Bitching yes i am. Please look at the link in my post this is the price they quote in pounds not a price i have taken out of thin air.Sorry for you that you are paying those prices in EURO'S

I have just been pricing the new Giant TCR Team from this site: http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=17242&catID=47 which is going for 4,037.00 GBP at the current exchange rate equates to 60,376.32 ZAR. This does not include shipping or Tax(you may not have to pay the tax on the U.K price as it is an export) It does not come with pedal so there should be no import duties. I have heard that the South African RRP is just a little over 95K Can anyone shed some light on why we pay such prices for bikes in S.A? ?? Deep Section2009-01-12 08:37:12

SCHWINN is distributed by omnico not probike (Pro-ripoff) www.omnico.co.za

Thats Olympic cycles in Claremont.

I hate to promote them! When i used Olympic some years back they hired out bikes at a high price.Not that i ever inquired or used the service but maybe it's worth a try.

I am sorry to hear you are with out a bike and getting no where with this problem. I think your local bike shop should put pressure on Specialized to sort this out for you. Which shop are you dealing with? By the looks of it you spent some serious cash at this shop at least they should sort you out with something in the interim "A happy customer will all ways return". I am amazed that a lot of bike shops still don't understand or implement this basic policy

They only plan to finish 2010

cool. I will be waiting.........

yip, will second that respect

Awesome vid I see a lot of it was shot at Tokai

Hey Hendrik s Where exactly is "meurants single track" As i am very keep to ride some new track

? AKA purple headed yoghurt slinger. Just remember you can be arrested for allowing that snake to run loose in public

Please take this as a warning! Last night when returning from our ride in Tokai forest to the arboretum, only to find that my mate's car had been stolen and the buggers tried to get there hands on both of my bicycle roof rack holders. We left for our ride at 6pm and returned just after 8pm,there were no other cars besides mine in the parking lot upon our return. A couple of weeks ago 3 of my girlfriends work colleagues had there cars broken into near to where the market is held on a Saturday morning.This post is just a heads up that this area seems to be a bit of a target.

I saw the same squashed puff adder last night. It looked like a Juvenile (even though it was very dead it still sent a shiver down my spine)

Indeed yes. Thats me leaving after a session of the mercy less hands of Jodie Louw and you are?

white top,black bibs,white helmet,Giant black and pink. And i got blown out the back in the sprint finish!

I am In.will be there in full support

I have been using a Blue Seventy suit for the last two years. Did a lot of shopping around at the time and basically I could not find much difference with the two suits.I have never swum in a Orca suit but my Blue Seventy is the "nuts" it really makes swimming a breeze.I came out of the water in 29th place at Iron Man 2007.
