  1. Back in the days of long stems, narrow bars and really narrow tyres (not to mention 26" wheels...)
  2. Sure, but our sponsor is the employer of one of our team members. It's a small company with very defined budget. Certainly not a huge corporate with a seemingly limitless coffers. There is going to be some hesitance in getting clearance on R12k. We will hope for the best on the PPA member route.
  3. R9 200 per Team Entry what was last year's entry fee? And then R12k for a corporate entry? That's pulling the ring out of it
  4. Don't get too excited. They mix it up a bit with who does whom/what...
  5. Custom Mosaic Bicycles titanium balance bike https://cyclingtips.com/2017/08/bikes-bunch-custom-mosaic-bicycles-balance-bike/ Read the article to see all the cool details
  6. Available at CRC http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/pirelli?icn=week31_2017_pirelli&icb=bspot1-c-week31_2017_pirelli
  7. You are thinking of a 'cream pie'...
  8. Bike lanes are progressing along Spaanschemat/Orpen Rd, but still gaps and unfinished sections here and there. It seems that there are on and off road options - having ridden both, I wanted to make an observation without sounding whiney and then thought that I would keep my opinion to myself so as not to appear ungrateful... But then Rob Vogel shares my opinion, but worded it better (in the PPA newsletter) and even did something about it (which I wouldn't have): A number of you would have seen the cycle paths taking shape along Spaanschemat River Road near Tokai. I cycled on the newly asphalted section past Constantia Uitsig two weekends ago and noticed how bumpy the ride was. I pointed this out to the local ward councillor, Liz Brunette, asking her to get the contractors to run a roller over the entire section. What we don’t want is a brand new cycle lane not being used because it’s uncomfortable to ride on
  9. You wouldn't dig Barry Hilton's mate: https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwidzseog7TVAhVMCcAKHfIyD84Q3ywIJjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DkYdQuj9UUIQ&usg=AFQjCNHTgtR17uOUBlHrqzhbBFkS2mgbkQ
  10. Up, Down and Around the mountain (supposed to be winter in Cape Town...)
  11. I enjoyed Season 1 & 2, but they were closer to a documentary than a traditional TV story (when I read that out loud, it doesn't make sense) Narcos Season 3 will go on Netflix on September 1, 2017
  12. Thanks for the offer, but see below: Thanks for the advice guys, I will hang on for a bit then...
  13. My wife needs a tubeless conversion done on her bike and these would be perfect! Pity I wont be getting even slightly close to Durbanville in the near future
  14. If I were a girl for a day:
  15. In FREAKING credible! Amazing camera work as well
  16. Thank you for getting involved with this initiative. Offering a huge prize like this is very generous, and gets the attention of everyone (which is what you wanted to achieve). Looking forward to more of this kind of stuff in the future
  17. Except Donna. She's awesome
  18. G0dd@mn! I missed that ! (but seriously. is there still more to the story? Aren't they just milking it now?)
  19. You are right! I am. I keep forgetting about the movie - must watch!
  20. i have watched all three Fargo seasons in a row - thoroughly enjoyed them. Lots of subtleties & clever details, weird detours sub plots.
