Nice show, please some specials next year! How crazy were those 32inch cruisers?

Yeah, disappointing how few specials there were

I actually found it a bit disappointing.

It would've been nice to have seen manufacturers like Specialized, Scott, Giant etc.

Got the feeling I paid R60 to walk around Solomon's which I could do for free anytime.

 

But it was a great afternoon socialising with friends.

I enjoyed the Fair and thought the R60 entrance was well worth it.

 

Certainly didn't miss the bigger brands and it was great that the smaller (boutique) bike brands were well represented.

 

Great to see Pyga, Contraband, Yeti, Santa Cruz, Hunter Cycling & International Trade.

I kind of agree regarding R60 entrance fee; but on other hand I got to ride the new Bianchi 29er Carbon Comp Dual Susp (valued at R75k); and also rode the new 650B Dual Sus from Momsen...If I went to the dealers I don't think that I would have been allowed to ride these bikes in a proper terrain where you can get a proper feel of the bikes...beats riding bikes in a parking lot... so for R60; I think I got my money's worth...didn't buy any of the bikes though :)

Enjoyed the show.

Enjoyed the food.

Enjoyed the beer.

Got myself one of these with pista bars:

Thinking tan saddle & grip tape for the bars and white cabling.

I smaaked this a lot! Pista bars are very cool! Would take off the back brake I think - absolute simplicity. Brooks saddles were at the show. Edited by TALUS
