If you DESPISE the manufacturers who "gave bikes to the pro teams" it does not leave you with a very wide choice does it mmmmmmmm??????

By the way what bike do YOU ride that is NOT used by so called PRO TEAMS???????? Hallo H I ride a Fondriest, not a common bike more of an acquired taste, you know the shaken not stirred type. Like an old Italian beauty, got it for a bargain though, that is why I ride it. I started riding on a Raleigh RC 3000 farm gate with a Sora triple groupset. So as I said it was tongue in cheek, nothing meant. It is like you, you have a dislike in Campy as I have a dislike in Shimano and I dislike Raleigh. End of story.

Het jy geweet dat Lance Armstrong toe hy vir Motorola gery het 'n Fondriest met kempekker goedjies op gehad het??????? Hallo Hendrik Ek weet ek het 'n klomp mense nou kwaad gemaak. Het nie 'n probleem daarmee nie ons is hier om ons se te se maar dit beteken nie dat ons ander kan sleg se nie. Soos jy sal oplet het ek niemand sleg gese nie net gese ek hou nie van Raleigh nie. Ek het begin op een en het goeie tye met hom gehad. Maar ek het aan beweeg en ry nou die Fondriest weet ook nie vir hoe lank nie want bliksempie het die raam oorgeneem soos ek verneem het en ek ry nou Specialized. En Gerolsteiner ry nou met hulle so daar gaan daardie verweer. Maar ja dit is soos die ou Ford Chev kwesie gewees jare terug toe die ouens mekaar gemoer het oor die kar wat jou pa gery het. En dit sal tot in lengte van dae bespreek word. hoop jy wen die fiets. *hijack* Ek weet daar loop leeus in Botswana se noorde rond en ook in Nambie. loop die leeus daar by julle ook in die nag rond ( vier potige tipe ) * hijack off*

Chunky Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Ok, I have helped may riders 'better' themselves. I have seen donkeys turned into race horses. But even with alot of drugs, these guys still cant stand a Raleigh. Throw them on a heap and pour petrol on them. Thats what they deserve.
MTB0007 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 HUH DUDE, I ONLY RIDE RALEIGHONLY WEAR RALEIGHCHECK MY NEW Avatar Who u wanna pour petrol on?

idrive Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 What a pargetic bunch the average South African cyclist has turned out to be. In 14 pages there is so much stupidity its scary to think these twits are sometimes in the same bunch as me. I guarantee most of you wouldn't be able to tell what bike you're riding if it was devoid of branding and furthermore, you wouldn't feel a difference between a top end frame and an entry level frame if they had the same groupset and were set up the same. Get a life ....... oh dear, heaven help us if this is your life!
gummibear Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 idrive I agree.put some of these guys on a RC 3000 with decent wheels and group and they will still do the same times. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE!!!!!

Some people drive BMW some drive Ford some VW, I ride what I like and I DO NOT LIKE Raleigh. It is that simple. Yes some riders on Raleigh's are faster than me, so what I choose what I want to ride. And it is definitely not a Raleigh
wisecrack Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE!!!!! but you have to feel good while riding it I have to be honest when I used to ride a DBR it was quite a rough ride and damn heavy, but it looked great to me and that's part of what motivated me to go out and train most mornings. Sorry ,but I cannot see myself getting excited over a Raleigh especially a yellow one
Slick Chick Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Tikki' date=' that one was already very good!But I see that some guys like Big H really like us and don't want to say any bad things. So for those guys we start a second competition now:We'll give a new MR 5.0 (complete bike) away. But you have to give us a reason, why you need this bike and why you deserve it. The one with the best story will get the bike as soon as it is available. [/quote']
