  3. Unfortunately for you guys this is a Cycle Factory initiative in partnership with Rocky Mountain. Speak to your LBS to try and arrange something similar or move to Cape Town and come hang with the cool kids!
  4. Great! Looks like it's going to be a great out on the bikes.
  5. With Permission: 2.43kg of pure bike porn
  6. Only saw this thread now. If you guys are not sorted yet give us a call or drop me a PM then we'll get in touch. We have some specials going and can ship anywhere in sunny South Africa
  7. To discuss some options please feel free to give us a call or drop me a PM then we'll get in touch with you.
  8. True. We have learned to counter this by piling up some essential stock before the Argus and Epic. Chains, bottle cages, lube...lots of stuff runs out the week or two before and then we too get stuck. Noting the trends and then planning ahead is the name of the game.
  9. At one stage we were worried that this thread will go on for several pages before there'll be actual pics posted...not any more!
  10. Cycle Factory along with Rocky Mountain will have a demo day at Delvera on the 27th of May. For more info about the bikes and other logistics please visit our website: http://www.cyclefactory.co.za/Bicycle/bicycle-demo-day.html This is your chance to ride before you buy. Hope to see you all there. http://www.cyclefactory.co.za/images/banners/Capture.gif
  11. Yes, we do. Happens a couple of times a month that we have to send a bike to some far-off place thanks to our crazy prices!
  12. If you scroll through the pics on this link you'll see your pee yellow one in the background.. http://road.cc/conte...urface-clothing Third pic from the left top row. One could say that we are as excited as you to build the new King of Trails!
  13. Some good news: Charge will be offering a custom saddle builder via their website. From what we can gather it's not up and running yet, but will be soon. If we don't get our hands on one of those on your option list this might be a killer way to go. Can't say we don't try...
  14. Will get on it from our side. This is your one week stage call...
  15. Won't work. Chances are you're in the sweet spot of most Medium frames 17" - 18" depending on brand.
  16. We have a couple of MTB's in your price range. Give us a call or pop in then we can discuss your options and nice price.
  17. Another view: http://prollyisnotprobably.com/old/assets_c/2010/08/Charge_Surface-PINP-thumb-500x500-97.jpg
  18. We need to source you one of these I say http://www.evanscycles.com/product_image/image/ec8/055/98a/50519/product_page/charge-limited-edition-surface-spoon-saddle.jpg
  19. You can contact us via PM as well then we'll let you know when we have a beginners group ride. We have one at least once every month and if all works out we'll have some Rocky Mountains to try on the next one.

  20. From a shop's point of view: They are both great. What's even better is from X5 to X0 and SLX to XTR you get good performance, feel and reliability. Which means if you don't have the money or weight is not the biggest concern you can go cheaper and not suffer like in the good old days. You'll notice that I've left XX out as it's sometimes tricky to get it working 100% on some bikes. Which one do we have to work the most on? Shimano. Without a doubt. Needs frequent TLC to keep it happy and a lot more customers suffer with Shimano with CT's winter mud, sludge and rain than SRAM. Ride what you like and can afford all the way, just know that we don't work on or own 1 or 2 or even 5 bikes. We see more than that on any given day go though our workshop. There's a very good reason why SRAM outsell Shimano AM.
  21. "Dans asof niemand kyk nie..."
  22. Yes? Posting a comment on a pic not allowed?
  23. Have received a CV or two, thanks. Keep 'em coming.
