  1. and then maybe we can soon get some heated handle bar grips with a solar panel on the stem to warm our hands in winter with our double padded fleece gloves and cashmere under garments!!
  2. can you camp? sweet!! thanks
  3. This is a serious shot in the dark but anyone have a spare R6800.00 lying around to give me so me and my team mate can race the Lord of the Chain rings? Possible Top 5 finish, maybe podium?
  4. in terms of taper in the last 2 weeks I keep the frequency of training consistent with what I would have been doing leading up to the race just halve each ride by 50% and keep it at 60% effort, works nicely for me
  5. Granted but the wronged party will have to provide adequate proof in a court of law that the bicycle was in fact his, without a serial number the "Hey, that is mine" won't stand to cause the transaction to be null and void. It SUCKS but as the cliche goes, 'it's not what you know, but what you can prove in a court of law" Which is where this would have to end up if Silverback RU wants any compensation.
  6. just off the top of my head there are two charges he could lay: 1. Defamation of Character via libel means - granted it is difficult to prove in court but the legal fee's alone will suck! 2. Intellectual Property Law - there is a loop hole in this law and really good lawyer could build a solid case around it because a photo has been posted and the gentleman's face is clearly visible, someone could recognise him and harass him in public which will give him more weight behind his case. as I said this is just off the top of my head, given a week there is a lot more loop holes one could find. all I am saying is consider the consequences, yes a stolen bike SUCKS, I will be glad to help find the guy but not when threats are made against his person (which could be used as a charge for Premeditated Assault in a court of law, if acted upon, verbal or physical) you have to love the law
  7. 10 posts on The Hub and you are already calling someone an idiot?? you are treading on dangerous legal ground here, if that guy on the bike gets wind of this post he has grounds to sue! just a thought! good luck with getting your bike back!
  8. dude, think a bit before you post.. if he bought it from someone (who could have even sold it over The Hub) how is he to know it's stolen property??? get the facts before you make assumptions!!
  9. Howsit, A couple of us are riding at Woodridge on Monday 21 March 2011 (Public Holiday) in the Port Elizabeth area. Let me know if you are keen, some are riding out there early, probably leaving around 6am, (for Transbaviaans training) and some are going in cars (for TransN2 training ) PM me if you would like to join us.
  10. prayers and thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery!!
  11. i would wear the red top, black bibs and red bootie on the left and black on the right!! Keep them guessing, cause now whoever reads this post is going to know your strategy
  12. yip they are available in Frame, Fork (Rock Shox REBA RLT), headset.. not sure exact retail price but it is somewhere around R15,000.00. frame alone weights 1090g
  13. also got mine last week have you noticed that the Asics logo glows in the dark created quite a buzz on the club runs
  14. haha! no the 'JR100' is the name of the Momsen Juvenile Bike. a 24" bike with 26" wheels (a '29er' for a kid )
  15. awesome, thanks! found out there is a group meeting at the Kragga Kamma Spar at 6am then riding to the trails from there.
  16. anyone know of MTB Group Rides in Port Elizabeth in the week and over the weekend? I am new to the trail and not to keen to ride on my own..
  17. apparently someone already guessed correctly so they couldn't keep it a secret any longer ??
  18. saw this at the Argus Expo 7.84kg's for a Carbon 29er Momsen SL929 Carbon 29er Stans Race 29 wheelsets SRAM XX, WTB Silverado Saddle with Carbon rails, Momsen Design Carbon Rigid fork, stem and handlebar Momsen Design Seat Post http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg197/VW-Racing/IMG-20110310-00628.jpg
  19. the Trans-X Ergo is another option ..
  20. i think he rides hi sbike
  21. a wetsuit is relative in my opinion, at last years SA Triathlon Champs in Germiston I broke my PB for the 1.5k swim by just under 2 minutes without a wetsuit (plus i was faster through T1 ) for full IM distance yes the benefits of a wetsuit will far outweigh not having one but i think anything under 2km's what you might save on the swim you will make up in T1!
  22. the guy's name was Tony, it was a 18 wheeler truck. wasn't a pretty site his arms etc where separated from his body. Truck didn't realise he hit someone, he only stopped a few 100 meters down the road! RIP
