  1. Beautiful I could really trash a credit card at Wheelbuilder.com
  2. If only he would reply to my PM's...
  3. I should have got those when I bought my groupset from TheV. Trying to find the covers/plates to convert my 'normal' shifters has been very challenging!
  4. Giant Anthem X 29 They deserve to be on something nice. Like a Tallboy or even a Pyga...
  5. Hope Tech Evo X2 brakes with braided hoses and floating rotors (180 f & 160 r) I am stil waiting for the Shimano I-Spec covers and the Hope shifter clamps and that should satisfy my fetish for Hope products. For now... (I already have hubs, rear skewer and will have the headset soon)
  6. Awesome! Congratulations! It look fantastic. That's quite an impressive weight. Especially with Arch EX rims. My Anthem X 29 is 12.3kg with a similar build (XT gruppo, Thomson bits & Hope/EX rims)
  7. Entry done. What a pleasure it was today 2013 will be Argust no. 13
  8. Was in the queue for about 20 mins and then got kicked out again 'Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.'
  9. Mine keeps bailing out on me. Not feeling all that special...
  10. The rain is not pouring down Its raining horizontally here in the CBD
  11. He is trying to get you to post a picture of yourself
  12. My previous experience with Royal Mail and no tracking number was exactly 3 weeks. A mate took the DHL option on her order. It was slightly more expensive, but the stuff arrived quickly (ordered on Saturday and delivered on Friday).
  13. I got impulsive and ordered some Hope disk brakes & rotors from Wiggle on Monday. Their prices were better than CRC, so I was impressed. Before I made the payment, I checked each item to see that it was in stock, and according to the website, it was. I stupidly clicked 'Priority Dispatch' for £3.99 and then "tracked delivery' for a further £30 (I told you I was being impulsive). The order was confirmed and payment went through, but the confirmation email arrived saying that the front brake wasn't in stock, has been back ordered and will be dispatched as soon as possible. I replied to that email expressing my irritation on Monday and got a reply today (Thursday) apologising for the delay and that the remaining item was being processed today. I went to online banking to check a few things and saw that they charged me the full amount when I made the order on Monday and then charged me again for the full order less the front brake today. So far, it hasn't been a great experience and I really hope that it doesn't take another 3 days to sort this out. Edit: Spell check
  14. Keep this in mind:
  15. About R5700.0 built with Stan's yellow tape & valves Hubs from CRC Rims from LBS at a very nice price Pillar spokes & build by Kevin @ BMC in Cape Town
  16. If you want the hi res pic, right click and 'save target as' on the photo
  17. Awesome! Looking forward to the pics!
  18. I managed to find an existing order to jump onto, so I am sorted. Thanks One thing that I noticed though, is that free shipping doesn't seem to be by Parcelforce with tracking anymore. I think its now Royal Mail International. My last package took 3 weeks to get to me! The tracked option is now an extra R200.00 and DHL is R200.00 and up
  19. This one even nicer
  20. This would be nice for Friday
  21. On my MTB, I have Thomson seatpost & stem (and seat clamp & headset top cap) with Easton EC70 flat wide bars Hope Pro II Evo hubs & skewer On their way are: Hope headset Hope Tech Evo X2 brakes & rotors
  22. so much of beautiful
  23. Beautiful sunrise in Cape Town this morning. Did anyone take a photo?
  24. I hope the weather prediction improves...
