The Bike Vendor

Brilliant! You have us cracking up this side 🥁

Hi guys, Only saw this now, we sure came to the party, Michael sent a WhatsApp after getting some input on here, we got the rim, replaced it totally free of charge as part of our 30 Day Mechanical Satisfaction included with every single bike, drove to Michael from Pretoria to Johannesburg, 140KM round trip, met up at 19:30 close to his house and hand delivered his newly rebuilt wheel, free of charge.

Hi guys, Only saw this post now.

En wat beteken dit nogals?

I'm agreeing here... On the road bike I hate it when people don't greet you back. And it's the fun riders that don't even raise a hand It's just normal for me that cyclists greet each other, but it seems things are changing...

Go google

My first official day @ Cycle Tech Kyalami Enjoy the week guys!

Very unfair bull***t if you ask me...

I agree 100%! Some shops are stepping up to the plate, just give them a while

So no more specials then??

Hi guys, I'm in Gauteng, where would I get a specialized dealer? Thanks

CRC is deur die *** die afgelope ruk

Wow! I have never had this bad experience Well not bad just plain STUPID! I was looking for a new frame and saw the Be0ne Raw 2011 frames were on sale @ R5780 for a full carbon frame and fork weighing in @ under 1.3kg, it's cheap! I placed my order with extras, added up to R5960. I Paid and this was on friday night! I read and it said they will dispatch on SATURDAYS. I then saw the conformation that said it would be shipped on Monday, no biggy only 2 days. Then today I got an email saying that the product is out of stock in the WHITE COLOR, I then wanted to order a red frame. All 53cm frames were available in 3 colors. Now not even one 53cm frame is left! This is very, very poor service! Having to wait 5 days for them to respond and 4 of them were business days

It's always the fun riders who make the **** OR the guy that rides fast for a fun rider and thinks that he is a Pro I have never been rude to a fellow cyclist in a race when passeing them in bunches (when I was still younger) or when riding with them when the Elites popped me... They are usually mean to me Point is... You are no better than any other guy on the road, fun rider or not! We all enjoy the sport

1. Well I have never even had a frame that long . My dad has a full carbon bike and has been using it for about 5 years now and no worries yet. I think if you race professional a carbon frame won't last too long but if you just train I think it shoUld last you a life time! 2. I train with my Zipp 404 and no problem with training hey, only thing is if you train with them you can fall and damage them due to training. I took a plunge and snapped my 2 week old Corima Carbon wheels because I trained with them 3. No, just like normal parts. My whole bike is made up of carbon. B esides my seat and my brake calipers Go carbon I have a full aluminium training bike and when you get on the racing bike it's just something else!

Well I have a choice between SRAM Red and Campy Chorus 11 speed...Think I'll go with Campy Great article!!

Team is going on then Riders that have been signed: Leon Slabbert Aston Davies Christiaan Mostert 1 spot left in the 2012 squad.

Good one

Nice!!!! Well we have Mr. Louis Meintjes... Signed with Lotto for next year Wow how he gets me motivated by just doing what he does! He is also 19 and has beaten all the Pro's in SA, on the climbs not on flat stages.

Thanks TNT

So true!! That's the huge problem they have here! And what Look frames... Look at the attachments You see the thing I liked about MTN is, they don't expect results! It's all about development. At this stage it's just stupid, they take kids from 1st year U16 to 2nd year Junior and then there is no U23 team to feed them into. That is a waste of time and a loss of talent!

Hmm sounds to me more like he is bragging. I was only trying to state that these 4 1st year Juniors are the reason for the 2012 U23 team's existence. They will join/replace the 4 riders in 2013 when they are U23.

Lees mooi... We have guys who are now Junior 1st year and in 2012 2nd year and will then join the 4 man team that we are making for 2012 in 2013. The reason we want to start the U23 team in 2012 is to get a nice view of how to runs it so it can be perfect for the guys coming in @ 2013...

Great idea! Bietjie korny maar wie gee om!
