  2. it's a bargain in May 2020 money! there are also a few of the AL529's ( only L left though ) that are just R 16500 for GX/RS REBA spec! bike prices are going to be scary going into 2021 ...
  3. and these GP300 Alloy Gravel Bikes at R13995 are a STEAL!!! S, M, L sizes left. Limited stock left.
  4. we're running some unbeatable deals that have some NOS ( new old stock ) bikes at CLEARANCE PRICING as part of our END OF FINANCIAL YEAR SALE. prices were slashed and then RONA arrived! so take the reduced pricing + the R/$ situation and these specs will not be achievable again at these prices!!! some sizes/models all GONE, but we still have some awesome deals going. Carbon 29er Hardtails - R10k discount Alloy 29er Hardtails - R4k off on the AL329 Weekend Warrior etc etc. see what is ON SALE here
  5. Correct They have a special kevlar tip with woven material All the other systems on the market rely on automotive solutions that have been used on a bicycle ... Dont know how to embed a video but here is the PinkBike Review with all you need to know https://m.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-a-new-take-on-the-tire-plug-the-stans-dart.html
  6. it works with ALL SEALANTS - but for the special " 2nd function " it reacts with Stan's Sealant to seal up even quicker than normal.
  7. sorry - those are purchased via Tange and are welded etc at our frame vendor in Taiwan. So we don't have any stock on this side. as mentioned above, they are available in the US etc from some of the smaller frame builders - but price with the Rand is kinda scary at the moment ...
  8. Wow - just wow!!! this bike looks incredible - well done!
  9. thanks for the support - GP500 looks great!!!
  10. thanks guys - nice to see some LOVE for our Cromo/Steel hardtails. some recent pics of the ST-F ( which is the FIXED DROPOUT - no sliders - version ). Limited stock in all sizes left at R 5,995 incl VAT>
  11. Zane has been doing some really cool bike packing adventures with his ULTRA. We'll be sharing more of this over the coming weeks - next ULTRA newsletter etc.
  12. sorry, can't post all of them in 1 post, so here are the rest :
  13. Hi Guys, just some pics we took at the race registration last week --- so awesome to see the amount of VIPA's ( some old, some new ) on the startline. well done to all the riders -- each and every one of you are LEGENDS!!!! interesting to note how the bike setups have evolved over the past 3 years in terms of setup / bags / cockpit etc. please feel free to add to this thread if you rode the event or even just have a VIPA . we love seeing our bikes being put to good use like this!!!
  14. awesome to read this - would love to see a pic of the bike with the ShockStop stem fitted etc.
  15. in Cape Town and keen to see our GP300 sample bike? chat to your local dealer - our Sales Rep ( Brad Stowe ) has a sample with him at the moment and is showing it around to the Western Cape Stores. Give us a Call on 041-3721418 for assistance - we’ll put you in contact with a shop!
  16. awesome - tks guys. the main challenge will be our numbers for sure. comments about colors - it was our 2017 range that really sucked! the 2018 and 2019 stuff is alot better but unfortunately you don't see them in many shops ... but agree 2017 we did not do ourselves any favors! the 2020 range is about to get updated on the site -- colors are VERY MUCH ON POINT --- we are not a niche brand in anyway so we have to respect the good old 80/20 rule for that. we have to do 100 frames minimum to justify this kind of project -- so if we split it over 3 sizes it is just over 30 per size --- a tough ask in the current climate. but let's see. Next question -- anyone seen the really cool new Evil Gravel Bike? ( some spy pics popping up on Radavist etc ) I really like that bike! what about a MONSTER CROSS GRAVEL bike? is that not more where things are going for SA riding? would love to do something in that space ...
  17. wooohoo - that looks great, well done!!! we've had these frames in stock for 2.5 years! pity they are not as popular as we would have hoped - but seeing these builds and how awesome they can be " interpreted " it really makes us want to UPDATE it for 2021 --- the biggest challenge is the cost/development/tooling on frames require a certain MOQ to be achieved for it to be viable. out of interest, what would you guys like to see in a MY21 version of the ST-R? ( actually the above bike is a ST-F with Fixed Dropout ) some questions: 1. ST-R or ST-F 2. keep 29er? 3. Head Angle? 4. How many Frame Sizes ... comment above about how a MODERN GEO frame can work with smaller " t-shirt label size " is very true - some brands even do 1 SIZE per model - you might lose the fringe sizes but the majority of the market will suit a GOOD MEDIUM frame? 5. Tyre Size 6. Rim Width - this effects tyre size in terms of outer diameter and clearance 7. Price in Rands that would make it interesting ... Regards, Victor
  18. Hi Guys, it's GRAVEL MANIA and we're running some really good specials on our 2019 range of GRAVEL BIKES. for those wanting to dip their toes in the game -- we have the GP300 Alloy model at just R 15,995! a true Gravel Plus ( hence the GP model ) model that can fit 700x40C or 27.5 x 2.1 Offroad Tyres with thru-axles front and rear and the excellent Tektro Spyre Mechanical Discs ( favored over entry level Hydro's by the Gravel crowd! ) for those wanting something a bit more high-end/lighter we have the R355 ONE Carbon --- our most affordable Carbon Gravel model to date with Shimano 2x11 105 Drivetrain and a Toray Carbon Frame and Fork with Flatmount Disc and Thru-Axles front and rear. Ideal for that "split-personality" bike --- run it with OFFROAD or ROAD wheels ... These models are NON-EXCLUSIVE meaning they are available to any bike shop in SA - not just our regular MOMSEN Stockists!!!! your local bike shop just needs to give us a call to order your bike/size etc. we also make them available DIRECT from our Website -- the link to the range and spec / sizing can be found here feel free to contact us directly on 041-3721418 ( Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm ) for queries or technical/sizing assistance.
  19. the V1 dates back to a time when 2.1 was KING and the idea of a 2.35 on a Stage Race/Marathon / XCO bike seems crazy. The original V1 frames were on the market in around 2012? so a good +5 years in terms of MTB trends. the newer ST-R and ST-F are more 2017 onwards in terms of their geo and design. will there be a 2020 ... ?
