  1. I bought Manitou Tower Pro Forks from CRC for R3300 in Jan. They are just as good as the Rockshock reba on my 26er. Just bought a steerer reducing kit as well
  2. I will sell you an unbranded copy at 1/2 price, who wants one
  3. i would check out https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/125808-chinese-carbon-thread/ and slowly build something nice
  4. Built one up already, but not branded, my own carbon chinablack for under R10k
  5. found a china factory, complete bike for R25k painted http://hengliu.en.alibaba.com/product/1695927968-218894541/chinese_carbon_bike_road_carbon_full_bike_for_sale.html
  6. so glad I buy my chinablacks directly from china, no need to worry if the pricey logo sticker is real or not
  7. So would this be the wrong time to open a genuine fake, unbranded, real thing look-a-like, bike store
  8. was dry on sunday
  9. Between 6 and 8, when we wake up :-) What time do you want to go?
  10. If I knew how.. find me on strava Dillon Gray. Basically we go down next to oid JHB on the left cross to the right after the golf course (all dirt) turn right at snake valley on the shoulder in the dirt. keep on the left all the way riding next to the fence. then onto the road running in front of Groenies which is tar. Coming back head to Voortrekker monument left onto old jhb on the right is a little bit of single track before you hook up with the path taken there. You can add in Ruimte, Samrand and Rooihuiskraal Weg all have nice dirt sections running next to the road which will add anything from 15 to 25kms to the loop
  11. and about 700m of climbing
  12. that includes 1 loop at groenies
  13. I ride from rooihuiskraal most weekends You can hook up with me this Saturday if you want, i have a route that is mostly dirt and about 60kms,
  14. Mclean and Zoerweg are flying, 50 years old and finishing top 20
  15. No thanks, Think I will protect my child from the web a little longer
  16. Trying to register myself and my son, how do you expect me to have a unique email for myself and my son?
  17. @fabs everyone want quality photos (me included), the solution is not that easy, we all have a camera nowadays and everyone is a "pro tog", so the perception of high cost will always be there. I buy the quality photos when I see them, regardless of cost, sadly I don't see many. Remember the tog will be under pressure to get a photo of everyone, so they will sit in one spot and rapid fire, cant afford to let the one get away, it might be the one that sells.
  18. I have done event photography, my take is most people want something for free, after all i just push the button........ I would have the following on me just to take your photos: 2 camera bodies canon 7d R20K each 2 low light lenses normally 24-70 mm f2.8 R25K and a 24mm f1.4 R20K 2 speedlights (flashes) R6K each remote triggers R5K 1 light stand, 4 x 16 gig memory cards, spare batteries camera bag, diffusers for flashes R7K Over R100K worth of kit to take your photo. I made more money selling at R100 a photo than R50 or R20 a photo, but no where enough to feed my family. Bottom line is to cart all that kit out into the bush, getting it dirty, lying in the mud to take "action pics", spending a day taking photos and 3 days editing was not worth the hassle. Just work out what your time is worth to you
  19. I lost my sense of humour on mount moody, anybody find it?
  20. Fitted a set of Hans Dampfs
  21. You are still a junior this year, works on your age at the beginning of the year
  22. I hate pitching my tent in the rain
  23. rain forecast all week, guess the camp site is going to be a little damp
  24. sabie, but that is my point last year I managed fine, this year it is chaos.
