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.

Late afternoon ride today... Wearing a bright red/pink shirt makes you very unwelcome by the wildebeest.

You sure it wasn't the decapitated animal mounted on the handlebars that scared them off..?

They probably didn't want to be mounted on the other side :P
