    I work in the tyre industry. General markup is around 25% expensive tyres like Michelin and BFgoodridge is around 15%. We have seen several price increases from Supliers after covid started. Some tyres now cost us more than what we use to sell it for.

    My biggest issue is the drivetrain wear and then the guys in their Hilux and Rangers bakkies racing past you!

    I have skipped the last 2 days commute. It has been really misty the last 2 mornings,and I have just not felt like cleaning bike everyday. The mist and dust from 8km gravel, forms a layer of dirt, that gets in everywhere. Here is a pic this morning from the car!

    Have my eye on this one. Keep us updated on how it rides.

    Please keep us updated on the ride. I have my eye on one of those frames. Will however only happen later in the year or early next year. Ps referring to the Rapide Tigre frame and build.

    Feels like forever since I have done a ride that is not a commute. Did a PPCC club ride yesterday, in the Polokwane game reserve. I then did a second loop in the reserve, solo, to make it my first century ride since 2019. My body can feel it this morning.

    Keeping an eye on this, thinking about doing something similar soon. Enjoy the process.

    Winter definitely on it's way. Need a light to complete my evening commute. Was home by 18:10 tonight and it was dark. Still beats sitting in a car!

    I may look at something like this for my commuter bike. Lots of miles in often dusty conditions and not always time to keep it In tip top shape. Let's see pricing when it lands here.

    Would probably give Mercer a shout. Not sure if it would be a 120mm hardtail or a gravel bike that can run up to 2.1 29er tyres for those bad gravel roads.

    Go for it!

    This year has been a struggle to get into routine. Between all the rain and workload I picked up a few kilos. The worst fitness I have been in since 2014. Took the bike today. First time this week. Can feel I have been slacking. Have a good day all.

    I need to sell my son. All my money currently going into his studies! Lucky for him I love him and he is doing well!

    I love this bike, maybe 1day when I'm big!!!

    Very frustrating, was looking to buy an item. Emailed and dm seller a couple of times. Only after 2 weeks got a single reply that item was sold. As said above surely check your mail and DM's if you are selling something!
