  1. Agree, he rides with confidence in this Vuelta.
  2. Louis had a good ride! Finished with some big names and before some.
  3. Beautifull, think the wheels needs some blue flames.
  4. 21 May 2008 a payment was made as a capital contribution to the company in exchange for shares. This capital was put to use to develop and market these amazing products. With the excellent results the last two years it is not unreasonable expectation from shareholders for a dividend or an opportunity to sell their shares. Not sure many investors will be satisfied with no return for 13 years. The company already moved to the US, the shares was issued in Salt Lake City. Our region had drought for seven years, last weekend past through the Boesmanland, still many farms without rain and veldt. Farmers spent their last savings on fodder to keep the few remaining livestock alive, this share investment can be used to buy feed, build a new herd, pay for living expenses. The farming community support many households, sure the taxes paid by the extended farming community exceeds the companies tax portion on the 4% sales in SA. Great success story, amazing product...hopefully this can be extended to the minority shareholders
  5. Not sure. Received a few bar in remuneration from the last AFS I could find online. There is definitely a back story that I am not privy to from a settlement reach that was part of the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchanged Commission.
  6. Her shares are also worth something, even more at the share price quoted in the article from my initial $10.50 calculation. My local experience with OTC is that it is not always easy to off load. Her case even more complicated with the death of the husband and the changes required on the share certificates.
  7. Going to be a bit negative. Was initially skeptical when a family member told me she holds shares in Leatt. Took it as a ja boet story. Few months later she shows me the original share certificate issued to her husband. Farmers in the Boesmanland, having shares in a cycling company, would not have believed in a 100 years... Was very keen to assist her to transfer the shares to her name as per the will, but was quickly disillusioned. Try and get a hold of some one to assist with a share transfer from the estate. The share dilution back in 2012 was not great for initial investors, 25 / 1. Shares trading in US OTC, seems like the OTC is a gamble in the US. My comments to her was to hold on to the shares.
  8. Nice bling front tri spoke or spinergy front wheel, just because you have to look fast going still.
  9. Was able to due 3 early morning runs. Got lost the first day, my fault, no sense of direction and a 10km became a 16km. The rain cancelled out the other days. Over the weekend the roads were quite, only cyclist on my way back. Tuesday, busy with many runners. Did not feel unsafe, but did not enjoy the runs due to the unknown surrounds. Keep safe and enjoy your cycling!
  10. Coming down to Cape Town for few days. No bike unfortunately, but will be bringing my tekkies. Been a slog the last three months so I do not want to miss my early morning runs. Is it safe to run alone at around 5am in the Rondebosch area? I know this is going to be the topic of our discussion on the 9 hour drive... and would like to call on the Hub wisdom as a matter of fact!
  11. Did Charlene made it?
  12. Had the same problem. Send my Fenix to Garmin, report back was new unit at discounted price. Not a great deal to be honest, only have 90 warranty. Discounted price was R1k below best price I could find for Fenix 6 Sapphire. Then Garmin managed to send to wrong unit Fenix 6 Pro, two week to sort this out. Very disappointed, old watch worked better, this new unit loose connetivity to my phone and is treates the same as the old unit.
  13. https://cyclingtips.com/2021/07/a-tropical-storm-is-coming-for-the-olympic-mtb-and-time-trial-events/ seriously tempted to stay in tomorrow morning for the triathlon and mtb.
  14. De Bod not very happy at the back.
  15. Age perhaps finally catching up.
  16. Was it not a rum and raisin PVM.
  17. Limit of R20k for small claims court. Divide per tour.
  18. This has been on my mind recently and wanted to ask a few times for input from John. Many sports, no fixed training schedule, let them play and find out what they like, that was the default answer. Seeing this new younger age athletes (cycling, swimming) not sure this is still the case. These athletes must have had structured training and volume for years to perform like they do. This interest me, supporting a few disadvantage children runners and just seeing what a change in diet can do to their performance. This is going to sound strange, bear with me: I have asked a biokinetics if it is possible to take one of these children and turn them into world class athletes by structured training from a very young age, and he was not convinced it is possible.
  19. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/round-up-15-olympic-edition-bikes.html Between the Trek and the Liv. Like the Trek very much, a play on my dream paint job, Kalahari Sunrise.
  20. Awesome Patch! Great sport. Thank you! Thanks from the Upington Animal Welfare Society for the "ruim" donation of food and blankets. The donation of food came just at the right time.
  21. Yesterday on Pinkbike, bloke from Cannondale challenging Dangerholm to a kids bike build-off. Have to say the lefty dale kids bike look great as is.
