Couch Pics with The Hub at Africa Cycle Fair

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.

I posted a photo a while back of a Stevens with a similar build 7.9kg and was 8000 euros.

hmmmm.......not that impressive considering what the weight would be once you slap on a suspension fork, pedals, cage and proper tyres etc.

 

but I like it when brands bring something different to a show....

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

It all started around 2005 when a certain Hubber took a photo of a bike he wanted to sell neatly placed in front of a swanky looking couch. Needless to say the couch in these pics got more attention than the bike and a tradition was born.

Let's not forget the one hubber who was also selling his love life on the couch ...... what ever happened to that thread!
