  1. I am hoping for delivery of my need steed today! Went with the Commencal Meta AM HT 29'er in the end.
  2. Some great Black Friday deals out there: https://knollybikes.com/products/tyaughton-steel (40% off once you add to cart) https://lynskeyperformance.com/live-wire-special-gx-eagle-mechanical/
  3. That's a very interesting option. Thank you. I'll trawl through some reviews on it. Lovely specs at first glance though!
  4. Thanks so much for the response. That's exactly what's holding me back from buying. I just can't get my head past the feel of my steel cotic.... I chatted to Wayne this morning about the Rapide Tigre but I'm just worried that I'm a touch taller than their max hight recommendation on their XL. Decisions decisions. I'm really having to force myself to be patient here!
  5. Sorry not sorry for raising the dead here. I need some advice. I'm pulling the trigger soon on a new HT monster. Current front runners are: - Nukeproof Scout 290 (Concern is CRC in business rescue, and crazy shipping / duty cost) - Commencal Meta HT AM Race (https://commencal-store.co.za/products/meta-ht-am-race) I can't help but think I want something in steel through. I have a cotic simple SS which I really love riding. I just can't seem to find a good option here that comes as a full bike, with OEM pricing on components AND ships to SA. I'm 1,98m tall, so I need an XL or XXL depending on the brand.... makes things that much harder to find. Any thoughts / help on stores that serve our niche market would be appreciated.
  6. I have the same machine, and get plenty of crema. But, it's probably less relevant than you think. This is a great video explaining what crema actually is: Fresh beans make the biggest difference, and you probably want to brew a little hotter in the Sylvia than you think.
  7. Hi all. I've put my SS back on the market, with a price drop for the new year. Will accept a reasonable offer. See it here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/321718-cotic-simple-29er-xl/
  8. Ya, sort of. Its also and emersion brewer and a filter brewer. The plunger is weighted, so you get consistent pressure every time.
  9. Hi All, I received a Trinity Brewer as a gift. While I really like the coffee it makes, I already have 2 aeropresses, and a clever dripper. I'm selling it for R2000. (see here for full value: https://capecoffeebeans.co.za/products/trinity-one-brewer) PM me if you're interested!
  10. All the best man. I've basically just switched to carnivore, and everything is better. Like, everything. Stable weight, stronger, much more clear thinking, amazing bowel movements (Because it's the first thing people ask me), recovery off the charts, hardly get sick, mood is stable, .... I could go on. My many many many hours of research and experimentation all point to one thing. Remove carbs. Don't bother adding fat. You can, without harm, but you don't need to.
  11. Mostly, because we don't like stale coffee, and, all those capsules! Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
  12. Argh. Sorry! I cocked that up. truthcoffee.com indeed. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
  13. Read, tried, love. The cleanest taste I've had by miles. Unreal how much difference it can make. I usually love a bit of cream in my coffee (yah, I know, terrible), but I loved a cup of this as-is.
