rad006

oh just buy my mates bike for R3500 no price fixing here hahaha

I went from XT to LX I see no difference besides saving R200

is that all u prepared to spend though???

Dual is softer and more forgiving.... Why dont u buy a better specced 2nd hand bike for that price???

Moddified MED Anthem 1 of mine =11.9kg and I can easily drop 300gr off with dumping the mudguard... If u want a cheap value for money light bike then the Anthem is the only way to go.... U can have mine for 24k with all the extrasrad0062009-05-14 14:32:15

Price???

R300 to powder coat now to find other shops and paint places and work out the cheapest

Hahah

Its the long weekend and broken hand im worried about.... I dunno I still feel like sandblasting is the way to go....... maybe then im forced to powdercoat it...

Then what do u suggest sandpaper???

Am I doing something wrong??? I froze a normal bannana and it doesn`t taste special does it only work for vrot bannana??

Thanks Ian

Ok so sandblast then prime right away... but now is there a different primer ie steel to alu???

So u saying dont prime BOS???

Thanks Capricorn Cos there will be a delay between sandblasting and painting and im worried that if I dont prime it then I will have some serious issues later down the road

But is Powder Coating better??? Its on an HT so no bearings to worry about and little scraping needed.... I mean whats more tough

Oh also should I paint or powdercoat if its going to be 1 colour???

Hi Guys Im rebuilding a bike for a mate and need to strip his old paintwork is it ok to just sandblast the frame??? Also seeming as its alu and its rusts on contact with air do I need to prime it right away after sandblasting??? If so is there a special primer or can I just use normal metal primer???ie that brown/redish stuff Bike will be painted with normal 2k afterwards so would like to know if my thinking is fine

Save Money buy my anthem

Cant go wrong with anthem it flies. The new X1 isnt so racy though.... Buy mine I will give u some added extras https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=50303&PID=775577#775577

https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=50303&PID=775577#775577 PLus a nice extra if he contacts me

Why dont you just put a 400mm seatpost on the small thats what I did and it worked out great.

So whats the outcome the measurements fake??? Does the frame look smaller at least??? I had a small frame before and now my med is def bigger... Cant measure now though sorry

Agreed....
