  1. got both, both have good and bad points, im enjoying my 29er at the moment
  2. exactly, and look how the pavement has cracked from where his head hit
  3. Yip around 25k, agents can't release official price yet
  4. all over it like a fat kid and chocolate cake
  5. yeah its carbon
  6. 30k for a Ali 29er? Sure it has xx but don't see the point of it on that bike? For that price you could build a momsen, niner and a few other carbon framed bikes with a decent groupo , not xx but if you only have 30 k to spend xx is the last group set to Concider I built a niner air carbon, full x9, american classic tubless wheels and finished with decent components for around 30k
  7. I somehow managed to drop from 105 to 96 without knowing it. Had a few comments from friends that I had lost weight, thought they were just pissed! Stood on the scale and down 9kgs , think I had neem trying to hard and watching the scale too much before
  8. if I am not mistaken the body can only absorb 40g of protein at any one time, the rest is flushed. Might need to spread the protein over more meals, but I am no expert, just rememeber this being the rule from the old gym days
  9. some more here http://reviews.mtbr.com/niner-bikes-new-carbon-jet-9-rdo
  10. My name on the list already for one of these bad boys! Suspension design just been patented after 4 or 5 years of waiting
  11. yo! looks like the seat post was an after-thought, "oh **** we forgot to add a seat, dont worry, we will just drill a hole and put it here!"
  12. I should not have read this! lucky I have not seem any snakes at Groenkloof but believe there is a + 4m rock python who shows up every couple of monthsssss
  13. I might have an entry available if you miss this one
  14. go and have a look at Complete cyclist in Bryanston, they sell them. nice bikes
  15. oh ok now Im with you, that little bit that sticks out with the thread inside?
  16. you could drill two very small holes on the other side of the frame and see if you can pull the waterbottle cage holes out of the small holes you drilled? what you going to do with the holes when you have them out?
  17. so you want to take the holes out of the frame?
  18. judging by the picture of Simon it looks like that is exactly what he got
  19. niner air or momsen
  20. well done guys!!
  21. Too many people were getting Teaked- off with the bad service
  22. ahh the memories! I had a mongoose and diamondback bmx, even had a skyway with lekker white mag type wheels
  23. If I remember correctly Full Dynamics was one of the few brands that is still made in Italy (100% made) I have also noticed a large number of catalog bikes being rebranded and trying to get sold for alot more than than what the catalog price is. I guess the question is how "Brand" loyal people are. Seems like people would rather spend the extra money on a well known brand for a bike/frame than on a less known brand with the same quality frame/bike. I was a Spez guy through and through, thought other brands quality etc were inferior so never even looked at other brands untill looking for A 29er. when I could not get a Spez due to stock not being available I looked at Niner and was so impressed I got one and have a second on the way.
