  1. Have you got your Fuji yet? Love my Fuji bikes. Here's my road Fuji. Beats any other brand I have ridden. Personal choice I guess
  2. Ha. No raptor, too unfit for that. Work in progress
  3. Bought this to try stay out of this crazy Cape Town wind
  4. if Im not under correction my Hanson also had "super prestige" written on it as I think Gotty and Francois worked together building bikes back in the day. Francois is still a master frame builder down here in Durbanville and a very busy man so wouldnt be surprised if he is taking a break. I know he follows me on Facebook so you might be able to contact him via that channel if his available. Great frame you have there a truelly proudly SA product
  5. Anyone going to ride from tableview? Me and a mate are leaving tableview at around 7:45
  6. My 2 cents about this topic and other input. I was hired by some teams and corporates to take some images so I was in the thick of it. I am not a tittle tale so NO Team names will be mentioned but there were plenty of teams crossing the line and when I upload the images onto my facebook page, I will make sure not to expose anyone as its not my place. Now on the support vehicles...utter shock! Every time I passed a team I use the right hand side yellow lane and honk my horn as far back as 20m as I approached the teams and when going past but some support vehicles were flying past the teams at high speed without letting them know they were passing so they catch back up with their team. Saw a support vehicle crest a rise while passing a team just to run a approaching vehicle off the road to avoid a head on collision. Another had to push his way into a large group of teams cause he miss judged a opening when a truck approached. Yes 202km is long but if the teams can do the first half without them then why cant they do the 2nd half without them and just have feeding zones?
  7. Phew there its been said...been holding that in for a while
  8. Malcolm was riding with a few corporate riders
  9. Ready to Roll! Come say Hi if you have time.
  10. Did the mtb race in 2009/2010 and said never again cs of the litter and bottle neck. A shame this has not been seen to yet.
  11. Simon at head of the race with those massive calfs
  12. Shu thank goodness you kept Cycling tips logo there. Dave is haaardcore when it comes to copying his images. He will hunt you down
  13. Lots of mud and saw a few broken bikes. Hopefully will be a bit dryer this coming weekend
  14. yes yes, I know what comes after this. But who hasnt picked up a container truck from paardeneiland to Milnerton or Tableview before? Generally you dont sit right on the bumper of the truck as the draft is big enough to sit 2-3m back and have enough time to brake. Problem is you never know if you going to hit that pot hole or half a brick in the road
  15. Page 2000...Alot's been said here
  16. No jelousy meant. Taking shots of the Tour just happens to be my job thrown in with a bit of a holiday and boat loads of fun
  17. Super excited! And then for the next 2 weeks I will be researching, Google earthing and booking for another of the Worlds greatest bike race. Just hope it will be a bit more exciting than this years race

    KILLARNEY 9.10.13

    seen a couple of videos already from a gopro at killarney but its still awsome to watch. Tip: buy a gimble for it and will look even better in the vids ; )

  20. Like the 2 tossers yesterday riding next to each other on marine drive towards town when theres a perfect cycle lane opposite side of the road
  21. Koeberg yesterday afternoon. Flowers in full bloom
  22. Just came across this now and I am so pleased to hear you and Jeanne got funding. Spending time at the track and talking to all the riders, it is really a tight knit family these guys & girls and they deserve to be at the games. As Rusty said there are more out there that need the funding and just dont have the means to raise that type of money by themselves. To all that have donated, I salute you. All those who want to but think they dont have extra to share, even R20 will go a long way. Like the profile pic by the way Rusty
