SilverMountain Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 The GT Marathon 2 looks a nice bike and was tempted to buy it through the internet (2008 model)for just over R10,000 however the import duties, VAT and postage would have added R5K to it and it would only be R4000 cheaper and then I would have no guarentee. A little risky so I decided to leave it.
SilverMountain Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 .....sounds a good idea however some of us may need a little practice riding with cleats etc. for the first time. Could be a good idea to have a raleigh goose challege within the birthday challenge
GTfan Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 mmmmmm - maybe all of us with our new goose's and raleigh's should meet up at the Giba Gorge Birthday challenge and decide once and for all which is the better bike  Sounds like a plan
GTfan Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Although I think I'll only be doing the 20km at Giba's birthday, cos that really just equals out to 40km in a normal race, and at my fitness level I sort of stick to the 40km's
GTfan Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 mmmmmm - maybe all of us with our new goose's and raleigh's should meet up at the Giba Gorge Birthday challenge and decide once and for all which is the better bike  And remember, it's not about the bike
Stretch Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Â And remember' date=' it's not about the bike [/quote'] Â Â Â Ha ha - i am hoping my brain will tell my legs that they are not tired just because of the new bike
GTfan Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Are us chicks allowed to take on this challenge?? Â Absodamlutely!!
GTfan Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Im dying to whip your ass Fruity!! Â You most probably will with all the riding you do in and around your resort
Stretch Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 ok so..look out for the spanking new dirt free bikes! thats if I have mine by then! actually, looking at the calendar, there is also the glengarry 57km in Kamberg on the sunday - I may opt for that instead.....
_bob_ Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 When is the Giba birthday thing? Might join in if I manage to get my goose built up and learn not to fall off it (hate those damn cleats)Â
johanbehrens Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Not one. Have a look at the Giant Anthem x2 forthe same $
GTfan Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 When is the Giba birthday thing? Might join in if I manage to get my goose built up and learn not to fall off it (hate those damn cleats)Â Â 27th of this month bob..
