This is the same low-life scumbag that operated out of Plettenberg Bay (theoretically) Cellphone number the same. 071 459 7145 Alfred Samuels (or that was his name last time) Tell Alfred that Inspector Joe Massapous sends his regards http://www.thehubsa....f-mr-alfred-co/

..hence my comment

I'm certainly not volunteering to go looking for it.

That's known as the Kulubuse Bicycle, if I'm not mistaken?

It's not a new idea.

Enjoy the skydives!

Sounds like a job for Inspector Joe Massapous again. Forkers! (In the ANCYL sense)

@ Dawid, This was the original motivation for the PA Dikwiel Kommando: http://samilitaryhis...g/vol041dm.html @OP: Nice thread, is that a Farmall M ?

In those days the Buffalo Soldiers were the likes of Sir Redvers General Buller (described as a "fat and stupid man") So they were more likely Clydesdales than Buffalo

Jy van alle mense! I'll dig up the long version of the story, very interesting reading.

No, Strava is a whole lot of tools.

Flat pedals and ordinary shoes?

Singlespeedguy will be right there with you..... : )

There's a fair amount of sand, but it might be a plan on something like Niner's RLT. Then again, the corrugations on stages 4 and 5 are visible on Google Earth, so a rigid front end might be challenging.......

We had a hard but enjoyable ride, finished in 22h21m22s which was appropriate for a race that started on Friday the 13th in 2013 The organization on the Dash is very slick, making for a smooth event all round. Sadly, I won't be there next year as I'll be working, so there's one more slot available. To anybody who hasn't done it yet, my advice is go and do it.

Made some years ago and I learned that there's a good reason belts are generally made of leather. That said, I like the idea of re-using the tyres.

how far are you going?

enjoy the Ride!

They have a history of this, which is why I would never buy anything with the Specialized brand.

Oops

Strip it carefully. Once you have all the gubbins out, take them to a bearing/seal place and chances are good you'll find replacements. "If I can't fix it, I don't want it" Good luck.

It doesn't matter if the stickers are fake, but if the carbon is fake.......or if the carbon veneer is fake.....

Whatever happened to 'houding" ?
