SL7

Ride a sub 3 Argus

I thought Cav would've won more stages by now. Team not so strong I reckon, and its making Cav do silly things. What about the rant of a rubbish bike?

Tyre liners?

Andre, try this website: http://thetristore.com/brand/Specialized/

Hello Cat, My penny's worth: Go DS - easier on the back. Leave the cleats for now. Go with Specialized bikes - as you don't have to pedal uphill they are so awesome they fly! Buy a black bike, matt finish. Go new, nothing like a new bike. Good luck with the purchase.

The SL4,

It's not about the bike or is it about the bike? Check out the attached tables, I would say it is about the bike - the SL4!!!

What about a fold-up bicycle? Don't have one? hacksaw and a couple of hinges!

Mad Dog - I'm speechless! Very happy for you.

Hope it's recovered. Good luck to your buddy.

Stolen, so it's even hotter!

This is a Theo Bos character in the making. What goes around comes around.

That bit of road is an access (escape) road from Pinelands - can't blame the cyclists for acting a bit crazy - could have been a few oldies forgetting where they are or a newly married couple punch drunk in love. Also it's a public holiday - what are you driving for? Use your bike!

How about this stem that Cav is using? http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/news/2011/03/18/1300485048990-1ngj6f7pbr0mq-670-75.jpg http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/news/2011/03/18/1300484889320-x00tcumigt5y-670-75.jpg

Looks like a Mercedes. Scott&Mercedes and in the other corner we have Specialized Venge&McLaren!

There will always be someone who thinks your price is too high, even if it's free! If you're happy with your price, defend and stick with it. For example you could say a full XT groupset sells for XX, ZTR wheels for YY, blah blah blah - voila - bargain people!

Here's mine, Blackie1, Blackie2, Thanks Quickdraw for the mtb frame. Got a bunch of medals, would really appreciate an idea from the Hubbers as to what to do with them or make something with them.

OC is okay, I deal with Greg and Jason. Jason loaned me a 120mm stem, fitted it, had it for a week, and I returned it at no cost. Their prices are a bit steep, but their range is awesome, and on the big items you can always negotiate. I always get a 10% discount at the till (it's given without asking) even on small items like tires, bombs etc.

Agree with Popeye - the tickets are traceable. Don't think the rumour is true.

Maybe he's a sponsor - that comes with certain priviledges

All the best Mark, wish you a speedy recovery

That downtube looks oval, plus the cutaway in the seattube would make this the aero frame. I love matt black finishes

For 7k try Cycletraders in Woodstock - Avron might take your old bike as a trade.

What to do - we are so vulnerable on our bikes - at my wits end. Also had a couple of close calls on the Cape Flats.
