Zula

Not in my mind.

Agreed. Also the pressure for mass production taiwanese catalogue frames must have been an issue. Really sad story.

You sat at newport. Whats the difference?

and put your name on. Glad I got a piece of the history

Someone must have some insider info?

I'm speechless.

Says he who spent an entire weekend on his road bike

Females love sales. Personally I hate them. There is a reason no one else bought the items and now the store is sitting with old stock. Maybe a GHD would end me up with a 29er frame. Will have to use my skills of persuasion on this one

U sound like uve done alot of homework on this

They exactly the same as us jut in their own way. On Saturday she starts telling me her hair dryer is on its way out but its lasted 5 years blah blah blah In the next breath she's telling me about how awesome the GHD hairdryer is. Think its over 2k! Maybe I get her a hairdryer and me an air 9 carbon? I think thats fair

So I was chatting to the Mrs last night explaining to her the benefits of a 29er and why I would like to invest in a hardtail version. Her response 'Just pedal faster' This is gonna be a tough nut to crack!

No need. Im more XC. Zula is all the trail bike I need. In a perfect world you do need a trail bike as well

Not cheap but not bad. Can do a build for under 20k

Any idea on the pricing of a kwela 29er? You seem to be a man in the know @ morewood

are these in full production yet? Anyone seen one on the trails?

Still prefer the idea of a porsche cayene, but that just me

Gotta love them Morewoods

You calling my zula a bantam? Its a hilux vs a porsche cayene!

always one step ahead!

Having lost 20kg's over the past few years, I have learnt that weight loss is not about dieting and drinking silly shakes. Weight loss is about input vs output as well as food education. If you eat less than you need, you will loose weight provided you are eating nutritional food and not calories in the form of KFC or Cadbury's. Simple. Now, food is all about education. There is a thing as a healthy take away. For instance a nandos burger without the mayonnaise is actually good for you. It has carbs, some lean protein which isn't fried and some veg in the form of lettuce, cucumber and tomato. You could also have a penne napolitana at a restaurant which is also clean and healthy food. Ok, one shouldn't be eating a heavy carb meal at night, fine. Carbs for breakfast, carbs for lunch with some protein and fat and then protein at dinner with a small amount of carbs and some fat. Fat will find its way to the plate naturally so don't go ladle on the butter! All these tubs of stuff that they have at the pharmacies promising this and promising that IMHO is a load of shite. It comes from factories in china and who the hell knows what they put into them. There is more than enough natural unprocessed food in this world which we could all eat to get us to our optimal weight. No need for supplements. There are times however that during crazy training that a supplement may me needed, but thats it.

Go for the one that you like the look of. The one that you want to ride. Merida is a solid brand, been around for yonks. KTM is the newbie in the market but seem to have some decent stuff. Add some budget for doing a tubelesss conversion. Bottom line when buying a bike, spend as much as you can afford.

Agreed
