Makro special !!

[GLuvsMtb]

looking at his avatar, is he a shilton or a maradonna?

and if you look at mine, you see a guy with a 2007 Argus MTB T shirt that's full of holes, but I love the damn thing(done on a Giant Boulder) and his dog...

In the 90's we used MTB in the Tokai Mountains on 26' steel frame Avalanche Reflexes with no front shocks. Lot's of fun.

 

Yes, I remember my first mtb in the mid 90's was also an Avalanche Reflex. And I thought that was a great bike! Had many exciting trips on that bike :-)

in the spirit of p.o.s bikes that have no place in serious races, I bring you a steed that finished last year's freedom challenge.

This thread has turned out to be pretty awesome - had some good laughs

Handbags should be taken to a more serious & mature thread....

I have actually thought about this, Fly down for the race, go to pnp/makro the day before and buy a special, set it up( pump the tyres), enjoy the ride and scenery for a change! Stop for a few beers along the way. Finish in 5-7 hours(Time relative to amount of beers consumed), Give the bike away at the finish line. This could be quiet a lekker charity drive if one could get a group of similarly minded idiots together.

nice! I'll arrange a good deal on the bikes from either Game or Makro. Hey, maybe they'll even sponsor something??

How do those Aero bars perform on hot summers days ?

 

They get lighter as you go...

I finally figured it out...

 

This is the perfect bike for the guys training with a weaker partner.

 

I prefer doing that on my Scott 29'er - Big ring at the front and small gear at the back all the way

Shock-ing stuff

Yea, because you will be running alongside said partner pushing this thing after about 2 kays

[r0adrunner]

21 kg haha that is serious.

Come on guys - admit it. How many of you secretly rode a "Makro special" at some point in your lives????

Hubby did his first Argus on a Game "special" MTB in 3:15

"Alaskan Wolf" is the carbon model, right?

I had a Peugeot Mirage racing bike in school, as far as I remember back then it was a reasonably decent brand, cost R120.00 and that was in the late 70's. I was the only guy at school with quick release wheels and had to check they hadn't been loosened every day after school. I think it was a 5 speed casette back then. Bear in mind my old man got his first company car in 1976 and that cost R2800.00 brand new!!

Haro would have been the make...

 

Had one when I was in high school 6 years ago...

 

Miss that bmx... Was my ticket to freedom when I had no licence... If only in had realised sooner it wasn't just my movement that was unrestricted while on a bicycle...

yes but the fact that you spent 50k and needing to tell us does define you! in this single paragraph I know more about you than most of the people I have meet from the hub.

 

Such a tjop thing to say.
