Jekyll Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 WAs at the expo this evening, same old, same old as last year, parking a bugger as usual. Was looking forward to see the Specialized Stand, seeing that there is a big following of specialized in the Western Cape, but what a let down, 4 or 5 different frames and a few accessories. That's about it. They may as well stayed at "home" as in previous years.Chris Willemse on the other hand, what a great stand. Some awesome expo specials as well and in all, by far the best stand on the expo and great service to the public.Keep it up Chris and Team.Hope all have a great ride on Sunday, and may the force be with you!!!!
Eddy Gordo Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 reall cwc was awesome, by the time I got around there I was so gatvol I just wanted to leave
MariusL Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Evan at 1pm yesterday it was a mission to get parking... I agree "same old same old"...
raptor Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 So no deals on Assos clothing? There is a assos stand, but i dont know if there was any specials running
MariusL Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 So no deals on Assos clothing? The assos stand was run by Melanie from CWC... 10% discount as an opening day special... might be lucky and get dicounts on saturday if they want to move stock...
BlinkFan Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The assos stand was run by Melanie from CWC... 10% discount as an opening day special... might be lucky and get dicounts on saturday if they want to move stock... R1500 shirt down to R1350... still a little out of my price range (Cool shirts though...)
Gobbo Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Thats why I dont do Argus annymore :0Cant justify spending R7500.00 on a 3 hour bike ride And the chaos and admin that you have over the weekend , not worth it any more , my 2c waaaay overated
Big JD Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Have to agree. I am a big Specialized fan and their stand was a major dissapointment, hardly any selection and cyclelab prices. They were selling bottle cages for R220 that the Coimbra stand had identical for R180, with 10% off yesterday! CWC had awesome specials, got myself a good Conti tyre/tube deal and got out of there.
Ratty Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The assos stand was run by Melanie from CWC... 10% discount as an opening day special... might be lucky and get dicounts on saturday if they want to move stock... If they had advertised that a bit better I would have bought another pair of pants. No way was I going to pay more than I can get it online (from a SA shop). Plus, the service wasn't great, I stood around waiting for help and got none and they were not busy.

Gobbo Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Been there done that got the medal and t shirt.Bunches tooo big and to dangerous.If you live in CT well then it is a different story
Marius Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The Cr@ppy Goody Bag was a bit of a let down - The stands were boring and did you see PowerAde jumped on the "lets keep our Prices the same but make bottle size smaller" boat as well, fokit. The can of tuna I got in my Goody bag was oil base, SAY WHAT!??!, OIL BASE!!!!! WTF?! oO, The one thing I enjoyed was the free tests at Medi Clinic and such nice stuff members.
