No! ...but then again those are the perks of a prospering dictatorship!

...just pages through the Times morning paper and would you believe not a single breath on the tour or its associated shambles. Report only the good stuff I see!!

Funny how Africa is always wailing about itself and on how short changed it is. Cries for things and when they are given to it, it contrives ways to f@ck it up!!!! Hence why the Dakar is now in South America and the Tour of SA in Pitcairn probably. They would no doubt do a better job as they are not located on the hopless continent!

First world, governed, disciplined, mannered, proud, decorum, self esteemed, . . . ?

.. . . .not drawing any comparisons to the Tour Down Under now perhaps? You're forgetting that everything in this shagpile is politicized!

'. . ..then they will come through the human of cradle kind'. The Liggett already at it.

Ta for the heads up!

. . . .your thoughts struck with me to!

ditto! If I remember correctly the qualifying criteria was down shifters. . . .

All my Colnago's bar one are mostly modern machines so I've avoided placing them here. The Mexico is still a work in progress and I'm itching to get that one completed and on this thread for sure

funny that. . . .I took my latest one in on Monday. . ., .irony!

hey Morpheus how many Colnago's in your stable?

Football commentator extrodinaire!!!

......haven't watched Supercyclelab in ages!!!

. . .and the moral to this story? Lie and get 2 years. . . . ..come clean and get 3 for your troubles! Unless I'm missing something?

Depends on whether its carbon or Carbon?

Typically South African! Talk big and deliver effall.... except make great excuses. Especially love all the "World Class" jibes! What a joke....

..did it come with the cap or did they charge extra for that?

I have always used bottles for around 5-10 rides then toss them and start again.

You'll probably get it quicker from CRC than you would from a physical bricks&mortar shop in this country.!

Wow the world loves the global village and free markets but as long as they speak the "approved" language. Christian Tidow should come and see some local boys for tips on collusion!!

The official results are due out in December 2014....

Spot ON!!!!!

...no confronting surely means that there would have been no swearing! So if you're not an officer of the law (joke) then don't get involved. Let the guy ride how he sees fit and carry the consequences of his choices. There are too many self appointed moral police on the beat in SA.
