    710mm bars with a 90mm stem. The bar sits almost right over the front axle. This helps me put a little more weight over the front wheel which allows me more grip on the front. It is a preference thing for me.

    I paid about R5k two years ago.

    Considering the crap I had to go through for them decals? They are going ON like Donkey Kong!!!
  4. The expat cyclist
    Well I never had to provide sizing for decals before so this was not that "obvious". But I am glad to have stepped in it for the sake of all of us!

    Nobody helping me? Oi! Tsk.

    Bike is in for the respray already hence the reason for not having the measurements of the decals. Unfortunately these decals are the one's Tyrone does not have the measurements of.

The downtube one I have but I would appreciate if someone can help me with the 29er decal, the solaris decal and if anyone has a reynolds 853 decal size, it would be appreciated.

    I honestly feel the steel bike is a lot more "chuckable" in the corners - It is like I throw it into the corner and it just sticks. (A lot to do also with tyres and tyre pressures I assume). I also find that I don't feel so sorry for it as with previous carbon bikes - if the frame goes, I just get a new one. Hence my times on a steel bike is comparable to me on a carbon. A lot more forgiving over the rough stuff as opposed to Alu. And lastly I like pitching up at a race and I have something that no one else has (or can buy at a store off the shelf as is.)

    Her name is Isabelle. (Don't ask.)
  22. The expat cyclist
    Ok. So will anyone buy anything now from CS? Shocking!
  23. The expat cyclist
    Was it just me or was this race less flat than what it used to be in the past? Tough little bugger this.

    I haveyordered from evo bikes and so far I am impressed. First order I put in they did not have stock. Second order the same thing. So they gave me a more expensive part at the same price as the original order. And on the second they added two water bottles to the order. For free. I will order more from them in the future.

    BB30 cranks are crap. I had to do more maintenance on the bb30 than with the hollowtech 2 setup.
