The 2 sh1tstirers in my life

They will be bargain of the century.Early reviews are saying the sl6 is lighter and more comfortable than the sl7

That was to try get it close to the 6.8kg weight (non tubeless wheels and cotton tires) ‘So basically when you put on normal tires,pedals,cages your 200k bike is over 7kg. In 2020 that’s ridiculous

although looking at the prices my stomach churns but I tell you they will sell them all. Chatting to the wahoo guys today,they brought in 50 kikr bikes and sold all of them in a few days so there are people out there with cash

Please give Bogus a bit of slack guys. due to circumstances he has had to take a day job so painting now falls to weekends. Lets be happy he can still help us out.

Out of interest who is the current Colnago agent in SA?

It’s easy from armchair to comment about price increases until we get full behind the scenes info. Thanks Christiaan for info. As mentioned in previous post NOTHING is going to get cheaper. At best you could perhaps get a trainer second hand from someone selling it at what they paid for it.

It’s not only the price of goods that’s going to go up but shipping as well. just spoke to mate of mine yesterday who’s in courier business ‘with SAA going to **** that direct shipping route that they alone had from USA is gone. Everythiing from states must now come via Dubai or wherever. Expect everything to go up at least 30% . Everyone is fighting for survival as you can see current fantastic online deals from bike suppliers but whenever local stock is replaced from overseas expect to see huge price jumps

Anyone know if TOGH got any UCI status this year?

Wahaha good one SwissVan. After Cav stunning performances this year they still talking about him having a place in TDF team.That about sums up where they are.You struggle to finish minor little tours but you still got a place in the team in July

Basically he has no clue why they not performing.Says numbers are good ,equipment is good but cant even follow the front guys. I can’t help thinking guys are purposely on a go slow.If i watch Giro stages from the start every day I don’t see any DD riders even attempt to get in the break.Team not even riding as a group,riders scattered all over the pelaton,mostly fart arsing around the back. To me Doug is the problem but that’s just my 2C

Yep with Continental teams having more points than them at the moment they are in the dwang.Note the team just behind hem is MvdP team so good chance they will overtake them as well. I’m sorry but I just bring it down to poor management. Everything from wrong rider purchases to wrong team selection for races. Feel sorry for guys like Van Rensburg that are doing fantastic at the moment. I would back him above Cav any day at the moment

And pretty soon you won’t even be able to tell the difference between normal and Ebike. Colnago new e64

2018 prize- Epic entry 2019 prize- Cycling jersey Damn that’s recession

I just can’t get my head around the “ my heart is stuffed and shouldn’t be riding “ or got dodgy hips or knees but let me go ride a ebike. I just see that as asking for trouble on the trails. Riding the ebike is not going to all of a sudden remove what some people have as a serious medical condition

Had a chance to ride the 2019 trance e this weekend. WOW. From someone who has constantly slated them I’m not sure anymore.I can understand the enduro guys looking at it to get 5 or more enduro runs in.Its insane. I’m still completely against shops selling to newbies with no skills or people that are so medically f@cked they shouldn’t even bee in a wheelchair now riding a ebike.

Sometimes something as small a job as a seatpost can totally transform a bike. Fantastic work as always Bogus.
