  1. Maggies Jy's 'n doring Impi!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
  2. One of the bikes I use to drool over for hours as a kid was the original Cannondale Black Lightning. All the gold detail on the black frame was soooooo sexy
  3. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you guys ROCK!!! Everybody hates Armstrong and criticise him and here we are, 80 PAGES of still the most influencial rider EVER (doped or clean) AND HE DOESN"T EVEN RIDE ANYMORE!!!!!!!! Absolutely Briliant
  4. that chain ring on the Master actually looks quite gooood!
  5. I can't believe it's another year since I last visited this thread. How big of a mission is it to have a fork re-cromed? My Pinarello Pista is taking a hammering riding next to the beach And what do I do regarding the Columbus decals on the sides of the fork?
  6. Just sold my Advance 1 this week really awesome looking frameset. Am I wrong in saying that the new Advance now has an Alu steerer tube? Think they want to create a bit bigger gap between the 2 frames
  7. I just wanted to ask about your ride... As consolation, even the harbour is shut down
  8. A mate of mine wants to sell his (and buy a MTB) for R5000 for anyone interested. Size Large
  9. Let me know if you're placing a CT order. I'm considering wheels and bar tape. Does anyone know if the 10% discount deal stil valid
  10. From all my bikes, incl. high spec'ed race mechines and more, I loved my Merida 903 aka training rig the most
  11. It takes more convinsing to change from comuting by motorcycle to biking than what I thought
  12. While on Styleman, take off that thingymebob on your seatpost. What, you hang your groceries on it, a connection for a trailler, or is it a light fitting. Don't tell me you ride with lights From Styleman Handbook:" You shall not use lights. Ever"
  13. Just went through a similar thing with a guy at work. Ended up with a Merida Full Ultegra almost just about brand new for R7000 - hub deal. He learn the ropes on it, pretty decent looks and well speced bike for R7k. If he likes us, he can sell in a year's time and get a carbon beast without losing much Why spend R20k if you don't even know what a BB is???
  14. From Styleman handbook:"Crankarm shall be horisontal in all photos"
  15. WOW 4.84kg's with what seems like "normal" parts, and even frame decals
  16. I might start commuting from Big Bay to harbour one of these days, we'll see
  17. Yip ok it was 'bout 2years ago (and maybe it was R270). pricing on ebay was then R800min. Ride with proper road pedals and shoes, you'll need it to brake more efficiently in traffic
  18. I've done peak hour traffic with her, but I would not want to do it every day. maybe consider a front brake. I know purist don't do brakes, but for commuting maybe consider it
  19. when last did you ride Fixed around sharp bends? That's my ride yes That's bad luck, I thought they sold 'em too cheap
  20. For cranksets, try Dave Wiseman in Dbn. 165mm Pista craks for something like R250 Don't think you'll beat that pricing Don't fit 170+mm cranks, you'll end up on the deck
  21. ...but as far as sales, go, there are always plenty on the hub and has been for years, because there are so many on the roads
