You talking about Gary?

?? -OP said 1km north of Fratellis.

That's what I was thinking... A mate of mine broke his back there a few years back (3 I think) He has recovered- but will never ride a bike again. Dr said any slight bump in the wrong spot could cause permanent paralysis...

Hey- Wolverine- don't come here and hijack threads!!!

That's what I asked- maybe old parks? Maybe he means that concrete bridge over the river?

What school?

Forget him - Who is the hottie?

You lost me at ..."In the instructions..."

First thing that came to mind was our wonderful ANC government... They have the resources to get us out of this hole, but they are busy destroying everything....

That's hot- guys dig chicks with sports injuries

Ivo & Dangle - always smiling... A proper LBS imo...

Why do you need a saddle????

If I'm not mistaken the Spez shoes use that tool. I have one in JHB... What about stopping in at a Spez concept store with the shoe and asking if the tool is the same...?

PG Carbon are fantastic- I just some work done with them and it was perfect. Paul has now done two bikes for me and they have not given one days problem. He also repaired a carbon Mtb wheel- no issues... Excellent workmanship and decent pricing- can't ask for better than that. They are in Benoni, but I think they can make arrangements to collect... I will get the # for you

Haha- I see the OP liked your comment, yet no pictures posted... Unless she Pm'd them to you???

Shame man- what a way to go... My sincere condolences to his friends and family.

Hahaha- good luck!!

I am going to do a chilled/ mess around spruit ride at 15:00/ 15:30 starting emmarentia side. Might go to gardens, alberts, delta, fratelies. Anyone keen to join?

For a newbie i'd recommend setting your budget and then looking here to see what you can pick up in that budget. There are various factors to consider when buying your bike(s)- but it's a bottomless pit of fun ( and destroys your bank balance). So find something you can learn on and them upgrade from there... I started on a Schwinn Mesa (R3000) and for that period of time it was perfect. Now I have a few in the stable and I love them all

The Braamfontein Spruit. Runs from Emmarentia to Witkoppen rd in Sunninghill (or the other way round). Safer area is the Emmarentia to Fratellis (Blairgowrie) section. As a newbie I wouldn't reccomend riding it alone. You can also incorporate Alberts Farm and Delta Park into the 'Spruit' ride.

It was really good route this year- the berms and jumps very fun and the scout area was a very nice addition. Well done to all the organizers involved!! @Pieter1 - why were you jogging on the last lap? We're you not buggered enough fron doing solo SS?

Thanks SteveS! True- but hitting the jump would've made it look cooler

I think I need to book you for an hour to get some pointers ... Just not tomorrow

Hey guys- did a sneaky delta ride tonight... The route is awesome, some nice jumps! Only one I didn't do was the 'logs' jumps ( one day when I'm big) Tomorrow is going to be super- if anyone is looking for a last minute ride tomorrow - line entries are still on...
