  1. https://youtu.be/qKUbY9t5Hh0 The first time I saw this I got goosebumps. The adaptation of Nirvana's Come as you are is simply hair raising.

  5. Nice shot. Paradyskloof?
  6. I'm going to start screen shotting all your analogies from now on.
  7. Yep, The Rove. It's the 35mm version. Prettiest stem I ever saw and snagged it like 5 minutes after the ad was posted. I may be imagining but I can almost feel how wide that stems clamp on the bar is when I ride it. It did come with its own challenges though. You can't see it from the pic but the csixx carbon spacer on top had to be filed to a specific curved shape to fit the contour of the stem. A spacer simply would not sit flush on top. Probably intended for use with just the top cap above it. But I was rolling with a flat bar that had enough spacers beneath it and I wasn't going to settle. Took me like an hour to get it to fit snug. Turned out nice enough in the end. http://i.imgur.com/2S8fOEd.jpg
  8. When ever I head up there. I have to prepare myself for some heavy self reflection. There's no telling what conversation the voices in my head will have up that treacherous track of infinite twists and turns. Its too long. I'm not referring to the usual talking to myself routine either. I keep stopping and looking back thinking someone called me. But then I realize its probably the guy ahead of me. Mmh...Where is he?
  9. Spyker's hill is the worst climb for me. But only because its as psychologically traumatizing as it is physically taxing. The gradient is manageable for the most part. But its so long and dreary. Every corner looks exactly the same and the whole thing is just one big mind ****. Its impossible to get lost but somehow I always feel like I made a wrong turn somewhere. Didn't I just pass that same rock? Why is that bush following me?
  10. http://www.freemanscycles.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/500x500/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/r/sram_right_hand_-_5_speed.jpg I'm looking for a gripshift that someone is willing to let go of. Its for a DIY, cable actuated quad bike throttle. So it doesn't have to be in suberb working condition. A standard mtb riserbar will be used for steering. Would prefer a right hand one. But a left hand one is welcome too.
  11. I remember the ad for this stem. For a moment I thought about buying it and thinking. Mmh...I'm gonna need a green bike then. I was relieved when you bought it
  12. Mooi sled bra. I shrugged the hand guards off as another 'pfft...gimmick' when they first came out. But they look wicked on this bike. http://i.imgur.com/YH5KyZH.jpg Since I'm part of the giant club now. Here's a throwback to like last week or something. Please note the strategically place helmet and goggles. Usage of pedal and tree stump to keep the girl from falling. Perfect. Hipster's could learn a thing or two from this pic. Next time you post pics of your Macbook for Instagram and you're wondering where to place your triple, venti, half sweet, non-fat, caramel macchiato in the same frame. Refer back to this picture to see how proper product placement is done.
  13. Technically only those who are deemed worthy can lift it. A few others (besides Thor Odinson) have had success in lifted/wielding it. In the comics: Black Widow, Hulk, Captain America, Magneto, Jane Foster In the movies: Vision
  14. Same boat. Been fishing around I'll stick some contacts I came across here shortly.
  15. Yes. the 450 lbs spring that came with the frame is not for popcorn sized people. Since they were only like 30 bucks each I bought a 325 and 300. More amped for the tyres though. They look the business! Lets hope they seat easy. And not a moment too soon. I drove pass a DHL truck ealier and it reminded me to call them again when I got back. It didn't even occur to me that my package was probably inside on its way to me. That's how clouded my thought process has been lately. Stuck in the humdrum of 'things I have to do' The Interceptor! Came free with my motherboard. Nifty little budget gaming mouse. You can even adjust the weight by adding or removing tokens which slot in and out underneath. The stuff on my desk

  17. Would love to see this on the bike I got some stickers too when i got the goggles. They weren't free though. 10bux a pop. I figured why not. http://i.imgur.com/6Hpsg3Y.jpg

  20. Iron Fist needed to be the last of the four shows because its the one story which introduces the more mystical side of Marvel. Magic and re-incarnation etc. It sets the stage for the Defenders and their inevitable battle with The Hand. The Hand has a rich history in Marvel's comics. All we've seen so far is a couple ninjas. But The Hand is far more integrated than that. They've crossed paths with everyone from the X-men to the Avengers. Different factions exist in different universes. Previous members even include characters the MCU do not even have the rights of. Characters who belong to Fox. Notably Wolverine, Psylocke, Sabretooth, Mystique and a few others. But this is where it gets interesting. Those left. Characters the MCU do have rights over, who were (or could be) members of The Hand. Mainly: Daredevil (Yes, he actually led a fact of The Hand at some point) So did Elektra and Kingpin... Now I'm guessing that plans for The Defenders and by extension, The Hand, will not only feature Elektra and/or Kingpin but will somehow revolve around them as pivotal key characters in the story's unfolding. Remember, Nobu and his faction identified Elektra as Black Sky in Daredevil season 2. Stick and The Chaste are not out of the equation either. I predict we'll see more of them too. Then there's Kingpin. Man, I have to say. Vincent Donofrio is to Wilson Fisk what Heath Ledger was to The Joker. He was born for that role. I'm assuming we haven't seen the last of him either. I have no idea what's going to happen. I can only assume based on what I remember from the comics and how that pesky character rights thing between Marvel and Fox affects the the possible story line. I've always favored the MCU over FOX. Their adaptations of the comics have always seemed that much more creative. But FOX has really stepped things up with Legion. I just can't get over how good it is. Amidst all the confusion and psychological trauma the show puts me through every time The Shadow King rocks up. Is a bloody good story. I'm not sure if we're seeing the Muir Island story or just a parable. But man I love watching it unfold...
  21. I like it. Looks like its part of some eccentric costume nobody would actually wear. Push a button and the whole thing just folds up into your backpack http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3_6ujOvCzdA/UgQorCyhTEI/AAAAAAAAYzs/EfIW56WbfzE/s400/ready_to_fight__iron_man_2_gif__by_foxedpeople-d53jht4.gif
  22. haha, on point then
  23. From dulux to rolex. You full of errors today What's got you so distracted? and ya that swing arm is straight from Kona's 2003 lineup. Still not that bad looking imo, mooi colours.
  24. Goggles were never something I felt the need to over invest in. I paid around R250 back in 2014 for my 100% goggles with 2 lenses. They were the cheaper of all the models. The lenses aren't any less scratch resistant than the pairs which cost more. Mine are scratched too but not bad enough to warrant immediate replacement. Just how it is I guess. I noticed that if you're riding in dusty conditions. Don't be too quick to wipe em on the trail. The dust on your lense is enough to cause tiny scratches as you try to clean them. I usually squirt some water to get the dust off then wipe em dry. If replacement lenses for the Giro's cost about as much as a new set. Have a look at the 100% range. The entry level models are decently priced.
