[Review: 2021 Specialized S-Works Epic Evo]

This has my name all over it. 

[Does this seem a bit a far fetched?]

I see they have updated the add, they removed the ‘R80000’ value of the bike

[Does this seem a bit a far fetched?]

Read that wrong the first time

a simple mistake of an ‘a’ or an ‘o’....either a fantastic end to a date or an abrupt end to a date

[Does this seem a bit a far fetched?]

Looks like something called Ecotron

 

Not trying to ruin anyone’s livelihood in these trying times but Somebody is being rimmed or mislead

[Does this seem a bit a far fetched?]

This popped up on my Facebook feed today. 
 

Even for an ebike this seems very very overpriced 

[Is selling on the classifieds becoming more difficult?]

There is still hope for the classifieds here...Facebook is always good for a laugh

[Introducing Bike Hub Plus]

BikeHub Branded masks with a yellow seam

????????

[Introducing Bike Hub Plus]

Do we have to ride with a mask if we plus members?

[Races a thing of the past...... for now at least]

Still training for the Sani December edition.....

Myself...holding off on pulling the trigger on the entry until next month but I think realistically it’s the only stage race that has potential for this year

[Decent cycling podcasts?]

https://crushingiron.com/podcasts/

 

It’s a triathlon focused podcast but they great guys, easy going, down to earth coaches

[SA may be getting new rules on what qualifies as a bicycle – with big implications for e-bikes]

None of my bikes go over 25km/h so I’m safe...

[Work of Art Bike = Bike of Artwork]

Awesome post, thanks sharing and inspiring.

[Sufferfest vs Zwift vs Fulgaz]

+1 TrainerRoad for structured training.

zwift and Rouvy I use for long rides and for a change up.

[First time restorer needs some guidance.]

Hi Plse can u assist . whereabouts did u buy collect bike from asking as a mates moms identical bike was stolen in Durban recently

Hi, was bought from a Facebook add in Pretoria. I did check the stolen bikes listed here before making payment

[Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors]

Apologies if this has already been discussed 7000 times but does any of you clever okes know if point 3 indicates we are still not allowed to travel to cycling parks/ meeting points? 
 

I want to travel to the Cradle from PTA but this still seems to be  no-go. 

[Fox Racing SA and Zando]

Yip bought from them 2 weeks back, got the stuff in about 5 day

[First time restorer needs some guidance.]

I've got some video's on youtube you can take a look at that will assist you. Just search on Buffs Vintage Bikes.

Certainly worth restoring and enjoying, most Bianchi's retain their prices well

I found your videos last night got them lined up to watch

[Are cyclist just too superior to keep their masks/buffs on]

When I ride, run, walk I wear a mask. When there is nobody around I take it down, when I approach people or people approach me I pull it up. Why? Because that’s the law and I was was raised to respect the law regardless of if I believe it to be convenient or not. 
 

I live and train in Equestria, Pretoria East. It’s been a dog show since the level 4 started, there so many people in groups training you could easily mistake it for a batch start at an event! 
 

these posts come up daily on Facebook and on here and has been discussed to death under another thread.
 

end of the day if people are not going to listen to the law then there is no way they going to listen to some stranger b!Tching on Facebook or on some cycling forum. 
 

Not trying to be a d!ck to the OP,  believe me, we all see what’s going on, it doesn’t need to be pointed out to us every day. 

 

Do what you know is right. 

[First time restorer needs some guidance.]

I found this Bianchi M Alloy Pro On gumtree and took delivery today. I believe it’s a 2003 model? 

 

For the year it doesn’t look like it’s done huge mileage but there are a few things I need to sort out. 

 

The guy I bought it from was from Malawi and had just learnt to ride. 

Told me it makes a grinding noise when you pedal....obvious issue with how the chain had been threaded and that seat keeps falling backwards...due to the backward and loose seat post

 

My plan is to get this beaut back to its former glory but I don’t want to drop silly money on it. 

 

The clear coat has lots of these little cracks in it and there is some paint fade in some areas.  

- what is the best way to get some shine and original color back to this frame? Would it need to be completely re-sprayed or will a very fine sanding and re-spraying of the clear coat work?  I want to keep it as original as possible so not really keen to go the complete respray route.  

 

Apart from that it looks like I just need to find a campy front mech and put some bar tape on.

 

is this worth spending money on or are there loads of them around? 

 

[Are cyclist just too superior to keep their masks/buffs on]

YAWN!!

[Do I restore it or turn it into a Gravel bike?]

Thanks guys, I think it’s going to be the restored and ride project.

[Do I restore it or turn it into a Gravel bike?]

I’m taking delivery of this Bianchi M Alloy Pro tomorrow. I believe it’s a 2003 model.

 

I’m itching to build up a gravel bike and wondering if this will be a good project or would it be better to restore it back to some sort of it’s former glory.

 

It’s has a Campy Veloce groupset, which needs some work I believe.

 

Is this old enough to be considered a classic and if so is it worth restoring?

[Coffee machine]

Anyone using one of these littles guys?

[Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors]

Are people genuinely that obsessed with comparing themselves to others?

Have you not heard of Facebook

[Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors]

Looks like we back to normal on the outside exercise part, with masks obviously
