Bos Posted April 7, 2020 Share I Posted my whole Story a week before lock-down, so some of you might have seen it.. (Stolen) no bike for the best part of summer then as soon as I got a new one, the boss of the world says "LOCKDOWN" I cant tell you how badly I want to take this baby down Red Phoenix ! The story goes... My bike was stolen in the early hours of the morning on black Friday 2019, never to be seen again. However, since it was stolen from my house "Santa"m came to the party and paid out an amount I could put a fairly descent bike together with If I shopped around cleverly.As it turns out, every part has a unique story in where they came from or how they came to be that both makes the build more special because of what I managed to put together for the price, and, the mission I went through getting them. Every part had a story Fork - RS Revelation (150mm debonair) now Pike from bikehubSA. Then when I traveled to the UK in Feb, I picked up a Charger 2 RCT3 damper on e-bay UK and brought It home with me.

Duane_Bosch Posted April 8, 2020 Share Backyard bike check 2 of 3. Behold my 2015 Giant TCR Advanced. It's pretty much a standard build apart from the 80mm stem, Mavic wheels and Selle San Marco saddle which is by far the best bike upgrade I have ever purchased. Oh and the black bar tape. Guys if you aren't a pro. Black bar tape. There's nothing worse than siff used to be white bar tape on a bike. I originally bought a Merida 903 as a commuter bike to get to the office and back. I then quickly got upgradeitis and bought this bike from IRide Africa. It was one of their rental units. I donated the Merida to the Hout Bay Cycling Club and I still see it from time to time carrying a youngster up Chappies. This TCR has been an amazing bike. It's taken me to France where we did a few Alpine Cols together and to Italy up Monte Grappa which is truly a BEAST of a climb. It also took me to a rather scorching Sub 8 argus this year. Tortima Italy 2017 Monte Grappa Italy 2017 Avoriaz 2016. Note the MTB lid and the 3/4 shorts. No bibs at this stage.

LazyTrailRider Posted April 8, 2020 Share Hey Mr Smooth, when this whole Lock-down is over, can we organize a ride down the Iron Monkey and Red Phoenix ? Maybe even Invite your retired from MTB younger but older brother ? I feel for you. Your garden was this neat, and your bikes this clean before lockdown, WTF are you going to do for 3 weeks!!?? Nice bike Thanks! Let's hit Jonkers yes. Both younger brothers are far from retired, the older one even has more than one bike these days! Don't believe the neatness, I cleaned the Stumpy right before the shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
