Yang Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the guys at Bowman's for their persistence under difficult circumstances, with dozens of clamouring customers on Saturday, to fix a temperamental Campag FD on my bike. After several finetunings, including the straightening of the dropout, my little lady was tamed, picking up and dropping that chain sweetly. Thanks for the attention guys. I know here to go when I'm back next year, if I need help. A bonus was the naked bike ride which came right past the shop while on a test round.
intern Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Nice one Yang. I trust there were no white saddles on that naked bike ride? (certainly not after it...)
Yang Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Tell you what, about that naked bike ride. I'm sitting here at my laptop shaking my head. I still can't believe that I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to join in a naked bike ride, and I didn't take it. Been there, done that, anything goes stuff. Seriously, dam it!
VeloRacer Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Rafeeq at Bowmans is very helpful Always willing to sort out the problems.
splat Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Its been a while since I heard anyone talk about Bowman's in a complimentary tone. Is Shan still there?
VeloRacer Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Shan and his wife are still the owners of Bowmans.
headhunter Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Its been a while since I heard anyone talk about Bowman's in a complimentary tone. Is Shan still there? I can only comment on Rafeeq's service, and he is brilliant IMO. My bike is there now having Argus crash damage assessment for insurance. Rafeeq is brilliant with SRAM set ups and is the only guy I will use. Edited March 16, 2011 by headhunter

udxcob Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Jikes, Full Dynamix, the one he snapped in half in paarl........
Rushdee Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Rafeeq always makes a plan. I know he's done so for me whenever I've walked in. Reasonable prices too.
