Trance Dance Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 A pair of runnings or trail shoes is probably the better " investment" if health is the justifiction.Have you seen the price of trail shoes these days! At 9 months a pair you looking at almost R3500 per year!
stefmeister Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Have you seen the price of trail shoes these days! At 9 months a pair you looking at almost R3500 per year!That’s fokol. R3.5k will be your monthly installment on a $$$ bike. Or the annual insurance cost alone. Never mind the associated maintenance costs of said bike. R3.5k is a GX cassette a year.

The Ghost Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Well since the OP doesn’t want to post a pic of his financed bike I’ll post a pic of my financed bike - just because threads need peeekchas.

Breezer Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I thought of financing a bike a few months ago. At the end I bought a older second hand bike cash with the money I would have used for a deposit.Now I am very happy with the decision I made. I got a lot of bike for a third of the price of new one.
The Ghost Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Lovely bike...can you eat it? do it come with is own braai set ? and don't forget the coffee machine.. If I ate it then it would be gone and that would suck.

IceCreamMan Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I stupidly made the mistake of buying a cellphone myself for the first time since 2006 recently. Since then work has always given me a phone. Work still give me a base level iPhone, but I, in a moment of madness, bought a new XR a couple of months ago and stuck my work sim card in. Every time I use it now, I think how that £800 could have paid for a week of cycling in Majorca instead.I just did more or less the same thing. Not ever having received not being allowed credit here I realised I needed WiFi calling. Only way to get it is with a contract. Pop into Vodafone expecting fully to be denied an told yes sir we can give you a sim card contract. Pushing my luck I asked could I get a phone too. ( always had my own bought from gift gaff SE iPhone) yes sir what phone would u like. Long story. In a 40 pound a month hole but at least I now have credit. Another step in the process.

Another step in the process.I looked into all that when my 4yr Samsung S6 needed a new battery.... Looked into a contract and then looked on Amazon and picked up a Sony Xperia z something or other for 250. Crap looking... But specs are decent enough for what I need. Kept my sim only contract for 25

If you just make calls via whatsapp you are wifi calling ( assuming you're on a wifi)
IceCreamMan Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Huh?? If you just make calls via whatsapp you are wifi calling ( assuming you're on a wifi)Yes via WhatsApp it is WiFi. I live in an area with very poor signal. In order to route calls via my home WiFi needs a contract. Can’t call emergency services (as an example) via whatsapp. As a contractor I need to be accessible to agencies etc that will not use WhatsApp. Tried setting up a Skype soft phone at one point. Did not work too well.
