Hi Folkes, new here hence a small intro:

I have been cycling on the 26 Nishiki Nouva for more than 12 years - nothing too serious.

A decision was made to revamp the cycle and give it small upgrades:

 

Paint and parts stripped to bare metal:

Result:

Although this is a good all rounder here in town, I am looking at refreshing this cycle and start cycling more seriously.

I am sure to learn lots about it from all you good people.

 

Frikkie

Yes welcome Stretch. I have heard some people choose jogging on roads over mountain biking. Crazy thought hey. If you ever need help, like which way must I turn the pedals, how do I pump up tyres, etc. Please give me a call.

After 3000 odd posts ... I think its high time I introduce myself ...

 

The names, Nige. I am a geologist and in my spare time run the KZNMTB Enduro and DH series with my colleagues DaveD and Morne Odendaal.

 

My wife and I ride XCO, Enduro and DH together ... used to do do XCM but its got too oversubscribed ... So we now just enjoy trail riding ... and doing skids and buckjumps.

we are all noobs to the noobs ...

 

Actually the first time I have seen you post NIge

 

Where do you usually hang out? Spruit threads? CRC threads?

Spruit? .. whats that?  :ph34r:

 

No - generally on the gravity side ... as I am the DH Commissioner on KZNMTB's Commission. 

So its mostly on our KZN series posts etc.

And then all the news articles about the series.

 

So I guess you dont read many of the aticles relating to Enduro or DH then ....  :whistling:  :P  ... especially not the KZN ones. hahaha
