  1. Umm, the "tax man is coming" As Team Slowbee slowly starts investing in NZ, we need someone with a bit more tax savvy other than Mr Slowbee and the university of google. Do you guys have any recommendations for decent tax people? Possibly with experience in running businesses' in foreign countries?
  2. Still one of "the" threads to visit !
  3. Bazinga I miss, as in REALLY miss this event!
  4. Awesomeness that tugs at everything
  5. what about the other way round? Can you use a specialised diverge as a road bike? Drop some 303 firecrests with 30mm tyres and off you go.
  6. Still not sure. There are lots of plus's, but also negatives. Kinda depends on how our daughter responds to school over the next few months.
  7. It is a move you will not regret. Just bring lots of patience. It is real Island life down south. If you need a 'chino in a rush, place the order yesterday.
  8. So...... Specialised diverge comp (2019) and specialised roubaix sl2 (with campy, what else) Same same, but different. Actually very different. Gravel riding has not really got me going, rather lock out the mountain bike bouncy bits and then go have fun. Also the body at 50+ has been hammered around a bit. So comfort is sort of essential. However, due to wanting to commit to audax riding (PbP, LEL, IndyPac etc). I would like an endurance comfort take kit along type of road bike. The little headshock on the diverge is just a great way to make long rides comfy, very comfy. But even with 40mm slicks, it is still a gravel bike. Would you sell everything and buy a Roubaix ride bike? I dont like companies that force you into propriety kit. The new Spez Roubaix bike has a funny seat tube that you can only get from them. Similar to the Giant bikes. So it would be second hand. Or keep the stable and just drop some 303 firecrests on the diverge and just pedal faster? Or so do something silly like buy a Salsa cutthroat and put on a redshift stem? Comfort for hours on a bike eating lots of tar. What say the Hub wisdom?
  9. Bikepacking trip through what's known as the Rainbow Road on South Island NZ. One hill got to 13% and it was hike-a-bike time! Then from St Arnaud to Blenheim on tar and then back down the Molesworth Road home. Freaking amazing!
  10. Sheesh. Gotta love this place. Had out first little 4.5 shake rattle and roll down south.
  11. Hawkes Bay, Gisborne, Coromandel, sheesh guys. Hope you are all safe. The FB group of the TA Brevetis just simply crazy!
