  1. I would say an ideal commuter like the likes of the Honda NC700X, but then you have only have a commuter - id recommend getting a Honda CBR 600 - its a superbike that's a riders bike, easy to ride and can be used for commuting no problem with then still having the option of giving it a bit of stick and using for fun on the odd weekend
  2. Will never forget my RVF 400 - used to rev up like no other and was a great little bike to throw around. Only problem I ever had with it was that I grew too tall for the it seems short man set up on the bike. Passed it onto my old man and he loved it! We got the bike on 16 or so thousand kms and sold it having looked after it jolly well on 86000km's.
  3. In the instance I was referring to I was in mail communication, PM communication to the one he replied to and not cell as there was no number on his add and I asked and asked for his and never got it. In the wheels deal I have called, left voicemail, sms'ed saying ill take them - please sell them to me and got a few uninterested replies. Guess sellers have the right to be picky, but maybe just have the decency to let a buyer know.
  4. I apologise in advance if its already been mentioned - but what about sellers wasting buyers time? Whole new topic I know - but lately I have been spending a lot more time on the hub in the search for specific parts and items. When they have popped up - iv been in immediate contact with the seller replying maybe once or not at all. Then next minute its sold and you just hear nothing? Where is the common decency in the selling department? In one case which I can name and shame cause it irritated me so much - hubber Russmuss selling a Specialized Fate which I then got into contact with assured me its mine only to then not reply and the bike disappears from the classifieds. This add had plenty interest from the word go but I had offered the seller R3000 more then his asking cause I needed it that bad. Another could possibly come up with a set of wheels im interested in. Lets see. Just disappointing really.
  5. 1*11 wins any day! Such simplicity and works so very efficiently. Can only recommend it!
  6. Honestly never believed the extra cost for the Assos could be justified, cause thought my Spez were comfy as ever - until I got a pair on sale and never looked back!
  7. All as safe as houses! Would buy the last one - mille
  8. You cant compare any to Assos on longer ride comfort! They are heaven for any ass!
  9. Seems like you just had unbelievably bad luck with the Spez bibs - ridden with them for years and no such problem! Have assos as well which you just cant go wrong with!
  10. Nope, I don't see anything on those stanchions either. Would be worried about that fancy fork being damaged
  11. If these are the 2015 Epic's are they any different to the 2014? Besides paint? 2014 upgrades and frame changes were instantly noticeable and vast improvements - what are they for 2015?
  12. Could very well place a premium on the top model when as you say it is seen as winning races that often. 4 out of the 6 podium places in the recent marathon championships at cascades were on them....
  13. Agreed - potentially a disaster waiting to happen!
  14. Wonder why they made the guys version as such in the bright pink then then again not seen many ladies riding the era version - majority on the epic.
  15. So the females don't get two bottles cages - like that its a dual sus with two cages in the frame!
  16. Is the first pic on the thread the new 2015 world cup model and the rest of the pics posted the standard epic? Cause why has the first pic not got that extra carbon piece on the frame just above the rear shock?
  17. Ariane had a mechanical which set her right back - she was in big tears at the end!

    Surprised riders able to hold onto handlebars with those gloves
  19. keen! What does it cost?
  20. Easily! The mans incredible!
  21. Called LBS yesterday who told me that Ultra Race have the same protection at the gatorskin and are a fraction of the price, true or false?
  22. Couldnt be more right! she was riding full XT 2 * 10! Couldnt believe it!
