  1. wheels also make a huge difference Put those carbon wheels on your old bike and it is a different bike...
  2. Haha. No man. Your 28-11 compact crank will be fine. Our no 6 had a 25 rear and 39 front.
  3. I quote our number 6 rider last year. Those climbs in Golden gate makes the Double century at Swellendam looks like a joke man....
  4. After you sold the item, reply to the few guys who enquired but disappeared : Hi just want to let you know, the items has been sold. Struggled to get my price and settled for 40% of asking price just to get rid of it. The second hand market for cycling stuff is really dead. Chears
  5. Thinking of selling my 'Argus bike' after the 'Argus'. Will keep an eye on the classifies for a '94.7 Ready bike'...
  6. .1 The person wanting it, but cant really afford it If he know its been sold, the "desire" will not haunt him anymore...
  7. Now that is what I call trust!
  8. quote of the day!!!!!!!!!!
  9. With this wind I am reading of on the other tread ...thinking of the Idea to take my Gravel / Monster bike also. Much heavier than my road bike and the 2.25 tyres on lower pressure will handle so much better in the wind If the wind continue like this, I belief a lot of sub 3 dreams will be shattered again
  10. Well done Juan. Go and make Bloemfontein and South Africa proud!
  11. A few years back I saw this Pinarello Prince frame on Gumtree. That was before the fakes from China. I really wanted it. I phoned the guy. His name was Mohamed. Somewhere from Johannesburg. Me from Bloemfontein. I called him a few times, as I really wanted it badly. The last time I spoke to him, I asked him : how do I know you are not n "crook"8? He just said ( will never forget this) " you just need to trust me..." So I decided, lets take a chance. I paid him the full amount... U The next day he called me, and said one of his truck drivers is on his way to Bloemfontein and brining the frame with. I need to meet this guy 23h00 at the back of a Spur,where he will sleep in his truck for the night. I asked my friend to accompany me, but he said: "jy is sekker mal!" So i went alone... and now for the best part: It turns out one of the best deals ever. got the frame one day after i paid for it exactly as described by seller serial no confirmed with ASG / non stolen. If i think back, i was really stupid! Will i take such chance again? NEVER!!!!!
  12. I remember Spoke101 got last year in $ at last minute, but bet if he could turn back the clock he would stayed in his original group...referring to that HUGE crash in $ at Hospital bend last year which he was also involved in
  13. The thing I like most of Jens is that he is just as tall as me... so riding the same size bike as me... eish that Trek Madone 9.9 in the background...for sure my dream bike...lol
  14. mmmm So deep section wheels (60mm) or not?.....
  15. or just get it from here... I saw one of these actually (was fitted on one of my DC team mate's bike) and quit impressive ceramic bearings and all https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DECKAS-Road-bicycle-rear-derailleur-pulleys-Steel-bearing-jockey-wheels-15T-15T-Use-SHIMANO-RD-9000/32785588502.html?spm=2114.01010208.6.2.8E1l0Q&s=p
  16. Really an awesome bike for the price. super stiff and fast
  17. Wheels not new, but bought the bike recently.
  18. Did it last year for the first time - was really great - for sure doing it again this year. I sat on the wheels of three guys wearing Pure Savage kit (if I remembered correctly) most of the way - they were just going a lekker pace
  19. if I see NAD, first thing I think of is High end audio equipment (hifi's) and yes I know it standing for New Africa Developments here
  20. They we will. But these people keep placing us in the wrong starting groups man ...
