I didn't want to link the entire thread (it is epic!) about a guy who travels throughout the African continent with his surfboard. However, starting on page 6 (where I linked) and through page 7, the guy's friend met him in S. Africa and bought a Bashan Xplode (we don't have that model here, and with a name like that, I can see why!? ) and rode over 5000 miles from S. Africa to Zanzibar or Tanzania (not sure if they took the ferry?!). The only problem he had was a chain that stretched beyond what was useful, and the wheel was as far back as it would go. The part up to where he sold the bike is on page 7. The point is, his friend 'just went for it' and had few issues riding 5k miles in the African continent, and was able to sell it (not sure how much). Anyway, the part where they bought the bike in S. Africa is post 88.
