Prince Albert Cycles

Forgot about Mercer . Good suggestion

Try Calculus bikes in Hermanus. They do brilliant work in titanium .

Rush Sports imports the Apex which fits the description . Retails for 3700 . There should be a dealer in Gauteng .

Did you perhaps transport the bike on a bike rack with the top tube in a clamp ? With those racks going through a dip on a road the weight of the wheels create a huge downforce that can cause damage to a frame .

Not at the time was looking at the bicycle now with a relook I recognized the road .

Truly special . Now get him something he can ride to Varsity . If that belonged to me I would not hear a word in class with it parked outside .

What size or does it not matter ? We can help looking out for a Zini

agree with all of the above out of personal experience

You are assuming he bought it from a shop ?

Mamma Goga is going to tell us later today I believe.

Chris at Best Bikes in Durbanville helped me to get parts for an old Trek bike

I hope the quality is better than what they are currently making . I sigh when a Raleigh enters my workshop .

One of the best ways to be visible in the dark is to fit a small light or reflective tape around your right ankle . That moving light is a must see.

Well done .Wear sandwich bags inside your shoes over your socks .

The steel FARR frame is an excellent choice . I did a build project with that frame , 700 X 40 tyres , Lauff fork and it was very very comfortable and stable . And you have the mental assurance that steel don't crack .

Some nice suggestions here . Just an observation from personal experience as the owner of a small bike shop in Prince Albert . The Swartberg Pass with our without a visit to Die Hel is a very popular destination for mainly international cycling tourists and I make a point of it to talk to those passing through sometimes helping with repairs , spares and accommodation and route advice . I have seen few bikes valued over 20K . A lot of old faithful 26" bikes that they buy in Jburg or Cape Town and fit them with panniers and water holders . Point I am trying to make is that us South Africans , and I include myself are sometimes more concerned about the equipment than the journey . Secondly , we South Africans don't appreciate the bike travel opportunities in our own country . Stay healthy .

IN that case , I am not riding

I suppose not wearing a helmet means he has nothing to protect

Great initiative and thread

Sorry about your loss hope you are insured . Awesome bike that BMC .

If all else failed try adjusting the der to be slightly to the outside of the highest gear , i.e. outside cog, just a little

No , not . Plenty of builds like that .

I don't know if I like this . Hopefully uncle Ernesto made them pay !

No , not class prefects just trying to protect the little that we have .

I have a small collection of these ( can't upload the photo ) all issued by Prince Albert Municipality , the oldest being 1942 .
