ChrisF Posted February 7, 2023 Share No where ... Business day ended in Robertson. I wanted to take the bike along ..... weatherman predicted significant rain in the area. There were a faint mist in the air when I stopped for my meeting. Bone dry, hot and very humid for the rest of the day, with a stiff breeze. Sitting at Rooiberg I sorely missed my bike .... will teach me for trusting the weatherman. LBKloppers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phindrixdlamz Posted February 8, 2023 Share I travelled sown to Siphofaneni, a town in the Kingdom of Eswatini on tarmac. For 47km then hit gravel for 40km and the rest of the road home was tarmac as well, 25km of it. A chilled solo cross country ride totaling 112km at an average speed of 18km/h taking me 6 hours to complete. The scenery was amazing while riding in the bush.

Stoffel76 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Quick spin up the Constantia green belts before work... Always such a scenic spot this, but particularly when the rising sun breaks through the trees... ChrisF, TheoG, babse and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get my hands on one of those frames or even a 2017 - 2021 model frame to upgrade my 2013 RM Element but they are as scarce as chicken teeth 😥. If I may ask where did you get hold of this bike? Edited February 11, 2023 by TheoG NotSoBigBen and michaelbiker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may ask where did you get hold of this bike? Long story but I bought a C30 and had it shipped to my place in Singapore from Brunei. Then switched all the parts over from my BMC. I would have kept the BMC but it was too big for me. The 2022 Element is a different bike from the previous Elements. More of a trail bike then XC. Most fun bike I think I have ever owned. Particularly on steep downhills. I would recommend going with a 2022 or newer if you can find one or waiting for one to pop up. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm searching for a long time now and no luck yet 😞. Will keep looking though .... I'm with you on the 2022 frame, slacker head angle, closer to a trail bike, but I will take one model older also hands down IF I can find one. There was a 999 RSL 2017 on the hub about 2 years ago, I wasted to much time and it was sold from under my nose ... 😥. Since then there were one or two others but nothing in a L or XL frame 🙈.
