  1. Drool material. Awesome looking frame!!
  2. I shop around a lot for the best deal. I get good deals from Evobikes, this specific conversion was done by Attitude Cycles. Look, I battled for the first few rides to get used to the whole concept. Having said that, my fitness needed some upgrade. I have done my research and all of it pointed toward the 32T up front to be the golden all round way to go. I must admit, you would run out of gears on road riding. I personally stay off the roads and only do trails. There is a conversion called the General Lee conversion. That would bump up your cassette to a 42. Pricey though. Evobikes do have stock of this conversion for SRAM. Check it out here: http://www.evobikes.co.za Give Flandria a shout as well. I spoke to the guys there a few weeks ago and they were researching the same thing as what you are concerned about.
  3. Hi, I was in a similar situation. I wanted to "simplify". Cost me R2500, fitted. Running a 11-36 cassette. X7 derailer 32T wolf tooth up front X7 shifter 10spd chain I will upgrade to a x9 clutch derailer sometime, not necessary, more an itch... Extremely happy with the setup. Less clutter, cleaner look and less to worry about when shifting in general. Best of all, I get the same enjoyment for around R10k less.
  4. I have had similar experiences with Marc. Always friendly and willing to help and advise. Big up to Marc!!
  5. Get yourself a Kask Mojito from Evobikes. Genuinely THE most comfortable helmet I have ever worn!! I forget I'm wearing a helmet when I have it on. They have it at a very good price. http://www.evobikes.co.za/kask-mojito-helmet-white.html Speak to Janos.
  6. Agreed!!!!!!!!
  7. Unfortunately some of their comments of how cyclists ride on the road are true. Some cyclists ride 2 or sometimes 3!! abreast and make it virtually impossible to pass at 1.5m. They will however get a dislike from me for their comments about our attire.
  8. Normally the warranty is not carried over to the second owner (Not just Giant specific).
  9. Hi Hubbers, Is there anyone in the Durbanville (WC) area that owns a SC Highball that I can have a look at? Really like the frame, bit worried about the geometry.
