First up is my pride & joy - 2019 Giant Anthem Adv Pro 1 with a few upgrades. Secondly is my Scott Scale 920 (MY 2015) which I've converted into a sort-of-gravel-bike thing. I would still love to own a proper gravel bike with the correct gearing etc.

Where did you buy your shirts Jakkals?

Hi, do you need that setback post? Could extend your stem by 10/20mm and buy a normal Lyne dropper. I used 1 for over a year without a single problem.

Thanks Rouxenator Yes, they're finishing the bridge as we speak. I saw it on their FB page

Thanks Rouxenator. I take it you've done the 60? Anything specific we need to worry about? How accurate is the total ascent? I've done a 50km race at Bottelary and it was great (long ago though)

I have too- thus far my favourite. After testing numerous other saddles

That is some transformation! Congrats

From a fellow Hubber in Cape Town. His ads are listed - search for carbon rigid. Link below https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/289555-carbon-29er-rigid-fork-9mm-qr-ud-matt/

I've been following this thread for quite some time now Finally bought myself a 29er carbon hardtail once more. Never used my road bike and thought this would make more sense as a type of gravel/road/commute bike Considering how relatively cheap it has been- i'm stoked with the outcome. Still a work in progress...

Thanks Bira. Check out the link https://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/anthem-advanced-pro-29-1-2019

Picked this up recently - still need to sort out my fitment. I think its one of the prettiest bikes Giant have designed recently (IMO) Ya I know it might have too much gold #sorrynotsorry

I can finally post something on this thread

I bought this a few weeks ago. Yes I might have gone overboard with the red

Check out Vye Cyling Kit too- Cape Town company, hands down the best chamois i've used. http://vyecyclekit.co.za/

Here is my beautiful steed

I've have exactly the same problem. My however occurred while finishing the 100-miler in Malmesbury. I am still not 100% fine but I am slowly getting there. You should visit a physio or biokinetisist. Also check your cleat setup. This made a major difference in my comfort levels.

Specialized, Cannodale, Scott and Giant

Thanks very much man!

Do you have lionel's number?

Apparently out of stock?

Hi Hubbers Anyone know where I can find a 90mm Opi stem for my bike It comes out with a 110mm stem and I need the shortest one. Any help would be awesome Thanks

This might be a stupid question, but those white Stans on the Storm 1 are real,not fake rims? The font looks funny? Same with the tyres, its not Maxxis Lust USt, just normal, heavy cheap Maxxis 29er tyres

HAs anyone bought the new Storm 1.0 yet? Amazing value, good looking Large weighs 10.8 with shimano 520 and heavy maxxis tyres Carbon SLK handlebar, stem and FSA seatpost Full XT 20 speed and even XT brakes Combine that with a SID and good looks I think it is unbeatable- R21 000??? http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011_website_SILVERBACK/storm1.htm
