Where can i hook one of those babies up BL...?

Obviously the mudguard is functional, but it also sets the bike apart from just about every other MTB i see on the trails, which is actually the point. A shroud (well the only one i like, made by THE) doesn't fit properly without butchering it because of the cable running along the tube being in the way... The rims are Sun Ringle MTX's...

And fpr you perverts who wanna see my couches...

Some pix of my rig...

Both Groenkloof and Fountains are in a totally fenced off nature reserve, you're more likely to get held up by a giraffe than snoobab... Awesome, safe place to ride...

Rather take the frame to a good powder coater (KC powder coaters in tulisa park). They can use a chemical stripper as opposed to any kind of blasting. I have a lot of my mx quad's soft ally parts powder coated and they won't blast them.

Don't want the superlight instead, want it ASWELL...! Love the Teocali, just put a set of camo MTX rims on it with hope pro2 hubs, skewers and rotors. Thing is it now weighs a ton, so i'd like to use it more for my freeriding, like the obstacles on the spruit and logwood n mankele type riding where i can use all the travel n put it thru it's paces down rocky descents and drop-offs etc. Want the Superlight for xc and marathon/stage racing. I'm kinda new to the sport and plan on entering some of the Sabie and Sani2C type events, and having a lighter bike is always nice. Plus you can never have too many toys...

How'd u hook up a red 1 Mampara...?

There isn't another person i'd buy a bike from or even allow close to my bikes with a spanner/multitool other than Mike, and of course his trusty sidekick Jason. Bought my Teocali Super there n have had nothing but excellent service and advice from him. In fact he planted the Superlight seed in my brain... Shot for all the advice peeps, definately spoken me into it, will post a pic when it's in my posession...

Not a Giant fan... Did they sort out the sus problem on the Marathon...?

What i'm actually thinking of doing is buying a mongoose meteore team hardtail as a donor bike, and shifting all the components to a superlight frame (it comes with an RP23 shock anyway). Done the math n it'll still work out cheaper than the GT, plus i'll be left with a spare hardtail frame should i ever feel the need to build it up, or i can try sell it... This sound logical...? The GT is one helluva sexy bike tho, and i do quite like my Shimano over SRAM...

GT Marathon Team OR Santa Cruz Superlight with full SRAM XO (except front derailleur, X9), Sram noir team carbon cranks, avid juicy ultimates, FOX100RLC...? Anybody own the GT...? What do you have to say about it...? Any1 ridden 1 n think it's ***...? Comments please...? Comments on the superlight...?
