Hey guys! No offense to Tarmac intended but is the deal he is offering with the 105 groupset a winner? I would like to upgrade my bike but have seen that a full 105 groupset is not cheap (in my mind). Buying it second hand would be wise? Just trying to do some research Tarmac

Thanks mampara I'll check my LBS and see what they got!

So KCNC is perhaps not the way to go (no offense to anyone) if I don't way 50kgs.

Mampara do you think the same goes for the road stuff?

Wisecrack how much was it if you don't mind me asking?

Guys now you got me doubting the stuff!!! Tokenfreak what do you use?

Mampara why do you say that?

Thanks guys! Dylan any idea where I could purchase one, or KCNC in general?

Bibity bobity boo... any suggestions?

Hey guys any recommendations on a stem for my road bike that doesn't cost a fortune and is light? (is there such thing?) Oversized 120mm. My no-name brand stem is a bit long so would like to purchase a new one. Ngiyabonga.

I did not fall- I dismounted without unclipping from my pedals

Veloce I was so all over that dropoff I dominated it!

Check my smooth sexy legs

So no one got anything they no longer use that I could make my bike lighter with and be more blitz? Donations anyone?

Shebeen I haven't done either races yet but I get what you saying. I'll just have to pedal harder so when I do get a light bike I'll be blitz

Mampara I'm really happy with my bike and how it performs- even if it did cost R4000 (which I know in cycling terms is nothing!). I'm just looking at dropping a bit of weight. I don't need a R20000 bike with all the gizmos cause I know my riding is not up to that standard to get the full moneys worth. No offense to anyone here cause I know from looking at the members pictures you guys have AWESOME bikes!

Mampara I was looking at them, but would they be lighter than what I have now? Its the type of thing I'm looking for.

Sammajoor my bike cost me just over R4000 so as cheap as possible really. Looking for things that people no longer use or have just lying in their garage- nothing fancy but just slightly better than what I have. I put Easton Vista wheels on a while ago so that made it a bit lighter- but gee she is still heavy! My budget: approx R1000 (without sounding cheap). If I can't afford what people have I'll just have to pedal harder

Hey guys I have an entry level Schwinn Fastback Sport that I'm looking at making a bit lighter and 'better'. I've been riding for about 7 months and am looking at upgrading a bit. It is standard with no-name stem, seatpost and handlebars and weighs in at approx 10kgs. It has truativ cranks and brakes and sora, tiagra compontents- so real basic stuff! Does anyone have anything affordable for me to purchase that will make this beast a bit lighter or 'better'?

Bobbie how long a ride we looking at? Or are we gonna ride till we can ride no more?

Bobbie you are the shizz! Its gonna be frikken awesome!

How hardcore is this gonna be? Cause I just started! I've ridden Giba a couple of times, but not at any speed.

I'm in! Lets do it!

Hog I got the mongoose tyax super- entry level stuff but I'm darn chuffed with it! They came with normal mongoose flat pedals so they had to go.

It was the tight 180 degree zig-zag corners going uphill that got the best of me! Without spds you can just touch your foot down but with them toppling over is a bit more of a certainty if your weight is correctly balanced- and being a newbie mine obviously wasn't My new Mongoose maintained awesomely as well!
