    That Sesta is great value. Full carbon with race ready spec for R60k. Sadly unheard of.
  2. NicoBoshoff
    None of this changes the fact that I want a Jeffsy. NOW!
  3. NicoBoshoff
    Whatever, you're being stubborn and splitting hairs. No one is saying it's exactly like the Stumpy. But it looks a ton like it. Even my wife, when I showed her the Jeffsy said it looked just like mine.
  4. NicoBoshoff
    Yeah, they really did, all the way from 2013: Still, I want a Jeffsy. Real bad. Oh, and it's bullcrap that niners have only recently broken through as contenders in the aggresive trail market. The 2013-2014 Evo Stumpies filled Spaz's trophy cabinet with awards for bike of the year etc. People have just been less full of sh*t of late.

    The Jeffsy is giving me a Jimmy

    I blame Josh Bryceland.

    And it's getting cheaper as the day progresses...

    Racing is still the most fun you can have with your clothes on. It's a huge group ride with some bragging rights thrown in. And Meurant usually opens some otherwise closed trails for his races.

    Yeah look, organisers need to eat and pay the bills and everything got more expensive for them as well, so I certainly don't begrudge them their increase. I just literally can't afford to do all 5 Dirtopia races and then the 4 or 5 WPGE races in a year. That's basically R3k to race, which I now realise doesn't even get you into a stage race, so I suppose still bang for buck. However, good value doesn't always mean affordable. I'll probably only be doing the Welvanpas enduro this year. It's too good to not to.

    What's a hondo? A R100? 11000 x 100 =?
  12. NicoBoshoff
    You sure about that?
  13. NicoBoshoff
    Well to be fair, I suspect he means, it's a pity there's no mention of the other trails at Van Gaalens. I do sometimes wonder why the trail details aren't put up. Distance, gradients etc. like they do on PB. Would be a nice addition.
  14. NicoBoshoff
    Sorry that was a bit snide...
  15. NicoBoshoff
    Ja, this is where you conflate me expressing my disdain at the modern state of marketing lead manufacturing, and me telling anyone what to do with their money. I only did one of those. Want to guess which one?
  16. NicoBoshoff
    Ok. Enjoy the KoolAid guys. Hope it fills that void.
  17. NicoBoshoff
    My question is this: Will Shimano react and also go that route, after doing so much for riders with the M8000 11speed series? Or will they do what any sane industry would do and invest in creating an economy of scale, allowing a trickle down to SLX level 11 speed drivetrains?
  18. NicoBoshoff
    Hey mountainbike industry...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale Get f*cked.
  19. NicoBoshoff
    What time of day was that? G-Dammit I have to get back there! In the dry. With more bike.
  20. NicoBoshoff
    There, fixed it.
  21. NicoBoshoff
    The Tour de France of mountain biking...
  22. NicoBoshoff
    Perfect to wear with your TapOut shirt, and tribal tattoos.
  23. NicoBoshoff
    Having said that, people must do what they want. Never let it be said I stood between a fool and a bad decision. I, however, reserve the right to point and laugh at you as you "cruise" past me on your way up that "brute of a climb". And please don't compare this to uplifts. It's not. No one pretends that they actually cycled up to the trailhead on a shuttle day.
  24. NicoBoshoff
    Hydraulic brakes, electonic shifting, bikelights don't change the fundamental nature of a bicycle - something that relies solely on human input to power it forward. This isn't a bicycle. It's a shitty electric motorbike.
  25. NicoBoshoff
    I'd like I'd like to see the equation of how far you'd have to drive to recoup the cost of such a bike.
