So I took the Ritchey for an 8 hour maiden spin around Cape Town (Tokai, Silvermine, etc.)

Sweet loving fun. Fits perfectly

 

Only issue: an anoying creak. But sure that will be sorted

Rouxtjie, dis 'n Fouriers 34 T. Kom van Cape Cycle Systems. Single speed blade. Dangle het dit voorgestel.

[Post your mtb SS]

Finally completed her last night. Her name is Liela

 

The wheels are old. Don't have the bucks now to buy new hoops as well. Stem is loaner from other bike. Until I find correct length (Thomson 90mm?)

 

Still to be done: get a stem, XT ice tech rotors and get rid of the creak

 

Longer term changes: get a Lefty and new wheels

 

And take her for a proper ride this weekend :-)

Has anyone seen the new Niner RDO cogs? Very, very nice

 

And it comes in a rooi blikkie

Jip! Now to assemble

Uiteindelik!

 

And this is the proper use of the couch

[Commuting Durbanville To Century City]

I take another road from Durbanville to the city past Century City (Bosmansdam road). I go over Jip de Jager, Hendrik Verwoerd, le Sueur, a couple of left and rights in Imhoff in Monta Vista and then into Edgemead Dr towards Bosmansdam. Worst bit is passing over N7 and Montagu Gardens.

 

The road has far less debre on it than your road

 

At the moment I have to go to clients but should be back next week

Lekker wiele, BAMF_SS!

[Commuting road or mountain/commuting bike]

Cyclo-cross. But it is not easy to find one. Of 'n swart dikwiel

[Pinarello Treviso]

Dis 'n mooi fiets

[MTB trails in the Democratic Republic of Congo]

Dude, I have worked all over Africa and I am telling you to forget it. Save yourself a pile of frustrasion and green us dollars and leave the bike at home. No border official is as nice as you would like them to be.

 

Rather borrow someones swartdikwiel and cruise around. Or buy a cheap Chinese bike there. It will be cheaper. Or start running

[held up on the cape town bike path under woodstock bridge]

Dankie. Goed om te weet. Ek kyk maar altyd rond maar jy weet nooit

 

Ek is eers 18:00 huistoe en daar was polisie kar wat heen en weer gery het

[EX SSWC bikes .................]

There is a BMC for sale. Two months old, so it had to have been build for SSWC

[CT route to Milnerton in the afternoon]

The biggest lesson with cycling in the wind is to always be aware of gusts of wind. And then of cause the fact that you waste your energy to try and fight the wind. Accept that you will go slower and just keep on cycling. It is like swimming, you are not stronger that water so don't fight it.

 

And you will become stronger. Amost like cycling uphill all the time

[SS Mtb Frame Advice]

I am also looking but all I find is $1500 + frames. And the rand is not exactly in our faviour. My quest continues

 

The Santa Cruz Highball is around 7k

[Things I've learnt from commuting]

So, it was a beautiful day today and I thought I will take the long way from Durbanville to the city via Tableview. A low and behold I get a flat even with knoble tire, tire liner and stans in the tube. Sometimes not your day

 

Thanks to the 2 guys on ridged mtb's( nice Niner!) and the fast and friendly red fixie guy for overing help. To the rest, thanks for nothing

 

Moral of the story: always go prepared with extra tubes. And of course food. My choice an apple in the morning and jungle bar in afternoon.

[Things I've learnt from commuting]

I measure my fitness according to how often blow up on my way home. I am now down to maybe once or twice a week. This 70k a day and hills at the end of the day is sometimes a killer

[CT route to Milnerton in the afternoon]

I am the guy on the avo bike with a carrier :-)

[CT route to Milnerton in the afternoon]

Steffi, I also cycle but am a bit inconsistent with time that I leave office. Will look out for you.

 

Don't use the N1. As a beginner that is not way to go. And besides why do we have a cycle path?

[Post your mtb SS]

Genade! Now I will realy need to start saving for one of those mooi fietse. Reynolds 853 steel bike.

But don't stop sending ideas

[Post your mtb SS]

I can live with a Lynskey and I like the paintjob on the Swift

 

A frame with sliders or ebb will be it

[Post your mtb SS]

I am looking for ideas for higher end single speed specific frames for a project. Rigid or suspention at front.

 

Thinking about Niner SIR9, Santa Cruz Highball, Cannondale with Lefty

There are some serious expensive titanium frames but that is out of my league

 

Any ideas?

[Giant Simple Single]

Hairy, you are not allowed to post pictures like that. That is an awesome bike. Brand/ model?
