  1. Hi guys, I need to give a thumbs up for Julian and the guys at omnico (obike). I was in the market for a mtb for quite a while and I finally got my bike, and brand new that is. I saw the winter sale ad on dual sus bikes and registrered on the site. When I had to choose a dealer my Lbs was not listed, so I phoned and spoke to Julian. Very nice guy I might ad. So a minute or two later I ordered a medium 2006 gt 4 3.0. The next day the bike arrived. On the box it said medium, but when we saw the frame it was a large. We phoned Julian again and he said it was no problem, he will send me a medium. Apparently all mediums were sold, so he sent me a 2009 marathon elite frame. The frame arived the next day. I was quite impressed with the service, seeing that I am stationed in Upington. My dealer stated that the after sales service of Omnico is excelent and that he can recomend doing business with these guys. So now this roadie is looking to do his first mtb race in the wc in some time. Can't wait to start training. Cheers Joe
  2. Sorry for your loss man. Bought a gt from obike a week ago. Can't wait to get the bike. Will make extra sure in futyre my bikes are secured better. What happened, a strap broke or came lose??
  3. You guys miss the point. Everything in life is a competition. If I ask you what your bike weighs, and if it is heavier than mine, I win and will not buy a lighter component. If however the oposite happens, well, I am out of some money. Why do you guys think so much stuff run through the for sale thread?? My bike weighs 7.815 kg's by the way(weigh). Can anyone beat that? How much does yours weigh??
  4. I need to see this pic. Whre can I find it??
  5. Hi there fellow cyclists, I am new and don't know if this has been asked before. If so, let me know. Here goes: In the latest ride magazine there is an article on carbohydrate drinks with some proteien mix. Apparently the proteien in your drink will help with recovery. So, do any of you guys have a special drink you make for long rides and what are they? What carbohydrate drink do you find works best for you? Cheers Joe
  6. Hi there, what carbohydrate drink during training and races do you guys prefer?
