madmarc Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Maybe this explains why CRAFT were selling off EPIC kit at bargain prices

Azonic Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Ok. So to match the rip-off entry fee, now you have the opportunity to buy rip-off clothing as well. Because nothing says moron quite like rubbing your naught on a R2999 chamois. dev null, Swim.Bike.Run, Markdeep and 8 others 11

Azonic Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Jealous much Not at all. I import all my clothing from China, proudly fakes. And its awesome. Thermal tops @ R230, Bibs & Shirt @ R350. I wear nothing else. If anyone thinks a R3k bib or R2k shirt is going to make them ride their bike faster, then go for it my son. MorewoodGuyCT, Steven Knoetze (sk27), Rosco and 6 others 9

DIPSLICK Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 but then again maybe I am wrong, I have extended my bond twice for my EPICS entry fees and to me it was worth every cent
DIPSLICK Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Ja - its nearly as bad as importing cheap knock-off frames well I would never do that either, stealing from the mouths of the people who grow our local market,local is lekke,
MuddyMike Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 but then again maybe I am wrong, I have extended my bond twice for my EPICS entry fees and to me it was worth every centI wouldnt equate the cost of an Epic entry to forking out R3k for bibs.......
Hairy Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Just dropping a cheap and poor taste "joke" here ...... Can you just imagine the "new" chamois cream they will come out with for the epic at an inflated price.New and improved to go longer and harder for you and your partner at the Epic ......New and improved with mud shedding properties and invigorating Cape Funbos scentNew and improved with larger jar for those eight days when you can't run out of ass lube......... you get the idea Wes84 and Cav' 2
