Couch Pics with The Hub at Africa Cycle Fair

By BikeHubCoreAdmin · 66 comments

Attention Hubbers, especially those Gautengian fellows, the couch has been christened, opening it for all your lovely rides and all the fantastic eye candy about here. And what a beaut it is to start with.

Can.t find the !@#$% place .So left .No indication where blue hlls equestrian estate is

 

Easy to find if you looked on the map, 5kms north of kyalami on the R55. Also if you googled it you would find it no hassles

The ever popular Vipa slithered onto our couch. There were some formidable queues today to test this one out.

 

And a super-secret prototype carbon mudguard made locally...

(This one is actually made for a Fox fork)

Fugi SST.... great lines, hot bike!

 

Fuji are very underrated bikes.

 

Their bikes ride and handle very well.

Contraband Rogue. New Reynolds steel frames. Adjustable BB, and absolutely beautiful to ride! It's got mostly Hope and Spank components, but they do custom builds to your spec.

'Adjustable' BB?... As in an eccentric BB I presume...

Surly Moonlander. 4" tyres and a rack up front for your beer.

Grants little toy. It's even cooler in the flesh!

Yes yes, apologies. It was a long day.

 

And another to go! Last chance to try out one of the awesome bikes about. Got on a Yeti SB95 at the end of yesterday, had a blast. Definitely one to try out.

We dared Danger Dassie to a plank. We left him there to test his core strength.

Here's a unique one. The Whyte 146.

It's a lot lighter than expected.

Would you pay more than a Smarties box for it?

Hope brakes were not scarce.

Those levers are fantastic; short, precise and the holes are damn grippy.
