Going to pick this up a bit later this morning... http://www.cyclelab.com/Images/Products/1011.jpg

have you given Westdene Cycles a call. They generally have a lot of stock so you might get lucky there

This is such bad news!!! Hopefully they get picked up by other sponsors quickly!!!

This is such bad news!!! Not that I was the biggest supporter of Team 360-life, but they inspired a lot of young MTB'ers in South-Africa... They should set an example with him. If we catch you doping, you will be banned for life and all titles will be stripped. All prize money should also be returned! Real K@K news for Kevin as well...

I bought a pair of Lake shoes at three towers at a great price(marked down from R2999 to R799). Have ridden with them a couple of times now and have no complaints. They are very stiff with the carbon soles which takes a while getting used to but they are very comfortable. I have the same tightening system on my golf shoes(Footjoy Reelfit - uses the same BOA system) and they have been going for more than 3 years without a problem. At that price I doubt that you will find anything better. I also wear a size 10 and went for a size 45 in the Lakes...

Damn you Tim!!! So bummed that I am missing the last one for the year

Hot Spot Cycles in Pretoria has it listed for R19 900. Maybe give them a call and arange a deal? http://www.hotspotcycles.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13&Itemid=12

I have to agree with you on this one svan. I play of a 3 handicap, and my golf has cost me a lot less in the past year than my MTB(less than half). And I have given both equal attention. The gear and general maintenance on a bicycle costs a lot more than playing golf...

Yip, It is still at that price on the Cyclelab floor...

Sorry for the hijack, but what do you guys think of this bike? http://www.cyclelab.com/products/TREK%20SUPERFLY%20100%20CARBON%20(2012).aspx Solomons is clearing it @ R27,999

Ive set my max at 30k. Anything above that I will have to start earning an Income from cycling and that's not going to happen any time soon. I bought myself a Silverback Ventura last year May at R7000. At the time I thought that it is a lot of money but in the last year and a bit Ive come to realize that this is not a cheap sport. Will ride my silverback for the foreseeable future with all other living expenses sky rocketing...

I have also dealt with David(Guy who does the BG Fit setup), and only had good experiences with him. Never bought a bike there or had it serviced there though...

I had a pretty decent ride on Saturday in the 70km until we passed the church. Hit the wall on that second climb and suffered all the way to the finish. My back is still hurting after Saturday!!! Awesome route though and great organisation. For sure the toughest Nissan race by a country mile!!!

Did you ride the Believe race this year? We basically started in the middle of a thunder storm and the organisers just announced that if you start its at your own risk... I Don't think they will cancel for bad weather

The label states:"KEEP THIS PRODUCT OUT OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN" - I assume that ties up with it being suitable for children of 5 years and older...

Ill be doing the 70km on Saturday as well...

You can get the 2012 brand new for R28k at solomons

Looks like an awesome bike!!! Any idea on the price?

She's already the National MTB Marathon Champion. If she invests more time into her MTB she will definitely be our top rider. After the whole olympics episode I don't blame her!!!

Thanks for everything Geoff!!! What an awesome awesome event!!!

This was my first stage race, and man what an experience!!! I had a huge mechanical right at the start on day 1 but after that it went pretty well. Also stripped a cranset at the end of stage 2 but lucklily the Valencia mechanics had me sorted in no time. I will definitely be back in 2013!!!

This is going to be my first stage race!!! Cannot wait to get started!!!
