The type of touring I am considering is 3 or 4 days, not these month long stints. But I have been FIRMLY told (and had my man card threatened with scissors) that n+1 no longer applies. I am trying to find the best compromise between a road bike, gravel grinder and (mini) tourer. So far it seems like a spez diverge is the way to go. The new frames do allow for 3 bottles, they have holes for panniers on the rear and they also have a little suspension up front for that physiological advantage for those with back problems.

Chaps, would any of you consider a carbon bike as a tourer ?

SNAP

How many scheckles did this cost you ? EDIT: Am considering getting a one inch drive with reducers, since I can use the wrench for other applications. Or would you suggest getting two different tools.

How do you think this would affect those that have yuppie flu in the system ?

Tuxstir, drop me a PM please, with your contact details. Are you a registered builder for vans ? And can you do homologations ?

Hey guys, busy with a garage clean out. Got this from the father in law. They used to own the mill, in the then, Machadodorp. Any idea on what is worth ? Anyone wanting to take it off my hands before I go to FB market place ?

Yep, estate wines mean you are supporting the local space. This is different from the small scale farms and winemakers. I really enjopy supporting them. When you buy from a corporate farm it feels like your money is going somewhere else. Kinda odd, but ja. Like buying Lourensford wine is making Mr Wiese more money, or from Vergelegen is helping Anglo with world domination. I need to drink more wine so I can use the tinfoil to make a bigger hat.

There are just so many wines and such little time. We prefer to do estate wines (and even better if single vineyard estate wine). Call it snob, call it silly, call it what you will, but the idea that the cellar is selling you wine that was grown as part of the estate is the appeal. The farmer and winemaker working together (yes yes, possibly fantasy land). Cellars that usually buy in the grapes, tend to shop around (yes yes, I know it is contractual) and grapes come in from all over. You never really sure where the grapes you are drinking actually came from. But there is just something different about co-ops and wines that get bought in. Blends, are our least favourite. Not that we do not drink them, but blends are kind of like making something out of the nothing. Having said this, Bordeaux wines are very scumptious.

no (thankfully)

Sheesh, was it that long ago ? Now I really feel old

Between Dale and Diver, this is one of the worst threads ever ....... NOT !

NOOOOOOOO! There goes lunch .....

This is a Spanish dude. He uses photoshop to tune the images, not create them. The other image is a scottish dude. He used photoshop, to tune the images, not create them.

Great way to end the weekend with a nice warm fire to boot.

and he still used photoshop

It really is plug and play. The only tricky part is figuring out the remote to hook up the wifi.

This will be a movie one day.

On a more serious note - just keep an eye on his eating. The last thing you want is a bit of fibre piercing the stomach or intestines. Obviously you will tell the vet this little *important* fact if you even think something might be wrong.

I do not want to state the obvious, but you do know the is also a wheel missing ?

For sure, she would not want the bikes damaged.

Oh my cotton pickin soul. Those glass mugs need to be moulded into thin rimmed wine glasses. Nee sis man!

Just a quick question. The tones in your first and third pics, are really rich. However your second image looks more "white" as if you are shooting into the sun. Is this because of the settings you used or were you actually shooting into the sun? As an aside, what were the settings of the images? And also, did you do this on purpose? Asking because this always happens on my images and they always seem more "white" or over exposed.

On the topic of uummmm explosions. This may or may not have been tried.

I wanna fly
