  1. Albert road from circle towards river club the green lane was totally full of parked cars a couple of afternoons last week couldn't take photos but maybe a few would help so ill try
  2. don't assume that spoke patterns ,braking surfaces and wheel bags make wheels sets genuine and not Chinese manufactured (all of the right stuff comes with Chinese "branded" wheelsets the Chinese factories are now producing very high quality wheels with the latest cross section designs correct weights and any hubs and spokes you request worst part is they are really good wheels ..... but fake branding them is a very popular pastime in SA check out the price and ask yourself why someone with 'real' wheels is low balling himself its usually the give away with Chinese fake branded goods (its not just wheels)
  3. its a good thread
  4. yeah this thing is a bit silly even the model looks dubious
  5. HAHA classic 1000 points for Hairy
  6. Ouch that's a long time to be bikeless I think mine will just have to stay ugly and artless
  7. im impressed I though he had decal sets cut thnx for info re stripping your ride looks cool
  8. i want to do my dale too that's real pretty work what did he charge (if you don't mind saying ) did he supply decals also did you have to strip the frame separately (and assemble after) or is that included
  9. actually it was a sincere reply to hairy I do think his thread is valuable and my comment wasn't intended to detract from it (the soooorrrry was intended to demonstrate a lack of malice and give him a smile ) unlike you I don't indulge in sarcasm as its the lowest form of wit
  10. soooorrrry ill stay off your valuable thread then keep those photos coming
  11. in fairness to him its not like city of cape town builds cycling lanes running to the communities that really need access to an alternative form of public transport and so to the majority of cape town residents they don't mean a thing .... its not like most all the people in blouberg etc and rondebosch etc don't have a car (they choose to cycle ) maybe us cyclists would take less flak about the lanes if there was one or two that ran out onto the flats and more of those folk in those communities could commute safely by bike strength in numbers
  12. seriously you are planning to scratch peoples cars seriously ........ and stick things on peoples cars with glue seriously ......... when one of them catches you or sees you what you going to do then ? pull a gun ? best you start driving a taxi cause you don't sound like a cyclist
  13. im totally against illegal riding so please don't take this as a licence to get away with it but im amazed at how quickly you all gave the ranger a genuine id (which you are not obliged to have in your possession at all times) or your genuine id information its easy really - just lie ! but despite that DONT ride illegally
  14. sorry to spoil it for you but that's on the side of a road it is real pretty and a quiet road but still a tarred road and to ride bottelerey you have to travel there by road maybe you should get that mtb and follow tombeej around
  15. what winter weather
  16. Yeah man ! What tim said like ... Don't do it
  17. I have a friend in elgin that rides a standard revel 29 with upgraded brakes he goes everywhere on it in the Overberg (it will break eventually im sure) 100k + in a day no problem for him or it just remember a more expensive bike wont make you a better or fitter rider (something lots of people on shiney expensive bikes are compensating for -and they are only kidding themselves)
  18. you do get that even a used reba and a new hub the fitting of both will cost almost what you paid for the whole revel 29 bike and at the end you will have gone sideways and spent money on a bike that you will never get back when you sell it just live with it and enjoy yourself with it till you get another bike
  19. basically they have inserted themselves into our sport and force us to pay them one way or another and then have the nerve to claim they represent us csa are politicians and when they get done playing with the other politicians we will all be riding bikes with number plates on and having to do proficiency tests and pay and pay and pay ... its coercion dressed up as a service
  20. you only look good in these if you have a sort of "yeah I like don't rely have a beard but I spend forty minutes every morning trimming it " thing on your chin ............. come to think of it that was an 80s thing too ..... yeah they are very don Johnson
  21. sorry pal im none of those things on a bike(or in life) it seems it was just Lance who was a lying cheat and the two of you who are bullys on your bikes I know you have to write about something edgy to get in print but really this is what you came up with ......
