Andrew_Smith Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) My friend is a vegan and I don't mind enjoying a meal with him. In all honesty, the vegan beef did not taste bad at all. Cool story Bro, although you nearly lost me at Vegan... Yo yo yo ..... we saw you and your tchjommie on the orange commuters while we were also cycling through the city! Lekker write up, thanks for this. Oh .... who in their right mind eats a gatsby with a knife and fork Riding in the city is awesome ... you missed highlights such as Bo-Kaap, the old District Six and the Company Gardens just to name a few. If you do this again, please pop a thread up before hand! That was us! In fairness, there was a group of ladies in the restaurant, hence following the fork & knife route.We went without planning a route... Which was a mistake our side. Also, we don't know Cape Town that good being from Durbanville, so we just smashed up the first climb.Our next trip would be the night ride with the shop. Looks really awesome! And will only cost you R60! Edited April 12, 2019 by Andrew_Smith Hairy 1
Wayne pudding Mol Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) What year is the Trek?Bit underrated my much maligned trekThe right year, 1999 - quite a historically significant bike in that it was the first non European bike to finish the TDF first* and seriously nice to ride - it weighs 8kgs dead and that 10 speed veloce not the lightest groupset - another piece of useless info is that the frame at 912g was revolutionary and consumers got the same frame as the team Edited April 12, 2019 by Waynemol DJR 1

Wayne pudding Mol Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Perfect morning for a 50km gravel grind around Wilderness. Farr aero bar really useful for this sort of ride ChrisF, Vetseun, Spokey and 7 others 10

Pretty sure it can easily be built to below 7kg with pretty much stock standard bits from the time. Wayne pudding Mol and Andrew_Smith 2

deanbean Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 We started off a lekker ride, riding the first 30km of GKT, beautiful ride to start off a "race", and my companions persuaded me to change the route. Then once on the straight flat? gravel roads, I decided to take a pic of the Windvogelberg, a landmark of note, when I hit a patch of corrugations. Bike went one way(and it's okay if anyone is worried, but the Bigwig takes more than a flat road spill to damage it) and I went the other way. The picMy knee was a mess. Ended up in surgery to clean the knee joint. Hairy, Andrew_Smith, Vetseun and 1 other 4
DJR Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Eina, hope it heals well and quickly. Never nice if a ride ends at the hospital. deanbean, Hairy and Wayne pudding Mol 3
RocknRolla Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Bliksem. Hope you heal well dean!Was it break lever damage? Or sharp object on the ground? Looks like you did a proper job there. deanbean 1
gummibear Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Ouch....hope the healing goes well [emoji106] deanbean 1
