I can get the Tallboy Carbon or aluminium for R25000 & R20000 respectively in the US ( price inc vat and shipping to SA) Worth the slep to build up the bike on this end at these prices?

Thats Vincent that told me you can buy it on a "hope it works for you" apparently it will only be here in "summer" which is anything from November till next year April! Not ideal business model

Hey guys, has anyone seen or ridden a Bulls dual 29er yet? According to the importer, "you can buy one on special order" .... Mmmmm yes I really want to buy a bike I can see before-hand or know the price. The Official site lists the XT version at 2999 Euro.

Heard the Spez shocks maintenance is also a rather frequent and steep occurance!

Hey guys, looking at 29er dueler, so far Specialized Epic comp or Santa Cruz Tallboy. Question is, is it worth an additional R10 k on both bikes for carbon version? 1: i'm not tiny- 1.88m 100kg 2: like throwing bikes down trails 3: realize carbon frames are more zippy than alum, so weight is not my concern 4: take the alum and upgrade wheelset and parts with the 10k difference??

- what would the advantages be and technical aspects to keep in mind if you buy a 1.5 Tapered shock- would a Fox F32 100 1.5 tapered fit similar to the standard?
