  1. Happy Birthday Mr. Armstrong! When this matter is over and the dust settles, please stick around. The hub will be a much better place if we have more people like yourself on here!
  2. True. Plus, for all we know, they could have built a fire pool with the profit from all their sales
  3. Agree. I trust my LBS as well. I am rather referring to new customers who do not have a personal relationship with the bike shop. They may not trust the bike shop after reading a thread like this (if they are in the market for a frame that is easily copied). Edit: Spelling
  4. The repercussions of Cycle Science's actions is that bike shops doing honest business will start to be questioned as well. I would not be happy if I was a honest bike shop. Edit: Spelling
  5. I think 'Cycle Hub' is supposed to be us - thehubsa? CRC = Chain Reaction Cycles?
  6. Please share the link so that I can share it with my friends on Facebook, who in turn will share it with their friends on Facebook - a la Cafe Roubaix. Thank you very much
  7. A family member once receive a couple of threatening legal letters from a 'cheap' attorney. We then enlisted the services of a highly-rated attorney from a large law firm. It cost an arm and a leg, but only one legal letter from our attorney was required to settle the whole matter in our favour!
  8. Odd that they would specify the VAT amount as the invoice is not SARS compliant. That is not needed then. Also, no company registration details...
  9. Agree. Similar to the Red Bull era. Mercedes (just like the Red Bull in the prior years) have a clear advantage. Once out front with a comfortable margin the race basically stops (for the front runners - real action at the back of the field) and we have fuel saving, tyre management, turning engine 'down', etc. Boring! I want to see them racing each other until the end, not 'managing' the race. (Hamilton today was just like Vettel last year!) Hopefully Red Bull (read Renault) can catch up (and Mclaren and Ferrari, but I think Red Bull have a better chance) and we see some racing! Hamilton vs Vettel wheel to wheel is what I want to see.
  10. 1998 also rained - I was in F that year and was completely soaked by the time we got to Simon's Town. Edit: Spelling

    What time you aiming for?
  12. That would be pretty useful to the beginner cyclist.
  13. Also got an invite, strongly thinking about doing a second round just for fun

    You see, it is with guys like these that the 1 minute gap from 'A' to 'B' might be insurmountable as otherwise suggested...
  15. Ice cold coke, or just water (1st prize = chocolate steri stumpie!)

    +1 PS: If you sponsor the Venge and entry fee for the Epic, I'll give it a try.
  17. There is always the possibility that the criminals could swop out the group sets and wheels on the bikes they have stolen. This would prevent a stolen bike from being easily recognised.

  19. Nope, you are not alone, I also didn't get it.

    I was also wondering that. First one across the line claims all the categories?

    Not quite so. I have an index of 9.27 and I am seeded in A (maybe I made it by a hair).
