SwissVan Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Cheers SwissVan Fair's fair - you must tell us your service horror stories. My fave so far was in Malawi where my friend's Range Rover went in manual and came out automatic. That about sums up the stories I have to tell.In all honesty these stories date back to last century...the dark days when TDF was still in small shop in the centre of Benoni (near to where the Lake side mall is now). Probably best to leave things at that. I personally have always had good service from TDF but I know of 3 separate incidents from 3 reliable sources that changed my mind.
SwissVan Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 i understand' date=' it could be possible if the workshop is behind closed doors, but they not, and you can view the workshop and what they doing all the time.[/quote'] What happens if your bike goes in for a few days, you going to stay overnight and watch it, or if it goes for a respray.....

I know what you mean, lucky i haven't been in that situation yet, but it's the same as sending your car into the shop or your wife's ring for resizing, do you know how to tell the clarity of the diamond, sorry just using that as an example, but you have to give some sort of trust, they also have there name to keep up... It's all a matter of trust
SwissVan Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 It's all a matter of trust Yep, and I dont trust the Big Kanoena at TDF
scotty Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Fair i suppose. I doubt there's one retailer, cycle or otherwise that has a 100% customer satisfaction. I can only vouch for my experiences and those which i have heard which have all been good.
scotty Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Yes, Yes Biltong. Well actually no, some people like theirs dry, some a bit wet, so i suppose that if Frans sold biltong there would still be disatisfied customers.
SwissVan Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 He He Scotty.... Biltong might drag some more out of me, real biltong will definetly spill the beans.Now lets see if someone send me 10 kg's worth I could forget for quite a long time...Ah wait damnit... you not allowed to import "fleish" into Europe unless its from Europe ...
MichH Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 OT and onto biltong! Why not make your own? Order one of thoe cute biltong makers, but some fleisch, Google a recipe for herbs and spices and away you go!

scotty Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 At the price of biltong in the shops a few kg worth will cost almost as much as sponsoring Tiny in the cape epic.
Thyolo Posted July 4, 2007 Author Posted July 4, 2007 It is truly gratifying to see my humble thread grow legs and run all day, taxing the minds of senior Hubbers with the debate finding its natural level on ...... ....biltong. c'est la vie as they say on the TdF (but not at Tour de Frans - which is where we came in) Thyolo2007-07-04 08:50:04
SwissVan Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Trust me it is has not been easy keeping quite about the skelms and to stop thinking of SPECIALIZED BILTONG.
