Where has your bike taken you today?

Lucky indeed! But Spez's service was phenomenal.. bike went in to my LBS on the Monday and before the end of the week, everything was sorted.

The haters can slate them all they like, but imo they're growing at the rate they are not just because the bikes are exceptional, but their service is too!

 

Very true.

 

When my wife's 2013 Stumpy HT had a crack on the seat tube, I took the bike back and within 3 days it was replaced with a 2014 frame. No if's and no but's.

More on the bike? looks interesting

 

Probably the ugliest bike on the hub - or at least a contender... it's a Schwinn Madison I got a good deal on some years back. It got stickerbombed - "curated," a hipster would say - by someone at the bike shop! Love this bike.  :wub:

...took a Stance home from the shop on Saturday. Met a mate for a pint at the pub, and found someone had stolen my parking...so that's a death stare they're getting :cursing:

After being off the bike for 2 weeks (sick) I should've eased back in....

not quite what happened! :whistling:

I haven't been to Kings Kloof in years... we "only" did 23km... but they were not easy! Everything was work, the ups and the downs!

I made good use of my newly acquired dropper post....

It's like a lost world in that place! so beautiful and so , SO much potential!

LOVE the foresty sections :clap:

Out Benoni way. That's my local, Grapes. It's exactly 303m from my house - measured by Garmin. The way home used to be 363m... :blush:

I feel bad posting here without photo's.

 

We had an interresting ride yesterday.

 

Started from Featherbrook villiage shopping centre, ride to Hobby Park (out of mordor) up the gulley at silverstar.

Rode Hobby Park.

Down the gulley to Kingskloof.

Rode most of kingskloof (ran out of water) in 35 degrees. Shortcut to the entrance and the tap.

Back to Featherbrook Villiage.

 

Just shy of 70kms with around 1200m of elevation.

the round Coupler (seen below the torqkey and above the joint) holds the down tube together

 

 

the seat post braces the Seat tube and top tube. 

both Seat Tube and top tube clamp around the seat post

 

No welding at all?

That's a pretty very challenging ride that!! especially considering you're gearless :eek:

inevitably I did fair bit of portage up the gulley, the limestone was still wet from the nights rain and grip was nowhere to be found.

 

Was a tough ride. Was lots of fun though.

Place is stunning! trails are rather testing , especially if you're a nutter like RocknRolla that does it on his SS

But there's so much potential there, especially through the forest, hope they add more ST.
