  1. 70th anniversary Colnago Steelnovo (€17,500) 70-piece limited run Columbus steel tubing with 3D printed lugs Mind blowing! https://velo.outsideonline.com/news/the-colnago-steelnovo-is-a-3d-printed-steel-bike-celebrating-70-years/ https://www.colnago.com/en/products/steelnovo-bike
  2. That light is very clever !
  3. Sounds awesome ! My (steel) Mercer isn't 'that' heavy. Have you looked at any bikes yet? Has anything caught your eye ? What sort of riding do you in between touring ? Would this be your every day bike ?
  4. This sounds like fun Where are you planning on going ? and on what bike ? (I am due for another trip. Its been a while)
  5. Yes to carbon frames (and everything that you say is also applicable to steel frames)
  6. Stellenbosch is a general sh!t show at the moment. Carte Blanch did a whole thing about the students being kidnapped for quick turn around ransom. Apart from the general high rate of muggings (and murders) in previously safe areas.
  7. This should apply to everyone. There shouldn't be new or different rules.
  8. Comments on Social Media: Jake going to fight Joe Biden next This reality: Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson, gets clowned for fighting an old man. Alternate reality, Jake Paul loses to Mike Tyson, gets clowned for losing to an old man.

  10. In a world of random and silly upgrades, there is right up there. It's so cool though! https://framesandgear.com/products/trek-disc-brake-direct-mount-derailleur-hanger?_pos=1&_fid=df8eba958&_ss=c Impulsive purchase after seeing it here: https://bikerumor.com/tadej-pogacars-limited-edition-colnago-v4rs/
  11. Another lady was relieved of her phone there recently. A sizeable group (two groups of 4 from opposite directions) boxed her in and very politely took what they wanted. When she reported it at the cop shop, she was one of 10 for that day. So, most of the incidents don't make their way here. Which means that the situation is way worse than we think it is.
  12. Don't change your stem, but rather look at the reach of your handle bars. Older bars were set at about 100mm Newer bars are about 80mm or so to compensate for the longer hoods of disc brakes
  13. Oh yes. The dairy farm near Humans Dorp has become quite a hazard. 💩 Severely pot holed and slippery as snot if they have just crossed the road. 💩 Seen a few nasty crashes because of that .
