Abroad

Poll won't be accurate as Cycle Lab has a couple of shops so will get more votes by nature of having more feet and greater awareness.

Cycle Factory Store by a landslide. Epic only helps if you're part of the clan. Cycle Lab will help you (into the ground) if you're interested in whatever is on the floor. Bridge can be hit and miss Bowmans seems clueless depending on who you talk to Williams you have to wait forever to get help WE was okay BMC is cool CWC is cool as well, but the one guy there gives me the creeps and a couple of people I know have been talked into the wrong size bikes there. But the ONLY shop who phones back without fail, has the best on the floor prices, who's workshop is on the ball, give good advice, etc etc is Cycle Factory Store.

Ek is gisteraand saam met die kraai Eden toe om "vinnige" set up te doen en toets lap of twee te doen. Idee was om die bike set up te kry vir ons ride Saterdag wanneer ek "officially" te bike demo. Ek weet minder as wat ek gedink het van bikes en set up! Crow het 'n kort (dink dit was minder as 5km) lap gehad wat ons sou gebruik om die suspension op te stel. Wil nou nie te lank uitbrei oor dit nie, maar ek het gisteraand baie geleer oor hoe om 'n bike gedial te kry. Moet se ek is nie technical minded genoeg nie en het ook nie die geduld nie, maar in die toekoms sal ek defnitief meer tyd spandeer aand set up. My lyf en suspension. Anyway. Het tyd gevat om die bike net reg te kry en ek moet se die bike het my verbaas. My huidige bike is 'n 2008 Stumpjumper. Ek kon Crow kry om op te hou verwys na my bike as 'n Junkjumper! Die Chumba klim en track baie beter as die Stumpy en toe ons eers ?n 100mm stem gefit het was die set up ook presies wat ek wil he. Die bike ry nie so hard soos die SJ nie, maar klim beter. Dink dit het baie te doen met set up en suspension design. Anyway, demo officially Sat die bike dan sal ek meer te se het. Ek het gedink gisteraand sou vinnig wees en dalk ?n mors van tyd, maar dit was defnitief die moeite werd. Ekt egter geweet dit is tyd om op te pak en huis toe gaan to Crow se laaste lap (in die donker met net ligte) 35s vinniger was as enige van ons voriges. Mal mense!

Where's the bright blue with red option?

By now the vote should tell you something.

Saw you coming down dead man's drop yesterday. Wow! Can't remember ever seeing anyone coming down there and I could never have imagined anybody doing it so fast and smooth. Maybe time to trade my XC softy for something squishier.

Another vote for Cycle Factory. I do pop into other shops to look at bikes and acc and to talk bike to whoever is standing around, but I do my shopping at CFS. Best prices and my bike always comes back clean and on time.

I'm struggling to see how your Right, Crow, riddle us this... On the drive in question, did you, as the operator of the motor vehicle obey each and every road law? Speed limits? Complete stops at stop signs? Stop behind the designated line at traffic lights and such? Kid in question wearing a safety belt? You wearing a safety belt? equals Oh, it's easier if you look at it this way: be the change you want to see in the world. (Mahatma 'supercallousedfragilemysticplaguedwithhalitosis' Gandhi.) Maybe some coffee went into your brain? ?Hey Bob the women giving you a hard time today....... I assume its a woman Bob (A broad) You said it. Actually, doesn't matter if it's a woman or a man, they all give me a hard time. I put it down to jealousy... They all want me, they can't have me, so they get all snippy... Maybe best for you to quit now while you're behind

A quick search of TNT's other posts makes for an interesting read. Does The Hub give a platform to voice some anger issues? Does you parents know you're drinking coffee? Obvious rant off.

I have to agree that Supercycling is sub-std with the Epic coverage even worse. Not ALL SA shows are that crappy anymore and that excuse's time has come and gone. No reason for SA tv to be lacking that much.

Do you have FF, RR and NN UST stock yet?

Sheesh, you okes. The guy posts a pic of (presumably) his bike and all you can do is mock it. Let's see some pics of your rides. It's a good looking bike Mercx. Wish I could afford a ride like that. I would fit one of these, and off I go! http://www.wiggle.co.uk/images/pro-stealth-evo-carbon-white-med.jpgAbroad2008-06-28 05:22:44

What an awe-inspiring machine. WOW.
