They are closing down for good

Yes agree to all above, when your budget is R15K plus. But with a R6k budget I disagree. I had a Merida Big 7 which I used to prepare for the Sani, and did a few 50-60km races, and finished the same times as 29'ers.... (and I weigh 100kg) Big 7 will get you decent RS fork, hydraulic brakes and 2x11 SLX/XT groupset for R6-R8k. If you can only afford the "Civic" you can still enjoy it as much as the guy with the truck, and maybe even win him!

I see the comments about the thin sidewalls on the Barzo, what about the Cape Cobra version, is that the same or something else with thicker sidewalls and then obviously heavier?

For that budget I would suggest to also look at a 27.5" second hand, will get you a bit more bike for your R's.

Send me a pm, I may have stock, if I don't have I will find for you. Can also assist with prescription lenses.

Where are you from? This is not a sales pitch, but I work at a big Optom group and have a few options, very similar to the Rudy Project Rydon, but fairly priced. Send me a pm then maybe we can assist.

I weighed the Elite medium in the shop today, 12.6kg with pedals.

Anyone know the weight of the Elite and Pro models? M Frame

1x12 XT Groupset (Mainly) with a RS Sid fork for about R21k is not a bad deal at all...

Hatfield Cycles moved from Queenswood to where Fritz Pienaar was, cnr of Lynnwood and Duncan.

My ride, Planning to upgrade with Airstreeem handlebar,stem ect. early next year!

Thanks guys, this really helps alot! Keep them coming!

I`m looking to develop sport supplements, its just crazy how much guys charge for stuff that doesn't work, only because they spend thousands on marketing.... So the plan is to do some research on ingredients on the best and the worst, then making the best with the lowest price. I have access to a formulating specialist and a pharmaceutical company which will handle the production. All we have to come up with is the products, and therefore I need input from the man on the street, as we want to develop something that works. So what kind of supplements do you use and why? Is the price you pay for them a issue? This is still in planning phase, so any input will help! Thanks!

Sitting at the office whole day, this will have to do! Live coverage of the stage http://gaps.letour.fr/us.php

And this is an example of how you change the subject of a thread! Sit back and watch....
