GLuvsMtb Posted May 6, 2014 Share 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...

Neill Du Toit Posted May 6, 2014 Share 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 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Fish Posted May 6, 2014 Share This thread has turned out to be pretty awesome - had some good laughs Handbags should be taken to a more serious & mature thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ians H2Sport Posted May 6, 2014 Share 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_w_65 Posted May 8, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_w_65 Posted May 8, 2014 Share 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!! Edited May 8, 2014 by chris_w_65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean Posted May 8, 2014 Share need help, looking for the make of a bike, mid to late nineties, I had the Haro model, cant recall then make of bike? 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
