I placed an order for a new Boa. They posted it June 28th, it arrived August 16th

No. I just can't believe people are buying such a basic, heavy bike for 65k

Non aero basic wheels are handlebars and almost 9kg... what's the point

The problem with a budget disc bike is that it will be close to 9kg where you could get a rim brake bike 2kg lighter

Trek website says top model is between R270k and R330k. I think I might start bike-jacking!

I'm not 100% sure on compatibility but you can buy and build your own battery and you may be able to fit a later Di2 derailleur. What groupset do you have, is it the firsyhen with external battery?

MTB and road cages have a different design

This is a really****** up country. Fixed it for you

I have signed the petition but is it realistic to create a cycle lane on that stretch of road that anybody will take any notice of?

It's not just parked cars you need to worry about. Going through Camps Bay people are always jumping out of an Uber while the car is in the road with cyclists flying between the Uber and parked cars

Chew some Mybulen like smarties, will fix your trapped nerve quick quick. Last time I went to a Chiropractor in Sea Point he left me in so much pain, watched me crawl out of his office but emailed the invoice by the time I crawled to the car

Maybe the shorts are too small and are being stretched a bit too much. In other words... maybe your bum is too big?

From the OP's initial post I would guess that he wouldn't know what is vrot and what is not.

The problem is when you go and buy a 2nd hand bike for 35k and then realise it has an issue with a shock or fork or the bearings are shot and then you're immediately in for another 7k and the cassette and chain are on their way out not long after. Before you know it you've spent 45k and this is before you find out if there are any issues with the shock or the dropper of the shifter or the wheels or the BB.

With a MTB definitely buy new
