You're totally off the mark. Most online SA shops aren't big enough to qualify for shipping rates as low as R30 via courier. A standard courier deal for most online sites which would allow you to cover nationwide, would be almost R100 per item with some quotes being even higher than that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx2e9jSSK6E Very funny YouTube video. If you haven't watched it yet, go ahead. it'll give you a laugh.

No it can't. The Edge 200 doesn't have a maps function.

Quintana coming off the bus. These guys look a lot bigger on TV than they are in real life. Most of the bikes were set up with a single 54 or 55 tooth big ring, for the TT. You could get up real close to the spare bikes on top of the team cars and see what the gear was. I missed the Dan Martin / Garmin Sharp crash by about 200m from where I had gone to watch them race. It was also interesting to see the individual team set up in the riders camp. I would have to say that Sky, Trek, BMC & Movistar gave the overall impression of being the most organized. Most of the riders didn't arrive until about 30 - 40 minutes before they were due to start and for some reason, a lot of them, ( even from different teams) all warmed up with their noses stuffed with cotton wool. I don't know what the reason was. Vicks nasal spray was also in use. It was nice to see it in the flesh though and the atmosphere was great. The pre-race supporters village was a bit disappointing. CRC had a minimalist stand, a supplier of Fondriest & Basso bikes were there but apart from a couple of others that was about it. A cycling Giro shirt commemorating the start was GBP60 (about a R1000).

A few photo's from the opening TTT

But on the bright side, I'm heading over to Northern Ireland this Friday and will be there for the start and the first days TT. And on an even brighter note, the TT goes past my Gran's house twice, so it's tea and biccies at the roadside for me then.... Is there a Hub flag I can get to wave?

I'm always afraid of viruses etc when using these type of sites. I do run Kaspersky though. Do any of you get any hassle in that regard?

Aaaah, according to that article he must have been using the special 'energy gels', (nudge, nuge, wink, wink)

If I were you I'd wait until I could upgrade the whole bike to buy a decent 2nd hand bike with better components and wheels. If you take R1600 + R6500 for a groupset = R8100, plus what you get for your own bike when you sell it. That would make for a very decent bike.

Hi Guys (& Gals), I'm hoping someone can help. I could try and sell the above bike and get a few hundred bucks, but I'd rather help someone out who's less fortunate than many of us. Do you know of anyone who may require a bike as a means of transport to maybe get them to work etc. I'll give them the bike. It's a 54cm C to C top tube, a heavy old thing but it's solid and will last for years. It's all working 100% but I will stick a couple of funky new tyres on it so it keeps on rolling. It is currently in Blouberg, so somewhere in the near Western Cape please as it's waaaay to heavy to post. (and please, no chancers, I'd like to help someone) Thanks in advance.

Just don't send him to CS, bwahahaha

I wonder how many customers they have actually ripped off over the past years. I hope they don't get to rip any more off.

And when Andrew said 'if I knew it was a fake, why did I buy another one in australia', they just went uuuuuuuuh

Devi brought Andrew into the shop and they still tried to say he knew he was buying a fake

dodgy as hell. they knew exactly what they were doing

3 fakes sold by CS so far

and here we go

They're drawing this out but just saw Devi in CS. Gonna be fun

haha, Devi just commented on 'buying your dream bike and finding out it's a cheap China knock-off' Report coming up after the break

Maybe that's why he can afford to have 2 Dogma's. (Well sort of......)

Yes you can get Chinese marble, the only problem is the tint, it's a funny sort of 'grey' colour

Drat, looking for a starter bike for my wife but she needs a 54cm top tube length. Thanks for getting back to me.

What size is it? Centre seat post to centre stem? I'm looking for a 54cm. Thx

You shouldn't make the serial number public. Just say the serial number is known. I would edit the ad.

Podio Importers Post from the Hub 2012 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/46935-retro-bicycle-thread/page__st__1712 Looks like they've been using it for a while and it does seem to tie the invoice in to the shop
