Congrats to the guys who ordered their kit before the Randella got shafted! Still cheap(er) tho.

You bet i got mine 2 months ago at R8.50

 

Thank goodness for that one.

 

Im Afraid 2014 bike prices are going to go ballistic . So if u want a new bike better get it now.

As well. I've not had that before. I ordered a heap of stuff nearly 2 weeks back and have been waiting for them to arrive and only got the mail today saying they shipped.

 

Not too concerned though, with this weather I'm struggling to get any saddle time in.

That is why I would import rims, buy quality hubs and have a good wheel builder lace them up for you

See flyxii's FR211 and FR213 they look similar, but i would say compare the geo's rather.

The Planet x One One Lurcher, Has any one tried this out or have experience with it?

I have purchased small items (hubs etc) from Planet x with no problems, fast and efficient, and their special price is quite special. You have to live with the decals though, but looks quite attractive.
