You were lucky that you only lost your bike that day it is clear that these guys are willing to shoot an kill.

Possibility these are the same 5 gunmen. https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/cyclist-shot-dead-robbed-of-bike-in-centurion-20211016

This part of Centurion is defiantly a no go area anything west of R55 even behind Mall@reds. Yes nice rural tracks that meander through or close to 3 major informal settlements. You don't jog, ride horse, off road bike/ quad or cycle this area it will only be a matter of time.

Maybe Cradle Moon is a better option safe parking and nice trails. Not sure about Greensleaves side and safety on that road.

Hambini has been reamed more times than Cervelo. Just saying got the info from my hairdresser.

Campy wheels on the Cervelo so maybe campy cassette way more expensive than shimano.

I don't think that it should have a nut like in your pic. They would use a hex bolt or alen bolt and that would be flush with the frame.

I have the sellers contact details in Soshanguve but i drove to go have a look but he was a no show. He did whatsapp a few other pics.

I found this on FB maybe look into this. That seat mount cage seems very close to yours.

Hey, where are you? I have a few if interested for collection in Centurion. Can bring me Smarties.

Cycle lab have a group maybe go in store and ask. Also try LCC and ASG they have group rides.

I have used boiling water to remove a Pinarello post. Never had any problems but that said others have had carbon cracking etc. maybe last option but that would be your call.

Bags don't mess as much when they remove them at airport security.

Maybe bomb it with a co2 cartridge?

If you have slight movement then keep on with the anti seize let it stand longer atleast it's not seized solid

The area by the airfield and dam are a no go. Many people robbed of off road bikes and MTB same gang of 5 even nailing the horse riders.

He Vic, No problem send me a DM.

Hi, I have a few old computers that i will be throwing out. If anyone wants them they are welcome to them Free. Most should just need new batteries buy standing for long so who knows.

Sort of like having a plumber or electrician coming to the house. comes with its own issues making time, someone at home and other arrangements.

Hey, i have this Spez CX tyre laying around. If anybody is in need of a tyre you are welcome to it for free spec as per pic and please only for someone who needs and not going to sell it on. EDIT: Tyre is taken.

In the old days the stickers would sometimes be useful like a chain stay protector or a gel sticker that could reduce cable rub. But i don't think i would want any stickers that were not original rather stay with the minimal clean look.

It's as simple as this.

Nothing wrong with walking away. It's Muppets that didn't that put us into todays situation.

I get you 100% but it is never to late for change. The old one bad apple thingie. A community is only as its member allow it to be. Clean up the community and things start to look better.
