    Jennie and Robyn are on a different level than last year, both taking wins over the last few months. The woman's race will be the race to watch. Bulls unless something dramatic happens Tech or Crash will be too far ahead by end of Thursday's stage

    Going the Canyon way, makes sence to keep pricing down by cutting out the middleman

    Was at the Bellville veledrome a few years ago at a event and talking to this old fellow while the racing was happening. As I get up to leave I shake his hand to say goodbye and ask his name and he says Gotty. My ears go up like a Rottweiler being called for dinner. "Sorry what is your last name?" I ask, Hansen he answers. Needless to say I sit my ash staight down and we talk for another hour about his great bikes and memories.I still thought to myself I could sit around a fire and listen to his stories all night. What a fantastic kind man he is and so very humble. My first bike and what led me to racing was a Hansom 531 with Shimano 600 with Biopace

    Agree too much gold however, Cable ends, shifters, front derailer and those delta brakes look awsome

    Not boasting more than being excited to have this on the premises that Christoph Sauser rode, well till it is sold anyway. Lots of races won with this stallion. Amazingly only weighing 9.7kg for a full sus and interesting to note that he used a Dura-Ace front derailer. This bike still makes me drool http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/christoph-sausers-2009-specialized-epic-17193/

    You seem pretty clued up on Trout fishing. Since moving here from jozi and being only 2 hrs drive from Dullstroom, I have not done much still water fishing. Can you let me know where are the best spots for fishing within 2-3 hours drive of Cape Town? Only place I really know of is a place outside Franschoek and that's not much to write home about

    Going to have to do better than that finishing 16th of 18 in team competition. "Doing good" is winning stages or races, nobody remembers who was in the break a week later but people remember a stage winner. Midway through May and the boys should be showing good form as they head towards Le Tour. Was hugely impressed with Sagan, he deserved that win

    Did I miss the part of the date you are leaving our shores?

    At 10k they don't know the price either. probably bought it for 6 or 7k

    Said it on a number of occasions... this year Louis will get a offer he cant refuse from the big name teams. MTN is a great stepping stone but he deserves a team that can set him up for the big mountains

    I usually spend a couple of months in Europe on holiday and rent a bike to use a few days. I am thinking of taking my bike with me this time as I would like to cycle a bit more. What are the costs on average of taking your bike across to France or Germany?

    If I make it to heaven, that is the bike I would love to ride through the pearly gates. Wow that is just absolutely AMAZING! Those delta brakes on a Italian icon...Im crying. If I may ask, what did it cost you in the end?
