    I hope they will sort that out too. Will be chaos for the cycle tour if its not !

    Nice!

    Thanks for the feedback. The service side will be the core of the business! its why we decided to go local. We have more control and faster delivery. We have no control if it was made say in China and how long would the client wait if there was a return or problem that needed to be replaced. Not acceptable when paying a premium price in my opinion!.

    Thank you, that is a very valid point. We are looking at the price structure and it is very tricky. getting to the same level as international brands is very costly, especially importing fabrics etc so thats usually why the prices are the same as the international brands.

  8. Gavster229
    what would you prefer ?

    Unfortunately none that Im happy to hand out from a quality point of view

    Very true ! Luckily a graphic designer actually started it and I think the designs are looking to compete with international brands
  11. Gavster229
    Like the way you think!

    I think the biggest issue I have found so far is the lack of professionalism and lets do this attitude in this country. Most places are wanting you to use there existing templates and half of those are bought in china as blanks. Hoping we can come at this with a new angel Thanks so much for the feedback

    Hi fellow Hubbers. Im busy doing some market research and in desperate need of your opinions. The question I have is what would your new kit purchase be if you had the choice between the big brand names or a very well designed and top quality kit from a local company. In this instance lets assume the price for both were the same. Thanks so much in advance for all your answers. I really really appreciate it. Have a lekker day!

    Hi all, as this is my first 1tonner, I plan on riding Helshoogte tomorrow morning at 6am and then round back to Stellenbosch. The objective is to see what I'm in for and to be mentally prepared for the climb. I would prefer to ride with a few peeps if possible for safety but I realise its very short notice! Route details are below and please PM me if you are keen so we can arrange to meet up at a start point. https://www.strava.com/routes/6822163 (hope the link works) Thanks guys

    Hi guys, I have just purchased my Roadie and keen to cycle with a group for a social and safety perspective. I haven't been cycling for 7 years but training hard and going to ride through winter in training for the Argus. My previous Argus times were around the 3:20 mark if that helps with level of riding ? Im keen to get back to that pace again soon. If you know of anyone around the southern subs, then id be ken to get involved Thanks
