Maybe Spez can make a "S-works Coffee Hip Flask"? out of FACT Carbon?

could do, but let's be realistic here ..... if a hip flask is the design to go with, it should be a whiskey specific dispensing unit.

... with a specific single malt detector. Anything less than say a Glenmorangie 18yr old would immediately be discharged.

I'm working my way through my JW black at the moment. About the same price as beer by price per unit of alcohol, or so I tell myself. 

 

It's really horrible having an Ultra Liquors for a neighbour. Horrible, I say.

The only reason I hate them is this...

 

If I could afford to spend R140,000 on an Epic S-Works I would take it any day.

 

But until then all I can do is drool at the hordes of them ridden by people in the batches further back and get all excited when I get home, climb into bed and dream that I was racing on one of them....until I get one #ihatespecialized #MyMeridaCostsMeEnoughThanks

sorry, did you just admit to owning a merida....I will give you the benefit of doubt and assume you are intoxicated and have made a mistake.

 

If not dear sir I suggest you take a back seat and rather than comment. I can understand your view that a spaz would be an upgrade,hell a Raleigh would be an upgrade over the merida :P

Specialized are fantastic looking bikes, a bit overpriced but a good 2nd hand can do the magic for anyone, so buy the "fat guys" spez and enjoy it.

About the cannondales epic or scalpel? Hummmm?!

The lefty i belive the best shocs in the market, both of the premium brands i like both!

i never buy any other brands just this two!

I own a Second hand 26" camber, I always thought Spez was over priced, I walked into a Concept store over the week-end, the Bottom of the range D/S ie Camber is R25999, on par with entry level Treks and Scotts at Cycle lab, The Camber comp goes for R32000, well on par with other Similar specked bikes.

Pffft, Hairy needs to show up for the race first. Oh wait, I may have had a brewski with him at w2w. So we know he has done a race once upon a time.

(but he has been known to go fast, so you might swallow your words.)
