Just love the Spanish, they don`t stress. Siesta priority, would rather work late than start early. Very affectionate bunch, hugs is the norm. Miss my Spanish friends! Unno I would never be able to afford, but working on that Orbea!

You forgot the new bikes! Factor nogal.

Different carbon and layup the frame, frd is their top-end racing bike for the the Pro`s. In the frame description, reference to Ultimate. Bit I am totally with you and agree, only difference being I will buy one Ultegra bike and two trips to France/Italy/Spain/Andorra to cycle.

I am excited for you. I hope the process and finale Unno will be worth it. Even the shipping box and bubble wrap looks exclusive. Been eyeing the Unno the last three years, finally I sort of know some one than owns one.

Wayne Dangerholm project, inspiration to through the college fund in! https://m.pinkbike.com/news/building-the-worlds-lightest-29er-dh-bike.html Can’t wait for his spark build with integrates cables, he is 2 years busy with that project.

Can`t some one with connection in the bike industry put a few brands on this guy, forget about McGyver, Vinnie, Chuck even Arnold, Rouxenator will survive them all. If I recall it is flats and takkies? More traction than a pimp Signal at Epic or dealer visit`s in the Platteland. Ps. I Trust you are healthy, but do not value your life as much, candidate for life policy?

Rouxenator, you are a great candidate for one of the "local" affordable bike brands, Signal, Titan Racing and Sunrace or Mircoshift to sponsor, to show the longevity of their products.

Marrick safari’s in Kimberley, have not use their routes.

You can perhaps think of incorporating the blue of the brakes and the red/orange of the hubs into the paint scheme, keeping it classy with the gloss carbon and gold Unno branding. Will give my two front teeth and left ball to be in your position, enjoy!

Those EE wings crank a no no, not even on a TI bike.

Wayne, some inspiration. https://cyclingtips.com/2019/08/bikes-of-the-bunch-unno-aora-worlds-lightest-mountain-bike-frame/

Did look at Alchemy, the Arktos ST is stil 130 travel at the rear paired with 130/140 in front.

In my racing dae het ek die klim na die sateliet toring by Boomrivier geklim, in die middel tussen Upt en Groblershoop. Op die bergfiets klim ons Tierkop in Keimoes.

Agree 100%. If you can get on a Unno, that would be 100% first and best choice.

Running out of options that is unique. Perhaps the MMR https://www.mmrbikes.com/catalog/product/view/id/973/s/kenta-29/category/193/?version=970 Seems like it can be a catalogue bike. Allebike from Sweden. https://www.allebike-sports.com/shop/Allebike/Marathon_FS

Not sure what version I test rode back in 2015, was dual suspension, 29er, and although the ride was soft in a good way, way to much bob and flex in the rear to my liking.

Also had a look at Bold this afternoon, but to much travel for Wayne. Bold was bought by Scott last year, would be interesting to see if some of the tech is used between brands.

The guy behind Unno, Cesar, did some early design for Mondraker on the long slack geo.

Was a bit strange to see the new Farr framesets on international sites with not a lot of coverage on Bikehub, with the history of direct marketing and comms.

My final options. https://www.revelbikes.com/our-bikes/ranger/ Also part of Pinkbike test. With you loving gravel, pehaps NSBikes with their Rondo link. https://m.pinkbike.com/news/ns-bikes-synonym-tr1-review.html?pbref=p Dangerholm co-lab https://www.instagram.com/dangerholm/?hl=en
