  1. MUST JUST MENTION THAT Fritz Pienaar in Irene is NOT the shop that gave me the bad service....... FPI is excellent!
  2. Hmmmmm........ Makes sense. Here is a good shop: Fritz Pienaar in Irene - Technical competand, Friendly, Fair Bad service..... Here is an example.... Did an upgrade on my bike - got juicy 7 brakes, 200mm front, 185mm back. The guy promissed me that his BEST tech will work on my bike...... When I inspected the bike he used the wrong caliper adapter brackets..... Shimano on Avid brakes..... it LOOKS fine but on closer inspection it shows that only 2/3s of the pad grips the rotor.... He also used a front 200mm bracket on the back of the bike to "make" it fit - did not get the correct bracket......... Result - Bought new brake pads and the correct adapters and did the job myself..... Bad service - Taking your bike in for a service and getting it back with under performing brakes (discs) due to an idiot cleaning the rotors with a greassy rag...... Scratches on your fork? Cracked fork due to over tightend bolts? That IMHO is bad service....... O yeah and if you walk in to the shop , they see you don't great you..... have to wait for ever to be helped and then you KNOW the guy is clueless...... These days I prefer to order from CRC and do my own stuff......
  3. Howdy..... I think we should start to name and Shame Cycle shops that give bad service..... Some of my frustrations: 1. Not friendly 2. Not helpfull 3. Not caring stock 4. Technical incompetand 5. Customer service, huh can you eat it? Shurely we the cyclist should receive better service - we keep them in business!!!
  4. .......same goes for the idiots who 3 weeks ago raced through a bunch of zebras at Groenkloof!!!! I wished that a wildebees stuck a horn or two through his left leg - bike and then the right leg :-( :-(
  5. Hi, Some pics of my Reign that was done by Cycle Art....
  6. This came to R1800..... But what is not shown on the pic is the fabilous work that went in to the decals two at the front (white, tribal dragon that I downloaded from a tattoo webpage) and one at the back. The same dragon is at the back of the seatstayin black....... I will post some beter pics that do their work justice :-) Cheers.
