The OP makes a number of accusations and he's not the only one. ASG post a message, but not one of the accusations is answered. There's a whole lot of white noise in between (or perhaps black noise). But, the questions remain: Who does the JACARANDA belong to? Is the contract, that was signed, still in force? What contract was signed? (one has been presented, but no answer from ASG) Is the CLUB demurring from pursuing this in court because of the costs of litigation? I'm sure there are others, but I'll leave to those more intelligent than me to list them. just too many thumbs

Or you could just use STRAVA!

The thlot pickens. Any response ASG?

The Hounds of Baskerville! Not sure whether they're at the spruit, or on the HUB. Whatever, lucky it's only typing and not voice over.

Not sure of all the details in this matter but this is why protecting your cycle/event races name by means of a trade mark is important, this is what i specialize in. TMs / Copy Rights are easy to register, I have a few, but it's enforcing them that's takes the Benjies. Couple of days in court costs a lot of money!! ps my MULTIQUOTE NOT WORKING

Any comment from ASG? CSA?

There's quite a lot of smoke around an ASG / CSA conspiracy. So, methinks there must be some fire. Would be nice to get some truth, but I suspect we won't.

To paraphrase someone quite infamous: It's not about the bike! Just Enjoy IMHO Steel is Real, but that's been said before.

Maggots. Strength to you Gerald.

I don't know NW from slime, but I've read lots of the posts. Good luck in resolving this, I'd tend to agree that you play hardball, little to lose now.

Good thread this! I was 2nd last in 2011 and only because I cheated, otherwise would have been last! Knew I couldn't get off my bike and walk those last few steps from under the N2 bridge, so hopped the pavement. Gave me 100m on the guy who was 2nd last. He came last.

3 of 5, the other 2 are a MASTER PIU AND A C40.
