    Great to hear - I agree that Arshard did go above and beyond to sort my issue out .

    Final Update - Arshad explained the error and dealt with it very well. I will have the correct shorts delivered to me before the weekend. Problems happen - it's how you deal with them that count. I feel this was dealt with properly and I would now order again from them!!

    I just opened my order - the Asos Shorts I bought arnt as advertised, the shorts shown are the current model (newer black logos) and the ones I received are from 2019 with the old shammie and white rubber logo!!! NOW IM NOT IMPRESSED

    I binned it after too many issues with Waltly so I bought a Open Wide instead and plan to get fit not just look cool getting a coffee

    Update: Ashrad responded quickly to my messages and the item was delivered today My Learnings: When dealing with a new online shop - call them, talk to them and check who they are using to post and check the postage costs Don't ever rely on Internet Express - they are very slow and you simply can not get hold of them When bargain hunting be prepared to wait !!!

    Very Cool Arshad - Thanks Whatsapp with all the details sent.

    Any one else having issues with them? I placed an order and paid, they charged me for the free shipping, I still haven't received the package after 6 days, the courier company don't answer their phone and when I call Solomon I got a rude answer that I struggled to understand then put on hold while I could hear all the people in the back ground, no one picked up for 4 mins and when I recalled then there was no answer!! Very frustrating and a first and last experience with them for me!! Maybe they are better in their shops but their online experience isn't not great at all

    Its been a long **** last couple of years as Im sure most of you can relate. My world has slowly started to open up again and I can see a little light at the end of the tunnel, I have not had a personal project for over 2 years and its been killing me..............So..........I can't afford to do a 356 yet, I can't find an oval that is priced right for a restomod, I finished my motorbike project (https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-husqvarna-701-enduro) so boredom has set in, after a fun ride on the dog walker the other day I decided it was time to build something a little special again. This will be my 4th fully custom ground up build. 1st: https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/134550-first-ever-ssfixi-build/ 2nd https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140980-2nd-ever-ss-build-belt-drive-9er-dog-walker/ 3rd https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/162718-n1-the-third-attempt/#comments I have decided on the following: Stay True to my design philosophy “ Clean, Simple, Minimal” The idea is to take all of my learning from my last three builds, then design and build one bike to rule them all. Based around a raw Titanium frame, Black carbon forks, front disk brake with full 360 rotation of handlebars running Crank Bros Wheels and a belt drive. I have persuaded a seasoned pro to help walk me through the process and plan to keep my updates here. Its fun for me to go back and read and remember the journey I took!! I appreciate that all my builds are "Marmite" - you either love em or hate em and this has never bothered me, I do them for me, for my pleasure, for my creative outlet, to remove the stress and drama of my work life. I have just finished my fairly extensive design brief so now all the hard work, home work and sourcing begins!! I will keep you posted as the story unfolds. As always please free to add value and offer advice, I have a very clear picture of the end result in my mind and I am not willing to sacrifice it!!

    Ok so I rode to an appointment yesterday (about 6km) First impressions: Dam this thing has two brakes and gears!! Its comfortable - great riding position and seat was a lot better than expected thoroughly like the bars - hate the drops so will probably cut these off (let the trolls and haters begin) gear changes are very smooth - push once to drop a gear - push hard to go up 2 or 3when I freewheel then pedal its very loud - almost like the spokes amplify the noise the levers have gaps where the thumb sits which I don't like my shoes are comfy but Im not as quick into my pedals as my vans (this will take time I'm sure) I need to remember it has a rear brake I need to ride it ALOT more before I even think about taking it off road it was a fun build but a very steep learning curve The front ring that I was concerned about - Im not at all any more (however need to ride it more) I think I'm going to stick to single speed urban bikes!!! It certainly draws attention Again thank you for all the support, help, comments and pushing me forward. Any questions please ask away!! Until the next one: N2
