  1. Wanting to revive this topic. Hows the riding these day in Mozam? I want to ride from Kosi to Maputo over the new tarred road. Last time we went to Moz in 2007 we were harassed by the "cops". Can we expect the same if we do a tour on bikes?
  2. I have two frames for you. One Trek and one Geneses. will PM you
  3. Around about June last year (2016) I was wondering around Cash Converters and came across this very sad looking ladies Peugeot. I thought it would make a great restoration project but they wanted waaaay too much for it. Then in November I was again wandering around the same Cash Converters and spotted her, now even sadder and hiding under some wet suits and dumbells. She was so tired of being neglected she had to seek the comfort of the neoprene and the security of the heavy weights. and someone had taken away her front wheel I needed to rescue this old lady and give her a well deserved and precious retirement. Pics from when I brought her home. Gave her a wheel from one of my other road bike so she can at least stand up straight. http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_20170101_155240.jpg http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_20170101_155305.jpg Was loving the details that were still alive from her younger days http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/stickers.jpg Because these decals are so precious and fragile I decided to preserve them and the paint rather than repaint. So after much cleaning and careful sanding I covered her in 3 coats of clear gloss paint. This preserves the color and decals and keeps her looks. The front fork had Chrome calf height socks but the chrome was very pitted and couldn't be saved without rechroming. So I gave her thigh high white socks. http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/forks.jpg Looking fantastic after the cleaning and gloss coats http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_20170106_082117.jpg http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_20170106_082318.jpg Next were the brakes. These are very special. They seem to be a hybrid between caliper and cantilever. They got stripped, cleaned and polished. Added some modern brake pads to help her stop better. http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_20170106_233101.jpg http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_20170106_233126.jpg The front derailleur was cracked and could not be saved. I cleaned and polished the chain rings and brought the inner one to the outside. http://krunkrace.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/crank.jpg to be continued....

  5. Registration for the second edition opens tomorrow. https://youtu.be/EhGlfQGscxc
  6. The KRUNK prologue will run on First Fridays. The road SS would be a good match. just be careful on the tight corners and the uneven patches. https://www.facebook.com/krunkrace/
  7. Although there are a couple of races which have that combination. Heia Safari night series for one.
  8. Check out the sticky post on their facebook page. Always last Friday of the month
  9. yeah looks like it will good fun but won't be entering cause of the price
  10. Resurrecting an old thread. Just upgraded to a 29er as well and first impressions are that I'm driving a bus. My 26er has 620mm and the 29er has 720mm. My worry is going through the forest and the bars will catch. How do you find the wider bars work in the forest?
  11. I live and work in Randburg. It's 15 mins away from Cycle Lab fourways where you collect your racepacks most of the time. 15mins there, 15 back, only leaves 30mins for parking and collection. I'd consider Randburg "closeby" to CLB 4ways. How do you guys, who live and work more than 25mins away, get your race packs and numbers?

    I got stuck in traffic on the N1 highway so ended up riding from the highway. Fortunately my wife was able to pick me up after the race from the finish[emoji4]
  13. I'm also considering the Sprada2. Will see how it goes.
  14. I assume you are shooting in RAW
