Well it didn't fall apart ????

'It looks fast' ... hoping that was a compliment from a track rider and not a slight on the rider's ability to ride ????

Good looking. Been looking at getting a dedicated track bike for some time, I'm liking the Giant Omnium very much, but they are uncommon and when they come on the market, it's R12k+.

That’s a trope-load of visual affectation. Thanks for the laughs mate.

Can’t beat South African gravel riding ????

A bit like a sore dick, right? You just can’t beat it.

Easy ride with the missus yesterday, she wasn’t feeling it, so we took it real easy. 
I had a bit of an incident where As I took a small jump, my left foot came out of the cleat (I know, I did lots wrong, that was just a unfortunate result of my silliness) as I was launching off the dirt…I knew the landing was going to be an issue. 
Not quite sure what happened, but I guess, I landed with my ass on the saddle, which in turn snapped my seatpost clean off at the seat tube clamp.

I ended up having my knee and shin attacked by my pedal, which as we all know, is nice and painful.

My right hamstring made contact with the spinning rear tyre, and thank goodness for my indola baggies, which got a nice tyre burn on, and saved my skin. 
 

Now my seatpost has been stuck in the frame for a number of years (steel and ally) and I guess now, I have a reason to remove it without saving it.

Before the carnage…

Still enjoying my ride…

I stood riding all the way back to the car, and I must say I did not expect the dropper post experience in this way…
