  1. Bike was sold to someone in Table View acoording to the Eikestad Nuus…. Let me say it the way it is: If you buy stuff from dubious sources here, on Facebook or elsewhere you are complicit to a violent crime and deserve to be in jail…. and dont give that nonsense about “how do you know”….. you know when you know…. jeeesh this makes me angry. (rant over)
  2. Jonkershoek… top of last section of Neverending Story
  3. Be prepared for the heat. February can be extremely hot.
  4. Jonkershoek in Stellenbosch….very safe. But you need to drive there and back to go and ride…. Well worth it though
  5. Insurance issues etc aside…..The salient point for me out of all of this is that there are unscrupulous people among us buying the stuff knowing that something is fishy. Drawing this to its logical conclusion: If you buy something secondhand that is too good to be true you should really search your conscience and consider the fact that you are in all likelihood complicit in a crime…. Theft or possibly much worse. Sad but true.
  6. Stolen bikes only have value to fellow cyclist…. So somewhere in the chain “we” provide a point of off set for these goods. I have wondered about this a lot. Really sorry to hear about your loss.
  7. You can pre arrange meals at Kromrivier. Other than that very few options.
  8. Winter in the Cape…. About par for the course I would say
  9. Coming down in BUCKETS here now…. Tough call…. But the right one
  10. I am seeing my life flash by before my eyes….
  11. What time to do the start this morning?
  12. We will be there for the Paarl race…. But with all due respect: 2pm start on a hot Paarl day is going to be torture. Especially on the northen side of that rock. Not a great idea.
  13. What really frustrates me about this whole safety situation is that the stolen stuff (be it bicycles, parts, equipment) obviously gets circulated amongst “us”. In contrat to other stolen goods (generally speaking), it only has value to fellow cyclists… we need to ask ourselves how we stop that market from existing.
  14. Three generations…. Massive privilege. Enjoy the journey.
  15. I do not agree. Was I brilliant day out. Will be back again! Hot and tough - yes - but well worth the effort.
  16. I can really vouch for the Epic Evo. Previous bike was 150mm travel front and bike. With proper tyres the Evo is as capable. And it climbs so easily. Closest to one bike that can do it all in my opinion. Will work very well there.
  17. Where are these bikes going and if stripped and sold for parts where is the market for those items? There seems to be a lucrative market for these stolen items and/or bikes. Sadly, as long as it can be sold it will be taken. Curious to know where it all ends up….. anyone with more insight perhaps?
  18. Its private land. On Jonkersdrift farm. Unfortunately not accessible currently
  19. I services mine a few times now. Very straight forward and simple. Plenty of videos around showing you the steps.
