Yip, there are a good few "Roof Ryers" that either cut through gaps in the fence at Rietvlei, or just speed past the shop and onto the trail before any1 sees them. CLOWNS..!!!

Haha, and that's a very cheap service and clean. A proper dual suspension full strip down and rebuild service can set you back an easy grand. And that's without fork and shock servicing or any replacement parts.

Where was your spare tjoop and extra co2 cartridges...? Anyway, flipping roadies, cant trust them...

I did what you're doing, before Epic, get a road bike for 'cross training' to clock up those miles on. Rode the 94.7 and fast one and a few trining rides on it (a total of 5 rides max) and then sold it. MTB was/is my main focus, and I found the 2 close calls with traffic, and the lack of anything interesting, (like a sharp bend, or rocks to negotiate or a bunny hop opportunity or anything that required any skill) were reason enough to can the idea. I reckon you're better off splashing on a set of light race wheels for your mtb, and then a set of slicks to slap on the current wheels should the need to take to the road arise.

There are still a few in a lot of places. On the sides of rand water road round the cemetery, along the R59 after the 35/60km split. A lot are missing the rocks that were holding them down and have blown into the grass. If somebody lends me an MX bike I'd be happy to collect them for you.

It was me. Dammit, how long till this stuff passes thru my system already...

Well, generally speaking, they're ridden by ponces... A vast majority of their fans and owners couldn't tell if the bike they're on IS as awesome as they think it is, or if it had better be considering what they paid. The Cafe Roubaix story. The Epic Wheel Works story. The number of other bullying tactic stories. The stealing Tom Ritcheys design and calling it the Stumpjumper. The fact that only Specialized can service your suspension, in the specified intervals, or else, warranty nonsense. Apples for apples, same exact spec vs same exact spec, the Spez will be more expensive than the other bike, don't care how many you own or how well you're doing. They aren't that much better that they should cost that much more. That said, their marketing dept must be leap years ahead to convince so many fools to part with their money. And no, I'm not jealous coz I don't have/cant afford one. There's an epic sworks in my garage.

Ooooh...

VIPA, all day long. Tho I'd take a Quebeka bike before I ride a Speshilized.

Very sick Babse...!

On another 'feedback' note, when will you guys be collecting all your pointer/marker boards...? They're still all over the place and starting to look a bit like litter. Just saying.

Holy Schmidt you can carry OOOON AND OOOON...! Talk about making something out of nothing. I wonder if my horticultural executive is plotting to kill his Umlungu employer because I refer to him as Madala. You're flogging a dead horse. Nobody really cares about the word but you. Get over it, miserable Caucasian..

Hell if money's no object...

Well duuuh...! Not ALL of us have it tattooed on us to remind us...

I'm from the deep south. If I use my own name on my profile then I can't choon ouens "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM...!?"

Tread is better than the rest, but still far off international mag quality. Pity the euro mags are triple the price.

I'd have the SAKUMA letters written so that if you're sitting on the saddle it will read S A K U M A along the top tube.

The ally Bronson at that.

1stly, yes, I know some small midgets. 2ndly, I dislike the discomfort of even the lightest pack on my back. You back sweats like a sonofabitch and eventually, no matter how often you wash it, the padding absorbs the sweat and always smells manky. Eventually you can't get the smell out of your riding shirts. Stage racing yes, everything else, no thanks.

It feels like constantly piggy backing a midget...

Because nothing says homo, quite like a saddle bag.

Edited, Didn't read properly.

Yeah, that was sarcasm towards him. I agree with your diagnosis 100%. Definitely cleat position.

I saw u lads n waved.

Oh Sworks20, you and your inability to spell the OP's name correctly make those of us with more than a single digit IQ laugh. From your medical expertise it sounds like you and V12 may have studied at different schools together. Or not...
