DHL is not cheap Seeing how many has come onto this thread waiting for the boa's makes one think - are these boa's of inferior quality that so many needs replacement - have we totally abused the system, that forced them to look at cheaper option as such now using cheaper shipping methods

What a story it would make if he makes it to ride and wins.

this is my theory too... there's a huge chain for stolen goods not just bikes... not restricted or limited in the order below, but here's my view - the guys that steal or rob does the deed (R200-2000) - this then moves to a drug/reward point (R2000-5000) - at the drug/reward these guys are well connected, and as such have various "chains" for which category of stolen goods go where... in our case bikes (R2000-10000) - this is where the bike then goes to an "expert" in moist cases as Cappi's post the bikes are stripped and the frames are sold for chips on/in the street... the parts are filtered through and sold in the 2nd hand market, my guess a huge number of them are sold here on bikehub (R+) I've had 2 bikes taken out of my stable, one was at the Die Burger stolen off the rack many many moons ago, the other i was robbed. the both followed a similar pattern. The one bike we got back, with zero help from the SAPS... except we bought them back. The other i chased until before my bike moved into the 3rd point on my list... at this stage it got ugly (if anyone knows anything about cowboy and ghetto town in hanover park), i backed off and got a payout from the insurance.

OP : What happens with high end stolen bikes Everyone : Insurance

I have no value to add, except that the ignore function works wonders... #justsaying

@babse there's your reason for the 403 Forbidden

Out to Cape Point and back yesterday... Flip forgot how hard it is... Also what's a Sunday without rain the last month or so in Cape Town

was never a fan until i seen Yates bike in the tour... actually quite like it enjoy!!

hubs as well?

not Jonas just being better (prepared physically and mentally) and having a stronger team collectively ? i think it was mentioned earlier, JV made the call in Dec last year they'll stay on the TT bike. This shows you that for Jonas and the team it was all about winning the TDF. Pogacar has had an amazing season before his crash, winning some of the classics and then still to be 2nd at TDF. I(MO) just think Jonas is better and such in yellow

You must be fun at party's

+1

am i the only one who come back and read the last few pages, confused AF

3 proper likable guys in 3 different teams... no it can't be... life is hard enough as it is

This aged well

looking at my routes to work

🤔

He looked pretty empty after today... Jonas takes another mental boost (in my uneducated opinion) These 2 boys are machines... Beautiful to watch

that's cheating isn't it? 🤠

his range is growing
