  1. Glad you are okay... Well done on taking it to them. You don't ever know what you are going to do in situations like that; until you are actually in the situation... A frikken gynormous bastard tried to mugg me a year back and I just leaned into his ear and quietly told him what I was going to do to him. (not that I could have done much really, he was huge) But, afterwards I couldn't really believe I did that... Just glad that you are ok.
  2. I really don't think you get better value for money than a Jura... even though they are a bit over your budget. Ps: it may save you a bit of moola to look at the Prestige Foamer instead on trying to buy an integrated foamer. I picked up a Prestige foamer from Checkers at R250. and I am 110% happy with it... in fact it's been my favourite new toy for the last 4 months. (it's a spindle foamer, not a pressure steam foamer) Happy shopping!
  3. Dude - if you know what you want, then go straight to the LBS in Westdene. Those guys will probably give you a 15% discount as well.
  4. Beautiful - is that an old "King"
  5. I'm in sales - but my Golf sucks. I'd love to take a client out on a Ride or two. Just never want to take a client FOR a ride... MTN Tour of Legends has this sort of "business while mountain biking idea"
  6. Really sad to hear this. I ran the Northgate race this year and she won the ladies title with a blistering time. Sad, so sad to hear this.
  7. Thank you guys! Really appreciate the input! Gators it will be. I missed the R350 price at the expo. I know cos I had a good chat with the guy and he wouldn't drop. I can only that think they started running low on stock and put the price back up to R480. went to 2 LBS's yesterday and neither had stock. Will check in with Solomons next week and ask nicely for a good price. Will also see if the guys at Westdene have a 15% off deal again. Thanks, Thanks!
  8. Hi, I am about to be making yet another cycling comeback. When I left off (2yrs back) I had been having some problems with my tyres. Basically, if I rode over a small stone at 25km/hr or faster - I'd get a leak. I looked at Gatorskins at the 94.7 expo and I'm not sure I can afford 2 at R480 each. The salesman said that Bontrager had a strong tyre at R250 each. Are they any good? Any other suggestions? is there perhaps a link to a similar topic? thanks for the help
  9. ouch ouch
  10. Difficult question... It's a machine and machines depreciate. I would think 75%-80% of purchased price if it was still in perfect condition. Maybe 50%-75% of purchased price if it showed signs of use.
  11. This is the prize right here! It's up to us as cyclists to take the responsibility to set the standard. No helmet no ride.
  12. I see that this has been another famously heated thread. But I think you raise a good point... When I bought my Polar, Discovery wasn't logging points on it. A number of years later they decided it was a good idea. The question I have, is this: Does anybody know any Vitality decision makers who could review Garmin and put Garmin points tracking into action?
  13. Good to hear... How far is it from Traders to Dolphin beach? 7km? 10km? It'd be amazing to have a good cycling lane in Gauteng... They'd probably slap a toll system on it though
  14. Went from 53 big ring to 55... Fast enough to overtak traffic on Wiliam Nicol
  15. That is seemingly a sound argument, IF this is true... Everybody is assuming that it is a viable concern. I am suggesting that it is going the way of decay and that there actually isn't enough money to sustain the track in the present term and form.
