  1. Looking forward to Stage 9! 👀😎. Let the chaos begin… a little dust never killed anyone!😜
  2. Chris needs an ego check. When you no longer relative to your performances, it’s time to bow out gracefully. He hasn’t Accepted it. Let’s see what he can do in Spain… I hope his saddle position is perfect. 😜
  3. I don’t reckon Jonas should do the TDF, his recovered but is he truly ready to race or is this Visma trying to square off and salvage this season? Jonas going Racing is… all PR. I wish we could see him at his best but that will have to wait for 2025.* * this is course are based on mY own opinion and no “AI” generated content.😅
  4. You need strong lighting to dodgy a ‘kudu’ at night…🤭
  5. I think all the amazing years made up for it. Santa got comfortable with how they run the shop and Greg just plain out grew them, going. Back to 2021, he should left then, but this is a big family and not many riders have such loyalty. Greg has depth not many have. So much respect for this dude. This is when we can say: local is lekker! 🇿🇦
  6. Yeah loved it! We forget the length this boys been racing! Hats off to the most successful cyclist from this neck of the woods. I do hope the work his doing with Norco will translate to been part of the team once his done rushing down mountains.✅👍🏻
  7. ..it’s the Euro Cycling one?
  8. Buffalo style, at least you got it today and not temurrow.🤭
  9. It seems his a danger to himself outside of a kitchen. I bet he told that helmet it’s fortune….😂😂😂
  10. Apparently owning one in South America is a big big thing. 😂😂😂
  11. I’d do a U -turn…🤭 and exchange pleasantries, on how we both love bikes and almost only one us gets to take it home without damage. 😂😂😂
  12. Drove through Grant Ave tonight , starting to look super dodgy. The problems from Louis Botha Rd are closing in on the area. Pity that.
  13. At least you doing better than the Rand.🤙🏻
  14. I believe Ben is going to Jayco… ✅
  15. .. always going to be smart cat around the corner.🤭 I was waiting for this kind of post! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
  16. I doubt his going to be at his best… he might do a sponsorship contract to show face and bail on the Alps so at least Christmas shopping is covered. I see a podium of new players… definitely not Remco. Will be an amazing TDF if Pogi cracks from Giro fever.🙃
  17. …something fishy about the Dane?😜
  18. Those were expensive… my folks couldn’t afford it. I did however watch a guy bail on a downhill on one, the 3 speeds were coast / fast / crash. 😂😂😂
  19. That bike…. I decided to do a full custom bike now that I could actually afford it in my late 20’s. Took me around a year to build and a hefty cost of around 70K in 2006. I got stuff via Italy/ France/ Germany and the US. The idea was to build a real weight weenie rig like nothing seen in this neck of the woods. -Frame: Specialized Roubaix Gen1, got this in the first ever limited batch that came direct from Utah when Specialized was a cool brand doing nice carbon innovation with the Zertz inserts. -Wheels: FIR Galaxium carbon blades spokes with Michelin Pro Lite tires (pumped to 120 of course 😂😂😂) - Chorus 10spd levers / cranks / rear & front all custom modified with Campag titanium cassette, TA chainrings and TA BB (141g) running on hollow pin campag chain and lighter pulley wheels. -Cables were Nokon which an upgrade of note with Mavic SSC brake callipers. -Saddle was the Limited Edition Saeco Gilberto Edition Fizik. -Speed play CSC team edition pedals. -Finished off cockpit with Deda Antera one piece bar. I also made a custom stem adapter for my Polar, way before it become a thing. I should have patented that idea. 🤓 Everything on this build at the time was not available in SA, it was a sub 8kg which back then was ultra special. So I got a lot questions were ever this bike raced and many compliments. I won a few races on this bike and it’s the most comfortable bike I ever owned. Damn I miss that beauty. They just don’t build them like this anymore. 😑
  20. The TDF is coming up…. Spend time watching others fall off their bikes, for now just do small intervals, TT to the fridge and back for a cool one and practise some VO2 max with a willing partner. No seriously, get some rest and your body will let you know it’s time to head out again. We all been there and we all have our various experiences but it’s a journey. Best of luck.✅😅
  21. The Brun Machine is an animal… someone needs to test him.
  22. Eish… they they trying to get off Scott free! 😅 it’s part of their brand culture. Sorry boss.
  23. The buyers market is going to get flooded as Temu start making more clone brands available. I’ve already sounded the alarm before when Fake Shimano chains hit the markets. Guys lookout and ask where the item was purchased if need be. If the price is too good to believe, it probably is. Let’s try keep this clean and make sellers more accountable for their goods.
