SL7 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Alpha Pharm certainly got the attention they were after- well done to their marketing genius!
Gasping Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Are there any truly Sarf Effriken bicycles out there? I don't want my Ronts to leave the country
BeegMig Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 If you don't like what AP is doing with your(their) money, spend it somewhere else.Me, ill support them.Infact, i support them even more. Whats good for cycling, is good for me, is good for everyone of us.
WorcesterWheelers Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Are there any truly Sarf Effriken bicycles out there? I don't want my Ronts to leave the country Bring back handbuilt HANSOM'S......

scotty Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Nothing new to this debate, its been circulated in running circles for a long time with the likes of Harmony and Mr Price sponsoring overseas runners. scotty2009-07-09 01:01:32
javadude Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Lets hope that next year AP brings a whole team of blond Swedes, wouldn't that be something. In fact, we should insist on it to help raise the level of our ladies. I would even volunteer some of my time to help manage the team.
Gasping Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I reckon it is time to draw the lager (waggons not hops), bought up all the old "dikwielle" we can find, tossed out the Sidi cycle shoes for Bata takkies. We would not even have to wear helmets (going far too slow) or debate the Crampy Sh*tmano merits. We can have our own race (the Tour De Farce). To hell with foreigners. Remember Amajuba!!!!!

Flemish Lion Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Oh' date=' and we better get Barloworld to fire all those smelly foreigners on their pro continental team, too. Dunno how we've managed to tolerate it this far. [/quote'] Please don't kick me off the team captain
Thug Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Why don't we turn this all around. We Saffers must stop supporting foreign bike manufacturers and only purchase local. Woohoo, Patrick needs to quadruple his manufacturing facility and we're all going to be riding MTB's from now on.
Gasping Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Please don't kick me off the team captain I suppose you would rather be flamed than flemmed (sic)?

Some of us have pride you know .....
Eldron Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Thank you one and all - this has been one of the most entertaining threads on thehub. Ok maybe the jelly baby jacksons one was funnier...It got me thinking though - we have Parys - we have our own little Eiffel Tower - why not have our own little vrystaater fiasco? Only SA bikes allowed (I have a circa 1995 rusted 7spd Zini that'll do) - we'll do a different route every day, chow boerewors, blow vuvuzelas (flame me flame me!!), burn an effigy of Alpha Pharm's CEO, toyi toyi round the braai and generally do stupid south african things.If only you could see the mental image in my head....odd indeed.
Joe Low Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Ahh but you know our big mistake with this one was to jump in too hard too quick. Look, the thing has burnt out cuz Darkhorse didnt show again after the 1st post, & it's only 10 o' clock, what are we gonna do now? It's the same as when John Terry gets substituted in a game, it's no fun as there's no one left to hate. Next time, one of us has to be sympathetic and draw things out more slowly so that the intended victim sticks around a bit longer. Deal?
Andyr249 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Saxo Bank must get rid of Voigt, Schleck brothers and Cancellara. Astana must get rid of Contador and LA.Maybe a few foreign riders would be great to raise the level of SA cycling, both in the ladies and the mens races.Andyr2492009-07-09 03:47:48
