OH crap !!! I was really getting hopeful ! How badly bent is it ?? - if it's US then maybe turf it my way and I can hang it up in my braai room as a momento ????

I rode an identical Tommassini - same colours - for 13 years in JHB - but it was full on geared Now I see this and I would love to have my old bike back which would be an impossible find So if you ever want to sell yours give me a PM !

Surely the angle of wrap decreases with an increase in diameter of the chain ring = less wrap > what am I missing here as the cogs remained 16t in both cases ? The logic in the above post doesn't work (49 gives better wrap than 48 ? due to diameter increase angle of wrap must decrease)

Me too !!

Hope the V.I.P. entry isn't a Nigerian scam - done mine paid the fees and got the confirmation !

Thanx for this - did you get it thru Amazon ?

Anyone know where I can get the TRX system from ?

There is a young lady I see most days - even in the worst of weather - rain , wind & cold - comming in from Table View on the cycling path - me I don't leave home on my bike if it is already raining so it makes me feel k%k guilty when I see her batling thru really bad weather - kudus to you fair maiden - stay safe !

I'm lucky >> I park my bike in my office - not so lucky with no shower facility at work - do the basin routine !

I agree >> like how many punctures with the MTB compared to the road bike ???

My old Stump Jumper is now my commuter bike with knoblies etal ! Why ??? because they are tubeless and I don't care much for flat tires on my commute each day Ratio of my punctures to bikes equiped with road tires >>> 0 to uuummm I for got there were so many ! And yes I do have a road bike as well as newer off road bikes all for racing where they are supposed to !

I agree - and before we critise - can any of the complainees do any better or even half as good ? There is no one else who could do better IMHO

First photo looks like Kitzbuhl ???

Isn't this half the price per kilometer than the Argus ?

Must have been recycled beer ???

The rest of the Tour as official RRRSSSA holiday !

I made a wall mounted Caddy attachment and then just plugged the caddy into it when I needed it - worked OK

What is that famous Afrikaans saying ? >>> goed koop is duur koop >>> or there abouts

Ever thought about how the rims wear down with continuos usage of the brakes ? how many of you guys have ever thought about the reduction in thickness of the rim you are clamping you brake pads to ?

I had an oportunity to visit the Specialized factory/warehouse in Salt Lake City last October - the mid to top range road bikes were all fitted with disks and they were supposed to do a launch this year ? Saw their R&D single speeds , MTBs and snow riding MTBs - the line up was absolutely mind blowing !

I'm 61 this year and just love my Specialised Epic - used her on 2 Sani2c's and enjoy the stretched out forgiving ride My other ride is a KTM 26er which is really good at tight twisty type trails For my money I would go with the Epic

Yip got mine via e-mail !

In France it is 1m - if a cyclist is knocked down the driver of the vehicle is automattically to blame and has to prove his innocense And it works beleive me I have ridden in France
