Dankie; daai Lezyne Flow bottle cages wat jy voorgestel het werk bitter lekker!

Testing out the new wheels.... Quite like them, and the braking seems really decent too as a bonus!

Wordpress?

Seems like a decent idea mind you. 2.5mm is really nothing; just bend the saddle to even the legs out that little bit and you'll be golden????????

Not as far as I'm aware no. Lightbicycle's rims are tubeless ready though. https://www.lightbicycle.com/carbon-road-bike

My wheels have arrived back from JHB!!! I am really excited, especially to get them out on the road... The build consists of the Chinese 454 rims as per the last page, built up around Rapide hubs with Pillar brass nipples and Alpina bladed spokes. Weight including rim tape comes in at 850g for the rear wheel and 725g for the front. 1575g in total is not too bad I don't think... Cost breakdown for those interested: Rims+Fedex: $330x17.19(today's rate) + R378.37 clearance fee = R6051.07 Rapide Hubset(R1360) + R800 for a Campy freebody = R2160 Courier costs = 441.75 Wheel build; spokes; nipples = R2615.27 Total: R 11 268.09 Pitchas: OCD exhibit A: See, when the bicycle is in 'picture mode' ie. valves at 6 o'clock, the branding on the hub is visible....

You could even negotiate a grand or two off the 21K I'm sure..... The difference is though: The spez has COMPLETED AN EPIC BRAAAAAAA

I also prefer his earlier stuff, before the move to 'Murica etc.....

Not strictly lockdown related, but DAMN!!!! https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/408624/mercer-road-campagnolo

You know what I really miss about city life? Just being able to go out any time and getting a soft-serve chocolate ice cream. We don't have that out here in the sticks. Enjoy one for my part...

The bike is BRAND NEW!!!!" Edit: Seriously, there must be a secret society getting together somewhere discussing how to describe second-hand bikes and then posting it here! https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/397952/silverback-size-s-brand-new "Bought 3 years ago but used less than 20 times. Brand new, just been serviced."

First ride outside since before lockdown. Kinda nice to be outside again! No need to wear a mask.....

Ja dis ook weer waar... Mens waardeer nie altyd wat jy het nie....

As much as I'm not really a fan of CPT, I am more often than not jealous of the scenic riding you guys get to do!

Ag moenie onnodig wees nie man. It's "like brand new"

Well consider what some of their bikes cost...https://www.specialized.com/za/en/shop/bikes/turbo-e-bikes/e-mountain-bikes/turbo-levo/c/eturbolevo?q=%3Aprice-desc%3Aarchived%3Afalse%3AproductFamily%3ATurbo+Levo+SL All of a sudden 9.5K for a saddle ain't that bad...

Uhmmmmm...I'm pretty sure that's the way it already works... No need to "demand".
