Zatek Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Good day Looking to borrow a road bike for about a month. I need to send my bike in for a warranty claim and the process takes about 4 weeks. I cannot afford to miss 4 weeks of training. I have certain aspirations for the rest of the year and rolled over to next year Feb. I you now of anybody or a shop that would be willing to assist please let me know.The bike will be insured by me and I will cover shipping as well. Frame size 56cm but a 54cm will also work, Shimano group set with a SLK crank if possible. I am using Qrings and would like to move it over. I have a very aggressive setup so would need a race geometry if possible. Thanks

Hennie VR Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I think you have a perfectly good excuse to buy another bike Remember: one can never have enough bikes!
Patchelicious Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Just a thought...... If it is purely about not losing out on training, might I suggest you join a gym that has a Wattbike or go to BicyclePower for a month. You will come out a stronger rider after the wait. Will cost a few ronds, and might not be your favourite type of training, but see it as a training block and treat it as such. 4 weeks of focused training will help you achieve those aspirations a lot quicker than you think If I didnt have a bike for a month, I would spend 4 days a week here https://www.bicyclepower.co.za/
pe3nguin Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Patch makes a fantastic point. I mean, its not quite in the realm of n+1 bikes...but you cant argue with the results people achieve in power based training blocks.

Just lend him your Colnago and be done with it
velomonatiCT Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 thinks you would have more luck if thread was called''where can I rent a road bike for a month''
Zatek Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 Agree with Pure Savage. I live in Secunda so there is no proper gym not to mention a wattbike. I am already on a power based training program.
Zatek Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 I am willing to rent as well but depends on the price?
Patchelicious Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 You bringing common sense around on a Friday. Just lend him your Colnago and be done with it More chance of lending him a wife for a month My Tarmac Pro SL4 54cm (the one you saw at jock) is currently on loan to a friend for similar reasons.If he comes right and gives it back soon, you are welcome to use it.
Escapee.. Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 You bringing common sense around on a Friday. Just lend him your Colnago and be done with it He would have to pay Zatek to borrow that thing
Zatek Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks Patch. Please keep me in the loop. Only sending my bike in after race for victory.
Pure Savage Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks Patch. Please keep me in the loop. Only sending my bike in after race for victory. Now I want to know whats wrong with the bike?
