Only a matter of time before we move to our house in Simonstown . I suppose you can wait now that you don't have the Trek anymore.
nellie Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Ohhhhhhh ja...forgot that you were moving here. Would be cool to see you peeps more often! But ja true...i have no hang-ups whatsoever with my Orbea's
bored girl Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 Ok so it's been 7 months and some changes have happened. I am quite happy with the way my bike has been progressing It has been achieved mostly by appreciating other people's generocities and 1 BIG THANK YOU here to Jules. The Ultegra, the wheels, the time covered in grease..... So here are a few snaps of what is slowly becomming my baby My new cranks.....belonged to a hubber I believe So shorter, 170mm, carbon and compact..... My Ultegra stuffs..... And as of last night.....my new wheels A few small things could be improved on....like lets say 1inch headset.....or a front Ultegra brake caliper..... Oh and 1 day, when I am big I want to call Cyclearts and maybe make it look something like this: Shiny black with pearly white letteting.....
Spinnekop Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Looks very pretty......!!!Spinnekop2008-06-25 06:54:47
NotSoBigBen Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Very nice! But ...................... you're becoming a real roadie and I'm not sure thats good. Rather put the chain protector back on the Merida ...... Enjoy it!
bored girl Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 Very nice! But ...................... you're becoming a real roadie and I'm not sure thats good. Rather put the chain protector back on the Merida ...... Enjoy it! Hey BBLets explore why..... I was told not to ride alone. 1 safety is an issue and two lets face it not much fun.Then Mr Worry himself goes and becommes a dad AGAIN Must be real fun Plus I haven't seen the notorious Dirt Rider since......um.......well very long time ago. I do as much races as I can but decided this year not to go out of my way like I did last year and just do ones that are closer to home. (just like you're doing) Ok ok with the exception of the race that's coming up next weekend. No more Mintek (where if nothing else I did push up my heart rate and it was off rd). No more Teak races and somehow Babbas is always on the wrong day Been doing Spruit lately Then the bunch of friends that motivates me enough to actually get up in the middle of the night and make an effort preffer rd and concentrate in doing good on that front, so if I want some decent km into my legs I have no other option but to join. So yes.....I am riding lots more on the rd these days. But I am getting my merida back from a service on Sat (hope all would be well there), going for a test ride Sun, then doing Knysna next weekend then Walkerville the weekend after....Quite a bit planned for MTBiking for the next few weeks....who knows I might come back to the light side after that bored girl2008-06-26 03:58:41
NotSoBigBen Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Feeling better now mon ami? But hey I don't mind since I'll see you on both the light and dark side as always ......... BTW that bike is looking cool!

BTW that bike is looking cool! I never felt bad to be feeling better But you only see me when we come visit the south or at Phambili You better be at Walkerville! Hopefully this year I won't crash like an idiot and maybe, just maybe have all my gears to the end of the race
NotSoBigBen Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I'm there at Walkerville for sure and I know you'll be fine! In our backyard so to speak ..... Am really looking forward to it as it is my first race planned since my op. All is going well at the moment so should be fine.
