He he. No hidden agendas, no ulterior motives...just one bike enthusiast lending his bike to another.

Is there a minimum level of enthusiasm required? Having seen that bike on a build day I have to admit picturing making space in the garage for the wife and moving the bike into the bedroom. It deserves to be well looked after.

To the Vipa for the first proper ride. That thing just pedals so lekker you just do not want to stop. Will take some pictures tomorrow and post them over the weekend. The Vipa is giftig

True, you can only take pictures of the bike when you are not on the bike.. we might never see what it looks like ?!

You're not the first.......I used to know an old gentleman that took his brand new Jaguar E Type for a little spin from the dealer in Cape Town to his house in Constantia........somewhat later he had to ask the Hotel at Matjiesfontein (300kms out of the way) to use their phone (pre-cell days) to call his wife and tell her he was going to be a little late for dinner because he couldn't stop driving his dream machine.

I managed to stop for a quick photo. Now am trying to upload but they say the file is to big. Any help?

If you right click on the photo and select "send to", Outlook will give you the option to select pic size. 800x600 usually does the trick.

 

Or email it to me and I'll post it for you.

Download a program called Irfanview and the RIOT plugin. It can resize photos and compress them for you, in and amongst other awesome things.

BAIE happy met myne. Die naweek weer vet pret gehad. Ek is 179 en ry 'n Large met 'n 50mm stem. Fit moet einlik 70mm stem wees so ek glo jy sal goed pas op 'n Large met een van Momsen se 60mm stems.

 

Dit is 'n game changer op 'n 29er om bietjie langer te gaan en dan korter stem en wyer bars te ry. My Vipa is net so, en in baie gevalle meer, agile as enige ander 26" fiets met dieselfde travel. Baie goeie trail manners.

 

Het al een gesien met XX1 op - was stupid lig! Was baie tempted om myne te bou met XX1.

Marius - myne het XO1op met Mavic SLR wiele en het 10.5kg geweeg toe ek hom so vinnig op die skaal gegooi het. Die hardtail wat ek vir die Dash gebruik het was 10.2kg maar ek het ure om gebid vir die Vipa op daardie stukke sinkplaat. Ons wag nog vir die freebody adapter vir die 11spoed cluster agter. Baie goed gedoen op die Dash so terloops -my pa sê jy en Silvio het baie hard geoefen vir die ding.

Only requirement is an open mind and a love for bikes!
