lloydkayak Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Ok.... dilema of the commuter bike solved. I want a Giant Escape 2 Price is around R3500 and is 100% what I want and in stock with Dragon Sports! Apparantly Bridge Cycles is out I went there the other day in any case and was pretty disappointed in their "Cajees" type vibe. Thoughts? Preferably southern suburbs or pinelands ish areas but ja... Not expecting a huge saving (its a cheapie) but would like a decent build!

lloydkayak Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks for the advice, ended up phoning Dragon to see who had recently ordered stock on the bike. Turns out City Cycles at Canal Walk had both a Scott and Giant bikes I wanted to look at on the floor. Went there last night (cool they open till 20h45!) got a chance to cycle the bikes around the parking lot was awesome Bought the Giant, not necessarily the absolute best price but how much difference will there be on a R3500 bike... AND I got to cycle it in this morning!

lloydkayak Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Yep... thought it was just "drizzling" Because the bike has cheapy plastic pedals I was like "no ways I am wearing bibs and takkies!" so I wore a pair of walk shorts and croc mocassins... GF said I was stupid, turns out the crocs were great... shorts not so much I still made up ridiculous time even in this weather
lloydkayak Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Dude, croc moccasins??????? Well they are like fabric shoes with croc soles... (dont look like crocs!Dont paint me with THAT brush
