The exchange rate isn't doing us any favours at the moment, but we have a "make the best of it" plan in place to help with that.
Change your location on your profile as your travels progress... This way we can see where you are more or less... That would be nice...
Oops, that sounded like an order...
Sorry... 
I'm not doing the Argus.... 
Love this bike. Have a set of Crest with Hope hubs that I drool over but promised myself I will only use them when I get to my ideal weight...as a bonus
This Bike is really gorgeous... That colour scheme, is well complimented.. Nice...
I am in the process of slowly getting the pool sorted at our new place.
I have left the sand as the last task due to the fact that I wasn't going to replace sand before getting rid of all the algae.
I've done this before at my MIL's place and it's a hellava job to scoop out the sand with a little tin or cup or whatever
The local pool guy wants to smoke me R900 to change the sand (the sand works out at around R400 for 4 bags)
I've read that a workshop vacuum makes the job easier, but i doubt my wife will appreciate me using her big green clean machine to suck up some sand.
Does anyone have any short cuts/ tips?
Hire a vacuum from Hire It or the likes.... Sure it won't cost more than R200 for the day?
Prepsol works a charm as a few have already stated.... I use a bucket, drop cassette, chain, crank and pedals and spray full prepsol and allow to soak.... Use a pot scrubbing brush for cassette and Crank and toothbrush for those hard to reach places....
Used clean green before, Prepsol cheaper and and more effective in my opinion....

Double post
I haven't read through all the posts made here, and I apologies if this has already been mentioned but:
To me, if you are really interested dial the number, if posted by the seller, and make arrangements (proper arrangements).
Also, give him (the seller) options to the sale, if you do not meet him at stipulated time then he should sell to next in line, but please do not keep the poor seller on the line, hoping he has a sale at the end of the day, when all in all it's a dud (it's frustrating).
my 2c.
Or you get someone telling you dibs and then just doesn't bother letting you know that they not interested anymore...
Someone begged me to hold an item for them for a week, only for me never to hear from again, lucky for me that the second guy interested was still interested a week later....
First one to pay gets the item, i'm not interested in Dibs....

What?! Where?
That's why it's in progress, and not a new build. Keen to come by and sponsor the finishing touches?
Sure why not, like my dad always said "when the ship comes in" ..... 
My new build in progress sitting comfortably.
Missing a couple of components there Claudio.... 
PS. We have a couch
But there's no bike on or near it??? What's up with that?
Just to add, Jeremy actually bought his own bike which was discussed in last season airing.... Riachard also still made fun of him with a parody photograph of an Orangutan on a tricycle saying it was Jeremy....
For thos Top Gear Nutters like myself, James, Richard and especially Jeremy, they have this whatever/I don't care attitude....
In addition, they are always taking the p!ss on the comments made by their fan mail.... Whereby some writer will write in complaining about a previous epsiode and when that happens, the sarcasm flows out of the screen like a river with these guys...
So whoever says what about the "cyclist vs motorist" against the message they trying to get across, they will finds some way of adding humour in their responses....
Loving the prompt replies, from Hubbers and EB. Thank you, everyone!
I'll forward my Order number to your email addresses in a moment.
Yip, as all stated, My order also said still processin on the expected delivery date, and low and behold, parcel on my desk before the Order comments were updated... Easy Bike are a good example of excellent service providers in SA. Under Promised, Over Delivered...

Epic Carbon? Did they make Epic Road Bikes too, with XTR Groupset (ok I didn't read the entire ad)?? But Seriously, is he smoking something?
WTF are they really smoking.... Yoh!!!! This should be less than a grand at most....
World's First 3D Printed Bike
Without doubt, the most interesting bike at this weekend’s London Bike Show is Empire’s 3D printed titanium trail bike. Based on the brand’s innovative 6in-travel aluminium MX6, the titanium prototype is a collaboration with additive manufacturing firmRenishaw and was built in the UK. We spoke to Empire’s Chris Williams about the project, and about 3D printing’s likely role in the future of the bike industry.
This is an intersting read.....

Doesn't your weight have anything to do with it? Surely a heavier oke will use more travel doing the same drops as you??
