'Dale Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Dreaming about a Cannondale Super Six for a lil' while now. Then noticed this beauty when Sylvian Chavanel was hurting the chasing bunch during his 1st stage win..My head is definitely turned by the Mercx stable of iron horses. Hmmm... Are they available in SA? http://cdn.media.cyclingnews.com/2010/09/07/1/eddy_merckx_emx_5_full_view_600.jpg
'Dale Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Any Hubbers have one? What's she laaik?
Spat Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I have seen a few at Chis Willemse, very nice bikes.
MariusL Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Yip - they are available in SA. they were advertised on the inside cover of the latest Bicycling mag... and they apparently get a lot of R&D input from Pinarello. BUT - I'd rather have a 'Dale
splat Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 They are VERY nice and not cheap.Our MTN Energade team ride them John O'Connor Cycles stock them (along with Cannondale) The EMX-7 will be a stunner when it comes out!

Vinnydabutcher Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 National Cycles - Ingo Check them out at www.nationalcycles.co.za I think. They look as good as Mrs. The Butcher! I`m not going to state the obvious next comment!
LeTurbo Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 My head is definitely turned by the Mercx stable of iron horses. That is NOT an iron horse. That is a PLASTIC horse. Try Rashid at Queens Cycles in Pretoria - www.queens.co.za for Merckx
'Dale Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 They were advertised at around R35-40k if I remember correctly...Yeah, MariusL, that is what I imagine paying for my next fiets... B)

bontie Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 As far as I know the agency has gone to emotion cycling - the same guys that do cervelo and volcan. National cycles now imports Ridley...
splat Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I see that Campy is listed on National Cycles.I thought J&J did that exclusively?
pastapouch Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 dont' put "her" into a sentence with head turning... I was expecting a cute girl you've seen, now its a bicycle! uRG.
