  1. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/238405/2015-swiss-wheeler-full-carbon-29er Here's the spec if you'd consider restoring it.
  2. Here's some origin stuff. One of my absolute favourites. He's come through huge adversity after suffering two strokes. Have a read of his Wiki page it's inspiring stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwyn_Collins#Orange_Juice
  3. The MyCiti network in Cape Town was designed within the five minute walk to station criterion.
  4. +1 on oat milk. I also don't use milk in coffee but echo the sentiment about cereal.
  5. That. Is. Great. The Tele sound is gorgeous. She sings quite well too...
  6. This popped up in my suggestions today. The Specials and the Winehouse versions are superb. But this the original, for me, is the best. I was at school in Jamaica for a year and a bit in the mid-seventies and my older sister used to buy a load of random records every week. This was one of my absolute favourites.
  7. Sorry, didn't realise they were that bad. A friend of a friend used them a while ago and didn't have any complaints, maybe he was lucky.
  8. https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/26er-mtb-tyres to answer your online question. Although they are in Cape Town.
  9. Seems like a fair swap...
  10. You're right, it is and it is.
  11. This must have been posted before, but I just heard it on Lauren Laverne's BBC6 Music show and it brought back a load of memories. My mate was a big fan (me not so much) and insisted I go with him to see them at Portsmouth Guildhall. It was February 1982 their support act was Blancmange and Depeche Mode were excellent. Even though Vince Clarke had left by then.
  12. Nice explainer from Alex Petridis in The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/dec/07/bob-dylan-rights-sale-part-freewheelin-approach-business
  13. Tombstone teeth and an alcohol level that'll blow a breathalyser to bits. But a fine rendition.
  14. I think it's because they're the short version.
  15. You've seen The Departed I presume. I'm Shipping up to Boston. Quite evocative.
  16. Have a look here: https://www.servicearchive.sram.com/sites/default/files/techdocs/sram_spc_-_revg_-_noembargo.pdf I think this is the part number: 11.5018.003.017. It may help to see the assembly.
  17. https://www.amazon.com/South-Africas-Border-War-1966-89/dp/1912866102 Any of these?
  18. Oh yes, she is a charlatan of the highest order.
  19. The infamous fake doctor Gillian McKeith whose qualification was also obtained by Ben Goldacre for his dead cat.
  20. From a friend of a friend of a friend's FB group in Jockland.
  21. Ahem, you do realise you're on a cycling forum... Socks etc.
  22. Good luck, you'll be surprised at the speed with which you'll become extremely mobile. But do be careful.
  23. The operation was on 25 March 2015 and I was up and walking with a frame on the morning of 28 March 2015. I followed the doc's and physio's instructions as regards daily exercise routines and used my IDT to get back into the muscle movement routines of cycling. My hip damage was gradual, a motorbike accident (probably) a long time ago had damaged the articular cartilage which had worn over time and was causing a great deal of pain and lack of lateral articulation. My first commute was on 30 June 2015 (22km each way). But I had been riding regularly from the end of April. Unfortunately before the COVID stuff happened I wasn't riding as much as I wanted to due to work stuff, but still managing at least 100km per week usually on one or two rides. I still ride up to this day and there's been no pain, I'm just careful in certain turns. Here's my reaction to the first commute after the op. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/107303-things-ive-learnt-from-commuting/page-107
  24. Good luck with the recovery. It's a lot quicker than you realise. I've had a fake hip for five and a half years. It's still fine. But, I stopped MTB once I was back on the bike. Just in case.
