Lucky Luke. Posted December 3, 2008 Share I ride with Justin pretty often. He is currently training for Iron Man 2009 and has a silver medal from the WP time trials a couple years ago. His wife Karen manages Club 100 Cape Town. Shop-wise, he used to work at Bowmans and then opened his own, Bike Haven in Muizenburg before moving to BMT in Stellenbosch after repeated break-ins in Muizenburg Main Road. He looks after a lot of bikes in the South Peninsula area, particularly triathletes bikes. Kent Horner who recently returned from the Olympics is a regular customer. I'm currently riding a bike he built for himself, which you can have a look at here. Justin is a mate of mine, but even if he wasn't I wouldn't go anywhere else for bike repairs. lukehardiman2008-12-03 03:02:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfreekduSoet Posted December 5, 2008 Share But how much mechanic work does a triathlete need? Their bike handling is better than their mechanical abilities.... they need a good mechanic. How many triathletes are out there? In stellenbosch. Tim Don' date=' Conrad Stoltz, Marie Rabie, etc list it as home.... And surely the cost of a speedo and tekkies are minimal compared to bike stuff. So they should try and get another brand or 2. They probably stock Orca, 2XU, etc. I spent R5k+ on 2 Orca items last week. Running shoes, R1k a pop, 2-3 pairs a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least an ex-SA booitjie won gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomnia Posted June 2, 2010 Share Hi Cornelis The manager then had a serious medical condition , which would account for the poor feedback. She has moved . There is now a very good team working there. Best to pop in again and see the progress. Thanks for the criticism. We see it in a constructive manner. Regards BMT team.
