Just a quick shout out to Titan (and Cycle Lab) for the tremendous service I received when arranging a demo of the Skyrim... I sent an email to their info address and within 20 minutes had a response from Robbie. After that Evert was straight onto making a plan for me to try the bike, ending up with them unpacking a brand new one, shipping it down to Cycle Lab Paarl, culminating in a Friday afternoon delivery. The bike was fully set up, including fork and shock pressures, and straight onto the mountain No pressure at all from their side to return it quickly - I had two weeks to really get to grips with it, although I did end up not keeping it. Really lovely ride, and superb value for money, but I just couldn't get on with current generation SRAM transmission - shifting under load is nice, but I can't dump gears quick enough for my riding style (clearly I should improve my style then). Either way - what great service from everyone involved and such a tempting bike.

That is quite a coincidence Looks like we are all thinking along similar lines here - nice research project for now, hopefully to turn into a reality soon !

So I haven't seen this asked in a while - what would be a maximum local content (i.e. manufactured in ZA) build for a down country / trail bike ? The thinking is to build around a Pyga Mobu frame, but it would be great to hear opinions on how far the rest can go. Between cSixx and South Industries we could definitely get wheels, some drivetrain and a fair bit of finishing kit done. Note sure how much of their portfolio Lyne builds locally (e.g. their droppers), and of course I am definitely missing others.
