Hey Guys! I haven't been on here in years and I've now got a Chinese Carbon hardtail 29er frame that I'm lookimg to respray quite simply (gloss black) to build. Who in CT can do this well, cost effectively and fast? Cant wait to have this ready to roll and hit the trails again. Cheers Sam

CWC had the alero ones... Not sure if they still do, but no longer on their website. You need the 12mm shimano style axle which is threaded with a nut on the end as the frame isnt threaded.

Sweet! Once of deal or is there a particular seller to look at?

Yeah, actually go for it with the screwdriver, missed the cut out.

Its called a crown race, rather get a new one from your LBS, too much hassle to remove them without damaging them. Unless you or your LBS have a tool called a crown race puller.

This thread feels like explaining emotions to Sheldon Cooper... Troll off

Thanks for the replies guys! Hunter cycling looks awesome and will PM you Kona Cheers

Looking for an old school type fixie and SS shop in Gauteng... You know like a shop run by ou ballies who ride nothing without chrome, lugs and brazing... Any ideas or is this just a fantasy???

Frames usually go for about $500-650 What did you pay for it? Sorry to hear! Hope you get sorted with the lying seller!

Thanks Flowta, Looking for a large to even a medium really. Will PM you

Hi Guys, Looking For a Cheapish Road SS for my Brother who is a student in Stellenbosch. Haven't found anything on the classifieds... He has about R2000 to spend. Anyone looking to sell anything? I would build one up, but due to him coming home to JHB in 2 weeks and wanting to have a bike when he is back down there, I don't have time to get everything... Cheers Sam

That is one super HOT colour!

Sometimes manufacturers try to cut costs or are very lazy when they build bikes, for example I have seen a lot of the Specialized BB30s ship new from the factory without so much as the trace of grease on the outer race nor in the frame. And subsequently started creaking from slight tolerance issues. Try re-grease and reinstall first, I wouldn't want CAP that close to my expensive bearings and their seals....

Please send me the DXF! I got one of your okes in trouble with my last order... Bosses were nooot happy at all.would like to avoid getting him stuck in any further....

They do have a 650b frame, or do you want a 26er which in interchangeable? http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/html_products/2013-Super-Light-650B-Frame-291.html
