It's a pity we have to ruin bikes with bottle cages - they look so much neater without them (nobody say camelback - I poke you in the eye!).

Camelbak, actually. but I prefer nalgene with those magnetic hose vibe thingymajigs.

 

speaking of magnets, i think there is a magnetic bottle holder that would look less.....cagey.

That is suuuuweet! I'm starting to like non traditional/cx bikes more and more.

 

I took the softy option and popped 42mm on!

Great stuff!

Very nice Eldron. Agree with Kosmonooit, need to arrange a cross event. There's a nice piece of track at Thaba where we can do some short course lap racing, you fast ou's can race, I'll just ride laps...

 

Also been looking at Rietvlei and have worked out a nice lap for short course racing!

I was thinking somewhere like Delta Park might be a good venue. You just need a few props, a bridge (granny's walker), sand and some squishy bits (granny's jack russell).

a few R10 notes in the sand for a money grab, a few barriers to jump over and you need the race to cut through the middle of a beet tent each lap, only beer and hot chips to be served for spectators, and if its dry and the sun's out the race gets cancelled due to adverse weather conditions biggrin.png
