I like the show.... Maar ja hulle kan verbeter! New bike and gear reviews will be nice.. They must have attetude like those Top Gear guys... (really like that show)

Ride does have an Afrikaans article with every issue, but it would be nicer to have a complete Afrikaans issue. How about Ride doing a poll to see how many Afrikaans readers they got? Ek wens Zuma was afrikaans! Ons kon die hele wereld oor geneem het! Maar n afrikaans fiets tydskrif sal leka wees ja!

The Bicycling mag sucks. If it wasn't for the nice lookin lady on the cover I would not have bought it last month. Ride mag is way better! I like the local stuff more than international news. ...local talent,,,, local races... local storie,, local gear,,, local people... nice to see yourself or your club mates in the mag aswell.....

my advise: Dont go for the schwinn or the Specialized. The top tube slope is not right for triathlon. I was in the some boat about a year ago. You must decide which is more important to you. road cycling events or triathlons. If you answer is road then maybe you have many obtions like the schwinn, specialized... etc If your answer is tri, go for something like a karbona with a road bike setup. removable bars etc. oh, but R13 000 is not enough to go carbon (new bike) sorry..

is there a web site with all the component specs?

ek het ook n BL seeding gekry.. gehoop vir n A maar hulle het nog nie national seedings geupdate nie. Anyway dalk beter so met al daai bulte en wind....

how do you know that?

has anyone here used or seen the new Dura-ACE Di. ? The 'electronic' shifting system... do you thing this is the way forward?

hahaha ja'nee. Okes that work in a bike shop bikes are hot! The lucky bliksem kry altyd nice deals....

Praat julle so baie bollie terwyl julle fietsry ook? Ek gedog ek is ook 'cycling obsessed' omdat ek minder bier drink op n vrydag aand en naweke probeer reel rondom fietsry maar sjoe... julle vat dit ver. Maar ek moet se, dit sal nice wees om met n girl soos nellie te trou dan hoef mens nie elke keer te se hoelank jy op die pad gaan wees nie. en partykeer is dit leka om n uur in n fiets winkel te spandeer.

intern.... what name is specialized? does it mean you were in the 'special' class at school.... dont act like a idiot. both bikes are good looking and that is not the point.

hi.. I would really go with the felt. It looks good and have good components. Warranty, I agree that a bike will show its faults in the first -+3000km. Al 3 brands will replace a cracked frame. Secound choice would be the specialized. I did a test ride with a GT.. I didn't 'felt' it! haha it was not specialized enough! sorry for the pun... The best option would be: Buy a Eddy Merckx LXM frame (R13500) Then go buy a 105 groupset from Solomons +- R3500. Now you just need wheels+ handelbar,stem + seat! Dammit the budget! But if you maybe already have some wheels this could work. Skaap2008-08-31 23:51:19

Safe roads for cycling is still an isue. Just getting out of Gauteng on a bike would be diffecult..

I am also going to Mosselbay this december. I think it is a gr8 idea. What a jurney it would be! I would like to do it in a big group with support vechiles, fellow cyclist and friends etc..

I know of some SA pro's that uses a compact crank. Myself went from a compact to 53. It made me a stronger rider... Basicly because I didn't have lighter gears to choose from. Remember some people prefer a higher avg. cadance on hills. This could help in your choice..

Hello Colinw... What bike did you choose? Ek het so jaar terug vir my n Felt F4 gekoop. Dit was die beste carbon bike met goeie komponente wat ek kon kry met my geldtjies. En Felt is ook nie sommer net n brand nie. Felt is heavy underated en raak nou groot in die wereld. Die garmin span in die Tour de France gebruik die selfde felt frame design as n F5/F4/F3/F1. Net n beter carbon materiaal. So wat se dit? Ek is baie happy met my felt. Ek het onlangs die mavic wiele afgehaal en n paar ordentlike eastons op gesit. Nou lyk ek nie net hot nie ek ry ook hot! Dit is leka op die cervelos en speciliazed fietse weg te ry. Veral nadat n ou vir my gese het as jy n Felt afskeur is dit n raleigh... Ek dink meeste van die groot brands is goed. Gaan maar oor smaak en geld....
