ibruegge Posted November 17, 2012 Share Hi there, flew up to Joburg this morning, my bike is now broken. Ran to the expo just in time, Solomon's drove me to their work shop, they can't fix it either (bearing broken), they were amazing - but I am no without a bike. So sad - am 1.93m, anyone got a bike?

SpecialK Posted November 17, 2012 Share So sorry to hear that, they should at least pay for the repair. Got a large 11year old Giant OCR3 without pedals standing around. Don't think it will fit you though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibruegge Posted November 17, 2012 Share Wow. Solomon's is lending me a brand new bike for the race. Am speechless. Flatdog7, singletrackgirl, RiderX and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted November 17, 2012 Share Thats great news! May you have a fantastic race. You might even want to buy the bike when you're done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracs Posted November 17, 2012 Share Nice one - must say I had a "little" impulse purchase myself from Soloman's at the expo.. This has made me let go of my buyer's remourse! (the 20% off sticker price also helped...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted November 17, 2012 Share This is the sort of service I have experienced from Solomons Woodmead over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZakAttak Posted November 17, 2012 Share Even though I'm based in Cape Town, Solomons really went outta their way to try and help me with what i was looking for, despite all the bad ranting about their service...they are a great bunch and great to deal with too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big H* Posted November 18, 2012 Share How did Kalula break a bearing? Well done Solomon's. Is this just a new scam to get a better bike for rceday???? ibruegge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibruegge Posted November 18, 2012 Share How did Kalula break a bearing? Well done Solomon's. Is this just a new scam to get a better bike for rceday????Hahaha. Finished race, in pain, cause I think new bike wasn't the right size - but hey, beats not riding at all. The headset bearings were cracked open when we took the bike out the bag. Solomon's has also never seen anything like it - and it's not a closed bearing so we couldn't replace the bracket holding the balls. I just hope frame and fork aren't damaged.
