JGR Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Nice to see people so passionate about something. The comparison to Apple is fair, only a handful of companies out there whose customers are loyal enough to actually get a tattoo of the registered logo. I haven’t done an Ironman, but that definitely doesn’t mean I can’t comment on it. I have done a few triathlon events over the years, but have never been TSA registered/member of a club. Got 5 Totalsports challenge individual medals in a box at home which I suppose is someway between 70.3 and a full IM.If Challenge Cape Town could devise a feasible route I’d be in (if the price was right).Loyality is earned over time and they must be doing something right for 90% of the people out there admire and rate what they do. Both are difinitive leaders in the field. So you openly admit to not contributing to the devlopment of the sport but feel you have a lot to say. You remind me of people who complain about government but would never go to the ballot box. Ill ask again - do you know what happened to Challenge Cape Town? It was only slightly cheaper than IM and people paid, event never happened and most are still trying to get their money. I would rather pay the going rate and be assured of a fantastic event. In closing did I/we go onto your Jean Pant racer thread and complain about the cost of stage racing? No - in fact I went ahead and liked so you could get your free entry.
Garfield2010 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 so lets see all those TT machines My new bike is 85% complete. Pics to follow soon........................

hboli4 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Just post a pic without the seat on Hie-hie, also thinking that a clamp is not 15% of the bike
kingalton Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 No TT bike - Scott CR1 with clipon tribars at this stage...
Garfield2010 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Well I got the clamp and a new seat. I also fitted my Dura Ace and my shifters. Now the last piece I need to upgrade is my TT Bars.....
JGR Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Well I got the clamp and a new seat. I also fitted my Dura Ace and my shifters. Now the last piece I need to upgrade is my TT Bars.....What you getting? Did the bike not come with bars?
Garfield2010 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 What you getting? Did the bike not come with bars? Yes but they ugly as hell and heavy - don't do the bike justice. I am looking at those T-3 bars............
Garfield2010 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 So....................... They promised something "special" for 2014 at the awards ceremony this year...... Any ideas on what we can expect... So far the only change I know of is the swimming route. Its now 2 laps of differing lengths to hopefully sort out some of the traffic. Maybe an extra special finishers jersey or something.... Maybe a watch like you get at Challenge Roth?

sluiper Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Don't know if I like the new swim route. With the 2 laps of the same length, you could say to yourself "Well I'm over halfway" when you got to the beach. Now, you'll be "Hell, I'm not even halfway yet!" when you get to the beach
davem Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Entry fee R4 300New Specialised Transition R25 000Seatpost clamp R800Kicking Garfield's butt - Priceless
Red Zone Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Yes but they ugly as hell and heavy - don't do the bike justice. I am looking at those T-3 bars............Got some Uberhund bars if you like, sexy and light, were just a bit narrow for me

Now, you'll be "Hell, I'm not even halfway yet!" when you get to the beach The swims just a warmup anyway, I quite like the idea of a shorter loop "to survive" followed by a more measured effort for the longer lap
SwissVan Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Entry fee R4 300 That's a good price for IMZurich = Chf 685 = R7500 I think Zurich is a transfer option for IMSA, what are the conditions for transfer? Is that like if you enter but cannot start for a valid reason then you can transfer? As of yesterday Zurich still has 700 entries open for full IM @ end of July
