Time for everyone to get over who rides what and just enjoy the ride on whatever you are riding. Fat old toppies with dodgy knees are just out there on their ebikes to have fun, not to tell everyone they beat you to the line. Focus on your own enjoyment, not what bike they are riding.

Momsen str9 build. First ride yesterday.

If an ebike allows people to ride in places with people they couldnt otherwise, then its a good thing. I had a life changing accident on a bicycle 3 years ago, and an ebike will allow me to do the things i used to do. I will be sharing the trails with my mates on an ebike.

I have an entry to the 100 that I am not using.

I have alloy Salsa Cowchippers. Very comfortable.

I run 3 bar on gravel and 4 on tar on my 40c's

Pitchas for you Hairy Broken Tibial Plateau (Knee) in a very insignificant fall in Lesotho. Three ops later and a knee replacement scheduled for next month.

That's like losing a child. Sorry mate. hope you get it back.

That is the most beautiful bike i've ever seen

So sorry about the Knee Rudi. I broke my tibial plateau 14 months ago on a bicycle. If you need any info or advice let me know. If i can give you one piece of advice, make sure you have the best knee surgeon available.

Bought from Monark and now ready to ride again.

Selling on the hub poses some challenges when selling frames wheels or complete bikes out of town. The Postnet to Postnet option is great at R100 but you are limited to the size of the package you can send. I used Express Online Couriers today to ship a frame and fork from Pretoria to Durban. The 3 day option cost me R201. Worth a look. www.xoc.co.za (i am not related to anyone there!) I

Check out my Niner ROS 9 above. That will take 27.5 Plus tires. It would make a great bike.

Would love to be there mate, but off the bike for a few months after a nasty crash. Next time. Interested to see your bag, i want one for my inbred.

Looks like you've done a very good job there. Im in for one when they're available. Are you going to do a frame bag too?

Thanks DBI prefer not to remember what everything cost! But around the R25k mark. Quite pricey but hugely satisfying building it exactly like you want it. Let me know if you want more specific build detail.
