Dont ride alone esp in pappegaaiskop, western side of Stellenbosch.

Corrie Muller (Epic masters podium) rode this morning and a person with hockey stick attacked him, breaking his Specialised carbon MTB frame.

Ride with a buddy at all times.

Amen to that.  I live  less than 300 m from the entrance to the hill on the Onderpapegaaiberg side, and I have not ridden there for over 6 months now.  It is actually quite sick.  GL, where did the attack occur?  Near the top, or down near the cemetery?

Well, that's why I tell everyone to stay away from those Spaz frames. A friend broke two last year!

 

With all the muggings and crime in this country, best to get a strong frame!

And I live almost next door to Homer and have not cycled on Papegaaiberg in the last 6 months either.

I noticed some really suspicious characters there on my last ride and with all the reports of attacks I  did not feel like taking the risk again.

 

Really sick the state of affairs in this country!

Ya I agree he should replace his frame with a Giant or similiar.

Not being facetious....just want to know.  We have complained, etc...they "send out patrols"...which is a dude on a scooter who spends most of his time parking under a bush and drinking with the bergies.
