  4. Sadly like any industry when there is a middle man involved you are paying more than you should as the product or service rides the rollercoaster of capitalism. Having sold a few bikes recently and being offered a low ball price almost instantly after posting by dealers didn’t sway me, I remained patient and sold the items privately for less than what they would of retailed them for. Suppose it just depends on the sellers and how desperate they are to get some cash. my tip to sellers, research the value properly, be honest about the item’s condition and be patient. It will sell. Im no expert on the dealers and if they are adding value to the 2nd hand market buyers. But the sellers, from what i have experienced they (dealers) are taking people for a ride (pun intended)
  5. Looking for recommendations for company's that can do custom stickers on bikes in Cape Town for example print Fork or Rim stickers matching the original but in different colors. any suggestions welcome thx.
  6. hanging out with cool dudes in lycra.... and 350 was for the light so you missed two stages.
  7. ya oukies, its not great. But neither is inflation, or the dudes living in tents that watch us privileged moaners cycle passed their front door, maybe the extra 100 will help them, we can all hope at least ... We can moan all we want but if you want to ride the funride world champs then better enter early as the late fee is a proper kick in the passport oh and if you think this is an expensive entry fee i suggest you dont look at the cost of MTB stage races, you might suffer a heart attack. Parting thoughts - ride as slow as you can , have a breakfast on the way, enjoy the view, take pics and get your moneys worth, it's only a few rondtjies more than a ride in the cable car and costs less than a bagel and flat white in Seapoint.
  8. is it possible to enter at the event in the morning?
