Looks like the tracking is just glitchy...

For the 2012 Absa Cape Epic Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander have had customed paintede songo.info Specialized S-Works Epic 29inch bikes made for specifically for the Absa Cape Epic branded in the songo.info colours.

Throughout the duration of the 2012 Absa Cape Epic, from Monday 26 March until 01 April 2012 closing at 17h00, we will be auctioning the bikes where all the proceeds will be going to the songo.info foundation.

BUT.... if you want the bike so badly, make an offer of R200 000 and the bike is yours and the bidding is closed immediately!

This is a very unique opportunity to own a customed painted top of the ranged Specialized S-Works as ridden by our world champions, Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander.

The full suspension carbon fibre bikes are unique, only 2 of a kind, that will be ridden by these world champs in the 2012 Absa Cape Epic. The bikes are the top of the range S-Works Epic, the first 29ner to win the World Cup. The bikes are kitted out with SRAM XX component group. Christoph frame size is large and Burry is a medium.

Ja what the hell why not stop racing now !!! :thumbdown: So what you two are saying is there is no hope in hell so why bother ?

Jeez DR, don't be such a sourpuss. I would like to earn a million smackers today but that is not going to happen. Should I go home, veg on the couch and feel sorry for myself then?

 

Don't get me wrong - I was rooting for 360Life from the start and after watching Epic Tale I was full of hope that we'll see them win the race. The poor buggers were dogged by bad luck on the first stage. I feel really sorry for them, but, realistically speaking, their race for the podium is over. That is all I'm saying...
