The Arms Race - Update I

This past Saturday afternoon 'Pa had most of the boys for his House Warming Braai. It turned out to be an expensive braai for Tubs.

Tubs: (jealous) eish, no wonder I kan't beat ju guys, LOOK at all these sabbaths!!!
BObbie: (organizing) is not a problem, I can sort you out with a "training program".
Lani: (ups the ante) and I can sort ju out with a "training bike"!
Tubs: (excited) how maach?
Lani: (matter of factly) R ******.**.
Tubs: (fooled) done & done.
Tub's other half: (warning) how are we supposed to afford that?!!!
Tub's: (pleading) but babes, it's not like our kids ever gonna graduate form high school, we can use the college fund!!
Tub's other half: (fuming) and I will sort ju out when you get home!


Tub's "Red Devil", Scott Addict R2, Shitmano Ultegra 6700 and Easton EA 90SL.

And BObbie's new training partner, the 1885!!! BObbie's Alu 1885 is equipped with Campagnolo Anthena 11 speed and Campagnolo Eurus with puncture proof tubeless Hutchinson Fusions.

BObbie: (sticks a star on his forehead) BObbie baby, with stars! Goatie: (wala wala) BMX saddle for a comfy steel ride!  Papa: (sarcastic) People who drinks cement milk shakes don't ride with saddles... and I drink cement milk shakes...
