Also wanna hear response! Same sort of dilemma - haha! Wondering if 800 worth the extra money!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Eugene Yes it is Clem the accountant. Very sad!

THIS IS HECTIC! Just around the corner from me. Condolences to the family!

Bwahhahahaha!!

Yeah! But opening up a can of worms - its still better than DuraAce - HAHAHA! Outa here!!

Yes you can! I assume you are referring to 10 speed groupset. As long as you keep 10 speed components together, or 9 speed components together, then all fine. Dont mix 9 and 10 speed components!

Suunto T6D. Only watch I got - hahaha

Front Derailleur, I think, shouldnt be a major problem,I think it should work (not 100% sure) its the rear derailleur thats gonna give the problems

The XO shifter with XTR RD may cause a small problem. If you can live with a chain skipping a gear normally near top gear limit, and sometimes low gear limit then go for it. I cant remember the correct ratio for the groupsets but for sake of explaining the problem Shimano works with 1:1 ratio and SRAM works with 1:2 ratio. So in some gears it will work perfectly but eventually the ratio catches up and the chain will jump a gear. Hope this helps.

Cool! I see you fixed the typo error - LOL In connection with gripshift question- yes - should work fine, however try and keep same make of groupset parts,ie. use Shimano with Shimano, Sram with Sram. The shifting ratio with Sram and Shimano is sightly diffent, so could cause jumping of chain in certain gears.

9 speed shifter can be used with a 10 speed derailleur - no problem. Just adust the limit screws on derailleur accordingly. However what do you mean by "will 9 speed shifter work with a 10 speed shifter"??????? Hmmm, you can only use one at a time - hahhahahaha!!

To scared to answer! Might be banned from The Hub!

I went to Cajees once!! Ahhhh!!! Yes!!!! Once was enough!!!

LOL - my 2c worth!! Its easier to make a small frame bigger, than a bigger frame small!!!

Cant insure for secondhand value, but must insure for replacement value. At a guess(timate) I would reckon about R40k.

Hahaha! Dont blame you!

Looks mighty fine! Might be the angle of pic but that setup looks a little suspicious - Enjoy the ride I can and I will - You could and you should!

May be a real flyer - but are you sure your rear brakes were not overheating and causing there "stopping power" to fail. They might have "cooled" down when you took the bike for the test ride.

Hahaha! - I like the logic.

I think I gotta agree with this comment. Maybe should have stated "Campy waaaaay better than Shimano" - LOL! (opening up a can of worms!) I just did a major upgrade from Shimano Ultegra to Campy Chorus 11 with Super Record Crankset, and I wont go back to Shimano in a very big hurry.

Metholated Spirits works pretty well. The fumes are pretty good tooo - Ooops- apologies this could open up a whole new doping post.

Also use Clean Green but dilute it 1:10 and works great.

For safety reasons. When on the tri-bars you do not have as much control, especially braking in emergency, which makes it pretty dangerous riding in a bunch. Hence no drafting allowed in TT or Ironman and Triathlon events.

I would say more like venting some anger and merely a personal observation - LOL! "Hope you have a nice day" - Whats scathing about that? - hahahaha
