Looking at those retail prices it looks like I actually got a good deal on the Merida scultura evo team frame I bought new for 9k

Nah Mavic Ksyrium Premiums!!!!!

That fork would look nice on your bike ewep.

Now that's some seriaas bling

Relax Shimano components don't scratch easily You should rather get exited about that bush rubbing against the pedals.

Maybe it's not tightened enough

I like the look of the Silverback and it have some nice components. Why not consider the Merida Evo 907 http://www2.merida-bikes.com/en_ZA/Bikes.Detail.39 I just bought the Merida Scultura Evo Team and the frame is super stiff and light.

Ja die "King of Bling" ma hy's mos out of action vi die time being

Presies swart carbon wiele met wit speke :-) wisecrack2008-03-29 05:44:36

Ja maar....

Ek wag vir jou :-) Werk more aand my laaste nagskof dan kan ons enige tyd gaan. Ek sal more saam met die bunch ry vanaf Makro 7am as jy belangstel en dit reen nie. Ouens my geld is nou op vir eers

Thanks just went for my first ride and what can I say..."pure heaven" Really does make for a more comfortable ride with an all carbon frame :-) Now all I need is some race wheels I like the detail on the frame. wisecrack2008-03-30 07:23:17

I think I'll stick to my current Dura Ace group set. Wonder what this will set one back when released?

Well it's his opinion why can he not express it on a public forum Beutifull bike mate.

What group set is that Dura Ace?

At my LBS I see them using grease with a copper tint?

Good news indeed

TRhanks for this windblown.

What difference will this small difference (2.5cm) make to my riding? I am quite tall 1.89m and my old crank(105 grouppo) use to be 1.75. My new Dura Ace crank is 172.5 I havent really notice a difference in power. I have the opportunity to swop my 172.5 crank for a 175, but wondered if this would really make a difference to let's say my climbing on hills taking in account that I'm a tall rider with rather long legs.

Thanks on your thoughts guys. I already paid for the frame so I really hope I made the right choice. Now to wait for the frame to arrive.

wow no thoughts must be a really bad frame :-)

Im buying this frame tomorrow for +- 9k and wanted to know the opinions of fellow hubbers if it's good value for money. it's a full carbon bike btw and here is a link to the bike. Any thoughts of other frames I should consider in my price range. I can also get a Silverback Kansas frame for about a k less ,but I like the look of this frame more. http://www2.merida-bikes.com/en_INT/Bikes.Detail.114

Wow like the photos you mailed me stunning bike

I saw the new Scott speedster at my LBS going for 12k. Nice looking bike and full 105. Should suit your needs well.
