Haha, yes, this, exactly!👌

Irrespective of original price, for what you are getting there, that is not good value for money. Far better demo/used bikes for R40k. I’ve seen better for R20-25k… I am aware things are a bit crazy expensive in todays market due to stock shortages, demand > supply etc etc, but if someone told you a 10 speed aluminium bike was 55k you’d go along with that? for reference, cannondale website: https://www.cannondale.com/en-za/bikes/road/gravel/topstone-alloy/topstone-2

So, this morning I was in a well known bike shop in CPT grabbing some bar tape, and up for sale they had a Demo Cannondale Topstone 2. So: Aluminium bike, 10 speed GRX (but with an FSA crank), and Demo model so lightly used. R40,000. HOW EVEN. The poor sales guy thought I was interested. He did try tell me that it retailed at “R55k new” and was “reserved for a customer”. Shame. Hope he is just making that up or someone’s getting properly shafted 😂

I think Rossouw Bekker (also from Valley Electrical Titan Racing) also hooked a spot for Gravel Worlds at the same race

Are we calling that ‘Giant’ that you ride a ‘road’ bike now? 👀

But yeah, Thanks for this Toby, really great initiative. I’ve donated and shared with some of my cycling groups too, so hopefully donations can start picking up!

Seems reasonable. I’m sure a lot of riders are also ok with riding down the nek (as most of the time we are at the very least as fast as cars so can take the lane), so would venture a guess that there is likely to be more traffic up the trail than down it. My concern is definitely biased towards riding up the nek 👌

Shameless punt for the SlothPops, I like it 👌

Yes, thank you! 😁🙌

Hi All, I’ve been hunting for a Shimano GRX RD RX810 but haven’t been able to locate one in SA currently 😭. If anyone knows of a bike shop that has stock, pls let me know?Would be much appreciated!

Just check this first - as far as I can see on Garmins website the “slate grey with black band” is a Fenix 7 solar (not sapphire) - and then the price of R15,499 is in line with what Garmins website indicates for the solar model. Might be a typo?

I’m assuming still closed? ????
