  1. Yep. Last year's R34k bikes are now R40
  2. I have switched from a Giant Anthem to a Specialized Camber. The two brands really are on the opposite ends of the 'value for money' scale.
  3. R150k for the S-Works fattie (with Ohlins) https://www.specialized.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/stumpjumper-fsr
  4. needs commentary
  5. She has a way to go until she matches Sara X https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYkrcBHXkyU
  6. Beautiful machine ! Congratulations !! Isn't a bike like that begging for some wide rims? I notice that those narrow rimmed DT Swiss wheels are specc'ed on a lot of new trail bikes. With all the 'new' trail standards of long, low, slack etc, it seems a let down to get 'old fashioned' narrow hoops. (or another way of putting it: It's an irritation to have to spend more money to bring the wheels up to spec)
  7. I was wondering this too. If I understand correctly, Team Lamre Merida becomes Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team under Brent Copeland http://road.cc/content/tech-news/199514-merida-sponsor-new-bahrain-merida-pro-cycling-team
  8. known as “the Shark of Strait Messina” in the pro peloton http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2015/05/04/1435868840747-sm0xvx4x4i7u-960-540.jpg https://www.specialized.com/za/en/s-works/sworks-tarmac-nibali-frameset/114456
  9. It is quite funny. I chuckled at: 'Right now I'm gonna go to my office and fix myself a goddamn drink!'
  10. Well, it's that or F Bombs
  11. I started watching Season 6 last night and realised how much I had missed Donna
  12. What did it say?
  13. My Trans Baviaans team just got funky
  14. It would be great if there was an SLX version of the new 11-46 cassette
  15. When he stands up http://8020.photos.jpgmag.com/1786026_225515_2af883d7a6_p.jpg
  16. He has flown under the radar a bit and certainly deserves more attention from us Saffas. Great performance from him. If he holds that position to Paris, will he be the best placed Saffa rider ever?
  17. I took advantage of Sunday's amazing weather and went 'around the mountain'. Should have taken more photos, as it was a rare winter's day.
  18. I finally finished this last night and found the ending to be SO disappointing!
  19. S Health integration with Fitbit, Jawbone, Strava and others goes live: http://www.sammobile.com/2016/07/04/s-health-integration-with-fitbit-jawbone-strava-and-others-goes-live/ I am not sure if this makes a difference to Disco or Vitality, but its still an interesting development.
  20. This one keeps me awake at night: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/198491-pyga-stage-max-black-custom-build/
  21. What part are you chewing on? Selling the caravan? sleeping in a tent? or how many & which Pygas you are going to buy for and your boys? Stop chewing, start selling and get building. Post pics!
