cool, love the raw look

How do you know someone rides a SS? They tell you

Drive a 4x4 myself, and really, really getting gatvol of the 4x4 community in general, not just that forum. Been to loads of 4x4 tracks etc. It's a massive generalisation but most of the 4x4 "okes" are really idiots. It's all about myself, myself, myself, ooh look at me in my 4x4, look what it can climb, I am such a awesome outdoor person, but then they cannot even run 100m without getting a heart attack or is so massively over kitted one would think they are doing a 10year long trip into deepest darkest africa.

Who is getting wet on their ride this afternoon? Coming down in buckets here in Midrand.

Easiest, and prob cheapest would be to order a On-One pompino CX frame from on-one.co.uk

cyclocross

Looking out of my office window I see nothing but blue sky Looks ALOT better than last month

Be early and have a beer at Kitcheners

http://www.levi.co.za/commuter/ Anyone tried any of it yet? Thinking the pants can work well for friday office wear off the commute

Tweet Zilla the story, seems to work well

Bought a R3500 Fuji Feather a while ago...most fun bike I have ridden in a while and I have a couple of other high spec bikes.

The ability to stop is over rated

In case of rain on friday : Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period. Fair-weather riding is a luxury reserved for Sunday afternoons and wide boulevards. Those who ride in foul weather – be it cold, wet, or inordinately hot – are members of a special club of riders who, on the morning of a big ride, pull back the curtain to check the weather and, upon seeing rain falling from the skies, allow a wry smile to spread across their face. This is a rider who loves the work. http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/

Yeah caught = stopped commute on a fixie

Got caught by every bloody red light this morning...

I use a North Face laptop bag, fits shoes, pants, shirt, chain, 4 tubes, 4 bombs, wrench for bolts to get wheel of fixie, multi tool, 15" macbook, and other odds and ends at times, seems to work quite well.

Saw my wife pass me yesterday on the way back home, was fun chasing her car after every stop street

In the spirit of this thread over on mtbr.com http://forums.mtbr.com/commuting/how-your-commute-today-569221.html just with a SA flavour, how was your commute today? Mine was relatively boring, "played" no-dab, as in try and not touch the ground with my shoe all the way to work.

Bargain of note!

That's quite severe for incorrect bike setup, just how bad was the setup?

yeah flipped the drops and cut them. Needs to be angled slightly more upwards thought. And put on some decent tyres.

It's a pretty short commute, 10km one way. Just do it, it was a blast

Took the fixie, and it was a blast. Going to try and commute as often as possible. Locked in the basement parking lot in the motorbike lot. http://i.imgur.com/3qABc.jpg
