Shebeen Posted October 18, 2019 Share uhm, yea, how do I give you the good news .... for the next 3 or 4 years it is a bike every 12 to 15 months ..... not sure if it gets much better after that. I now need to get the cash together for another bike for Maritz .... and the 24'' is in MINT condition !! Upgraded rear hub, 8 speed, trigger shifters ... ha ha, i know. some of those were plastic bikes...eventually they will be "plastic" bikes!have bought second hand, refurbished and repainted/customised along the way. https://www.decathlon.co.za/1201-scooters?page=2&q=0 Go to decathlon.

The decathlon ones where better than the Sportsmans ones and come pretty close to the pro ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worse than builders where house. Walk in to buy the laaitie rugby shorts and walk out with the whole shop.

ChrisF Posted December 3, 2019 Share If it's anything like uitsig bike park then the price is fine. Which is why I am asking. We started cycling at Hazendal before the revamp and the new pump track. We KNOW they have done a lot for the kids. BUT, previous feedback offered little for adult riders ... dont know if this has improved. And since we have Tygerberg club cards we have multiple other tracks to ride .... So Hazendal really needs to offer something exceptional for BOTH kids and adults to warrent the cost. IF they do, well then I will gladly pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
