Why you questioning this add?

 

Check the rim size - 29"

and tire size - 26"

It must have been mighty hard fitting them tires!

Sometimes I leave the ad up, but change the heading to sold, just until I can get the seller to leave feedback on the sale.

He meant to say 29mm rims, that's their width. Just a typo, calm down...

What I’ve heard enough of:

  • Stiffer
  • Responsive
  • Vertically more compliant
  • Reduced drag

And I still want to see how a bike climbs. Sometimes it sounds like you just have to sit, relax and the bike will get you to the top, no sweat!

Aggressive geometry. Phukkit. Reminds me of office buzz words. Raising the bar, shifting the goal post, adding value to the exercise. EEEK!!!

I guess the key to classifieds would be managing expectations then.

I think along with some dodgy ads there are the luke warm responses.

" Hi, is the item still available?" So you reply yes never to hear another word from the interested party. Annoying!!!

I love the ones that people claim 'BARGAIN' in the title... like people who say 'I'm a bit crazy', it's usually the complete opposite.

 

Not on the hub but a classic on gumtree. If only for the first line.

 

 

Only driven outside twice. in total about 19 times only.

 

R5000 for the entire set.

 

This will include:

1. The indoor stand (allows you to lift the hind wheel and control the stand via gears and drive indoors

2. Giant 5 speed, cleat pedal, road bike.

3. Accessories bag (nuts bolts tire changing accessories, hardware to adjust seat etc)

4. Helmet

5. Cycling shorts

6. Electric screen that shows how how far you have driven etc.

7. Two pumps for pumping up the tyres.

Please let me know if you are interested.
