What size shoe are you looking for, I have two pairs of size 43 MTB shoes that dont fit nicely. Shimano spd for R500 (Brand new) and Addidas (not the best condition) for R300.

Boon: Thanks mate, size 10 I'm looking for.

 

Mark: I like their cycling shirts, and bought compression top serving as base layer for those cold winter rides, but for the rest? BLegh

 

Those SIDI shoes look awesome, but a bit above my price range at the moment.

Loving my olympics great value for money, just remember they are big so if you wear a 10 get a 9

Ja ja ja Gerhard, ek weet...in the bigger scheme of things, an extra R200 would not have made a difference! So I will get the olympics today!!

 

On a completely different note: That Thule Clip-on bike rack maybe was a bit pricy but the service from the salesman was EXCELLENT, and it's so easy to attach to boot lid and easy to take of and store

I also have one of those bike racks. They take the paint off the part of the car where the rack sits so be very careful. Keep an eye on it. I now just put my bike in the back of my car. The damage is already done to my car. It is not a pretty sight.

The only thing I've bought from them that has not been crap are their cycling tops. Very nice and warm for winter - got an Anatomic top I use in summer.

Don't understand the comment on Thule rack being expensive. Last year I priced them against other brands and it came down to a R100 randt note difference.

 

Still want to get a Thule clip on but after Top Fuels comment I might reconsider.

I just bought Olympics at Sportsmans in Fourways on the weekend. On special from R599 down to R499.

I did have to buy one size smaller to fit nicely.
