OK .... ggza ... I have a Mongoose Black Diamond for you to use ... (or if Grebel wusses out you can use the wheeler) ...

In any case I have bikes for both of you!

 

OK so the jury is back and the bad news is that I won't be participating (this time) at Ricos :(...... so the Wheeler is all yours ggza :w00t: :thumbup: (don't get too attached though :angry: :lol: )

 

The good news is that I will be there as a spectator (with kids in tow) to offer my support to ggza and pierremerv!! I'll be standing at the roadgap watching the action!! Unfortunately my wife has booked some downtime with her sister in JHB so I will be daddy daycare for the weekend! Looking forward to showing my boys the awesome world that is DH MTB'ing.

 

@ Nige, I am still running on adrenaline from the last outing and I can't wait to get back on the hills to test my skills (Free time is at a premium when there is family and kids involved unfortunately). I may have gotten my hands on an MX lid (Might be a bit small though) and am plotting to borrow some pads. Might have to drop into Startline and see if there is anything on the sale rack as far as clothing goes...

how old are the lighties? I know of a 24inch Kona Stinky DH for sale too... get them on the hill as well ... they will probably teach you a thing or 2 after 2 runs ... hahaha

Grebel, thanks for the offer, but as Nige says, I still need to strip the forks. So will mail them saturday. Shot again though! Glad they can get some mud on them, as opposed to dust in tha garage

 

I'm heading down for the Cromley's/Rico's race on the 8th...

Happy to give the lowers a ride down then if you like.

2 and 11. I reckon in a few years the little one will definitely be a force to be reckoned with... He's already been OTB (properly) on his plastic scooter when he headed off down the driveway and connected the wall at the bottom. Tears, a bit of a dusting off, dad kissed it better and he was off after his brother again!

Unfortunately it may need both. The seals are pretty shot. Hence the scratches stancions the fork had on it.
