7:00 at fountains tomorrow? Meet in groenkloof parking, who's coming?

Really? I suppose someone should tell this to the BMX guys and the trial guys. My carbon rigid have taken plenty of abuse off jumps, and drops, and is still fine. I actually find the rigid more fun, the front end is so light, it's super easy pop my wheel over trail obstacles, or do a quick manual our of a corner etc.

For sure! But a 29er HT is softer than a 26 HT. Which makes it the better marathon bike if your not looking at full suspension. What's better for marathon racing? a HT with top of the range wheels, or a full suspension with mediocre wheels? Price wise they should be about the same.

Organ Grinder and sections on Zombie birdhouse is...interesting on a SS

How about the XC course in Fountains on saterday?

You were on the red inbred?

How about another SS ride?

hahah my bad.

Awesome footage off a GoPro HERO cam of a crash at the Epic http://www.slowcyclist.com/cycling/mountain-biking/hectic-cape-epic-crash-footage/

DS as in Dual suspension? If so, I would stick with gears

There is a Santa Cruz Tallboy alu version on it's way...I would wait for that, should be significantly cheaper than the carbon one.

Around 33km/h if I push it

It's so pretty for a DJ bike I would be afraid to bin it off a jump.

It's defiantly one of the more ugly frames out there, the weird bend it makes just looks strange to me. But then that's my personal taste. As far as the bike goes, it's right there with most of the other brands. Look at the Santa Cruz Tallboy and Niner bikes as well.
