SL7

This is an interesting thread - new topic to me. Surely you'd go with the ratio that yo ucan just about make up on Suikerbossie (I think that is the steepest part of the Argus). Anyway, keem to hear what you decide after reccieing the route.

RIP

Cool bikes, safe riding bru.

The weather in 2008 was perfect - no wind, slightly cloudly, and NO WIND. Did a 5:19 on three weeks training. I'm feeling fairly fit and know that I can/should ride a good Argus this year. I'm looking at staying with the front of D - doing my share of the work I'll be on a black Spez SL2 and in a Cape Town Giants jersey. For me it's important to ride the hardest race I can - time is irrrelevant - if I can get a sub 1000 position, that'll make my day.

Nice! Hope you have 1000's of sweet km's

Let the buyer beware! My bru who is in CT bought a bike from Potch - he sent his buddy from Jhb to check out the bike and take posession when the money was EFT'd. ED, I feel your pain - 7k is alot to be screwed over. Damn!

Nice - would love to see it in person - is it any lighter AB?

sole repair from Sportsman warehouse - dries overnight and very durable.

Red and black colour combo - nice! Wish you many happy k's on it.

Interesting - lots of beef and chicken - no lamb or pork on that day

You doing the Argus HahaK? Would love to see this bike!

Now thats a ride you wannabe on in Cat 3! Flippin nice!

Another interesting fact is that if there are 20 cyclists following the lead cyclist - he will expend the least amount of energy

Shocking! But I'm sure they've learnt. I'm also sure though that there are competent event organisers that would have done a better job, maybe budgets were tight?

Brake failure at the finish? Brain failure? - it sucks when you get robbed of that 1st finish in your group.

SA style!

Dude the wife is here! Enough said.

So glad he's back - the TdF will be more entertaining

That's harsh - so close and yet can't do anything!

I never knew you, but as a cyclist I know one of the things you loved - RIP.

Sounds okay, depends on condition and mileage.

6.8kg is the standard - if it wasn't there something else would be.

Besides few Muslim guys there's also few Black guys on MTB's. Perhaps I need to write a letter to the MJC to raise this under-representation in this sport.

Agree - if the price is right though, I'll buy your XX groupset with zero mileage for R4k.

What the hell! - rustig Hermanus of all places!
