Vetseun I am in for R1 per kilometer. And a supper/lunch/beer stop at Britstown Hotel for you if it is allowed in the rules? Trap hom!

Some bike reviews of the pro’s bikes, please. And some of the backmarkers.

Is Vos on a new Cervelo. R5 with modified fork…read somewhere, but not sure that is the case, rear tyre will be limited.

Advertise here, your market is here. Do you know the size?

John are you in SA to provide support? Can’t wait for the stages, was awesome to see Matt come past and power on the false flats. He looks strong and very relaxed in the interviews. How do you rate our ladies team, Mariska and Candice? Hope they can pull it off.

RIP, you will be missed.

Was thinking along those lines last night, with Santa Cruz and Greg Minnaar, there must be scope for Cannondale and Hatherley.

To be honest, I have now idea of the capabilities of Rush. The Raleigh/Scott buy-out was probably a nice pay day, enough for me to ride into the sunset on that Baum bike I am lusting after. To introduce Focus to SA, would have been to expensive for Rush to take the risk. Cannondale however is established and by my own observation even took some market share from Specialized. Rush can not compete with Santa Cruz on price and rage with Cannondale. Feels like Omnico is not giving enough traction for GT, Schwinn and Mongoose. Know of a few GT-i drives and Mongoose Meteors that have done epic back in the day. Those meteors was good value for money. Few affordable gravel bikes from any of the above brands, few GT "enduro" bikes for SA market.

My thinking is that BE from Rush will be after the portfolio of bikes that Cannondale provide, to go head on with Scott.

Asked all of these questions to my lbs. My opinion and his differs, he reckon no change. I am thinking Rush Sport doing Dale going forward. Detail article on Slowtwitch about the American market. https://www.slowtwitch.com/Opinion/Pon_Buys_Dorel_Sports_Why_And_What_Does_That_Mean__8113.html

English racing green. Beautifull bike!

Made my day! Thanks. Good looking bike, ripper, negative stem and all. Frame bag, wat are you going to carry, halve of sarmie.

Cois, asked them to demo the scooter for at least a week! To ensure it meets your needs.

Awesome! Not even an e-bike will get me that time with my current fitness. Respect!

Did I miss the picture of the bmx of @Jewbacca?

Did @Blouogies get the Epic ride?

You can buy direct from Hoka International, they do ship to SA, but be aware of the import duties. I had to show some patients and wait for the Clifton 8 to arrive, going through Hoka International would have been R1K more expensive. Perhaps Ikhambi can do a special order, would also like a pair of sandals.

Beautiful, great to see a picture of you riding. Enjoy your cycling.

Be brave and go full nineties retro with lumo yellow decals. PS. Dreaming of a custom blue to white fade, with black paint drops, pink decals on the rear stays and lumo yellow on the main triangle.

Cool paint job. Neatly done, no way I will be able to do that. Awesome that the frame got a second chance on life. I will put decals on, probably black decals or white if you want them to stand out. Enjoy your bike.
