Looks like it, probably stayed in the hotel in Britstown.

That is me right now! Excuse over excuse for not putting in the time to get fit again. Much easier to tell the young ones, back in the day.... Hopefully I can make a turn around and would like to meet you one day to put a face to a name.

That was last when I rode. Mixed team and following year in a team car. Never again!! Still have fond memories of those years.

We have boys, even the animal children are boys, sometimes I wish for a girl...to have change in who can pee the highest. PS the dog is our lion, Stevie Knows.

@Gucci, awesome choice!! Few years back a couple in Cape Town did custom amo paint on their Open`s with flipside his and hers. From your previous builds, sure it is going to look very classy. Enjoy your ride

Had similar experience when my wife ask me to order clothes for the children, living in rural Northern Cape, the fancy online address "tracker" could not found our delivery address, after 30min just gave up. Had many conversations with online retailers and couriers services they use, some can get it right to have a package delivered in 24hours, others 7 days plus. @Guccihow is the bike project coming?

Madone if the price is vat included, good price. Paid R28750 for our Hubbles. Have two of those and no compliants. Been using for 4 months, it took a few days for them to settle and charge to 100%. Apart from that, working to my expectations. We draw to 40% and then back to eskom. We dipped once to around 23%.

Congrats on a great ride and perseverance in the chase! Did you ever run out of water? Seems @Benky carried a lot more water. With what did you refuel on the road?

All is not well at CyclingTips and Outside.

https://bikerumor.com/2023-orbea-oiz-120mm-xc-bike/ New update. Number 2 on my list of bikes, the other Allied.

@Benky are you starting Munga? Personally will take probably 10 years to recover from that effort. Respect, kudo`s on great ride!!

Awesome looking paint jobs!!!

@DieselnDust, thank you for the feedback. That limited edition version...beautiful. Will probably never see one in my woods or lack thereof.

That XT version, looked twice, price is good. D&D your thoughts on the Allied BC40, reading, eyeing that bike the last two months, just very expensive US made.

Looks like new Oiz for 2023 https://m.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-2023-orbea-oiz-a-modern-xc-machine.html Always loved the Spanish brand from triathlon, then when working for a group company of Orbea, on the list of bike brands to own.

My son(5.5 years)got the Titan Hades SE this afternoon. Very nice bike, impressed!!! The components are well thought out, super shock, very smooth and it works even for his 23kg weight. Gears shifts is easy, he never had gears, around the block and sorted. Brakes is powerfull, more than he is used to, coming from Norco with v brakes. Could not find that the brake levers can be adjusted. Bikes reach is quite long…definitely going to replace the setback seatpost with straight seatpost. More than satisfied and can recommend.

Theirs were R190k, but included extension to the garage. Ours were R170k. For today, they standing on 16.9kw, we on 25.5kw, both batteries full. Atleast another hour of generating, for this they could have installed less panels. Final generation figure is 17.6kw for them, 26kw for our home.

Trashy I am note sure. Love all bikes and gadgets, but hopeless, asked my friend, Dirk at the LBS and he did it. Will send you a PM when I have the info.

Parents install. Same inverter and battery than our system, but they went for 9 x 565JA Solar panels. The panels is overkill for them, 6 could have done the job, but the salesman was good! Upington is made for PV, average around 23kw per day from our 8 panels.

Super M`s Titan Hayes SE arrived. Tubeless conversion done, rest standard. Will need to clean up/shorten that cables.

I rise you old faithful , 2007 Spez Epic S Works, Tune Hubs, stem and handlebar.

Super M`s Titan Hayes SE has arrived at the LBS. Meetings this afternoon, but hopefully pick up tomorrow. Picture received from Dirk at Cycle City Upington.

😂Personally have my eye on the Pyga TIG, some nice carbon hoops... With my luck will win at "die wit Olifant tafel" at the local basaar.

Entered earlier in the week, some ticket for myself and my brother-in-law. Not sure what we are going to do with the Pyga, it is more bike than what we are used to.

Kona and 70.3 double?
