gideon, it are an IXS. but it are a girly toppir - they won't have it in your size :roll:

Witch make me ask the question - Is a DS bike a DS bike how its been designed, or how its ridden ?

I believe it isnt about even having a DS bike its the ADVENTURING.
The Bikes is just a major PLUS.
Even having a person on a road bike doing all possible roads around the country some dirt if possible would also be a adventure.
I say so because we have people on fully BLINKED DS bikes that never touches sand and river crossings and mud and all those nice things.

From Bikerpat's blog.

?In a car you are always in a compartment, and because you?re used to it, you don?t realize that everything you see through that car window is just more TV. You?re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a (motor) cycle the frame is gone. You?re completely in contact with it all. You?re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming." - Robert M. Pirsig

On the way back to Stellenbosch via the Klapmuts road - I just had to stop and take a picture (now I just need to upgrade to the Pro version of my software to get that "Photographer Shadow Removal" tool)
