Now that's cool, I'm really jealous. Let us know how she rides. That's the bike us Capies can buy from Cross Town for 5 to 6K (can't remember exact amount, getting old).

in case you're wondering what it is:

 

Its kinda like a bicycle, except it doesnt have gears? Why would you want to ride that?? Its like taking the gearbox out of your car

Long Cranks for a Track Bike? And Why the Brakes?

it gives some options to the buyer - so you could use it as a commuter too. brakes are gonna come off tonight. it's also got a flip-flophub at the back - one side fixed, the other a freewheel

Cool, now you can track stand at the lights and lay down some rubber with long power skids, all while avoiding the taxis on your way to work. Best manoeuvre for the latter is to bunny hop onto the pavements taking care not to wipe out any pedestrians. This is hardcore territory.

Most men and some donkeys?

[The Guy in Pink]

About a million years ago I took my track bike into College , (next to Park Station)  from Modderfontein.

Coming back I decided to avoid Louis Botha Avenue at Rush hour without brakes so I went down Sylvias ass . . .  I Made the corner at the bottom .. just.

Louis Botha Avenue was just great way back when. The Traffic did not move at all , so you could zipp along between the cars.   Death Bend was called that from the Time I was in Primary school. Then it had Tram tracks to trip bikes.
