    Thanks for the input Greg... much appreciated. That the very same issues I'm contemplating. However its really good to hear your experience. Enjoy it and hope you have many trouble free miles on it.

    Thanks for your contribution Chukky. Very well put... It never ceases to amaze me the difference in attitude you find when people know they can make money out of you, as opposed to when they know they can't or won't in the short-term. Being pro-active in assisting someone will only grow your brand and your reputation. Very short sighted in my opinion.
  3. Jonesy
    Yeah good question.... well I like the sturdiness of it and mainly the ease of use for multiple users. This is also working out (initial outlay), far cheaper than a good smart trainer plus a spare cheapish road bike.

    Thanks Jensie.... question is regarding parts availability?
  5. Jonesy
    Thanks Chris... just would like to know who I could turn to when service/parts required.
  6. Jonesy
    Yes I know.... that's why I'm asking if anyone else has parts/servicing solutions for your ex-brand.
  7. Jonesy
    About to pull the trigger on this...With this machine discontinued by the agent, is it a bad idea investing in one of these? Anyone know if parts/servicing are available through alternate channels?? BicyclePower cant provide any information other than its discontinued... All replies appreciated. Thanks

    Built a steel frame gravel bike which is pretty relaxed and comfortable. Then I tried a 2020 Trek Domane SL6... It was simply next level in every way. I don't think I'd buy another steel bike. IsoSpeed front and rear Wide rims Fat tyres Just awesome However I don't think all steel frames are equal and may offer better value than the latest carbon offerings.

    What do ya mean mate?

    Not everyone's idea of the ultimate gravel bike but I can hardly think of a better bike for riding road/hard pack/grass verges... especially when comfort is a big factor. Upgrading from A FARR, this feels like an S-Class Merc! #2020TrekDomaneSL6 #40c tyres #myperfectbikeevenifitsupsidedown

    Can't say how chuffed I am to own this bike ...2020 Trek Domane SL6. Pics won't upload...????

    Anyone know about an apparent armed robbery on the acces road??
  13. Jonesy
    Aah... thank you! We are getting ever closer to finding out the weight of the frame and fork together.
  14. Jonesy
    Yes I think frame weights exclude the fork... wish someone could confirm if I'm right... Remember that I'm on a Large amd you're on a small frame. (Slight difference). I will soon confirm the exact weight of mine. Not that it bothers me much but I'd like to know for interest sake. Again, very happy to hear your feedback on the ride quality. Its really much more important to me than a bit of weight. As far as the brakes go, the Ultegras should be up to the job. (Better be considering my weight added to the thing! ????)
  15. Jonesy
    My bike came in at 11.7kgs without pedals and sealant. Full Ultegra hydraulic 2 x 11sp. @andreas17777, I'm not 100% sure but I think the frame and fork is closer to 4kgs. I think a carbon fork will save a significant amount but the ride quality may not be as good (theoretically speaking and according to gogo@). If all goes well I should have my bike this week. I'll post the actual final weight of the bike.
  16. Jonesy
    Nice write-up. Good to hear your experience. My build has been fraught with difficulties. The first bike shop gave up, the second is winning despite some hiccups. Pleeez.... can you let us know the weight of your bike? (More out of curiosity than anything else.) I've sent you a PM. Cheers

    Interesting.... They offered me R6000 for a carbon mtb (in pristine condition with a number of upgrades) that was worth a minimum of R17000. Apparently it would have been worth much more if it had had the original spec...... go figure! I eventually sold to a hubber for R15 500!
  18. Jonesy
    Yes... even butted the frameset is much heavier than say a Carbon Diverge. Thats why I was expecting a total weight around the 13kg plus mark. Will post pics as soon as the bike is complete... I live in hope...
  19. Jonesy
    Hi Andreas. No... fork is on (the original steel fork)....its the complete bike (large frame). Honestly I was expecting about 13kgs or a tad more. Would be interesting to hear what figures others are getting with their particular builds. The calibration on the scale seems fine as I weighed a 5kg bag of rice to check. I'm aware that weight is not the primary concern as far as steel bikes are involved but would love to hear from others that have weighed their bike as well.
  20. Jonesy
    So while I haven't exactly been able to finish my build, I got around to weighing the bike yesterday. Everything's on it, except bar tape! Without pedals (I took them off), it comes in at 11,7kgs. This is far less than I was expecting it to be (if my scale is accurate). Can anyone confirm if this sounds correct? The bike has 2 x 11sp Ultegra hydraulic group with a Shimano RS500 crank. Other components are nothing fancy. Thanks
  21. Jonesy
    Wow! Thats awesome... thanks. ????
  22. Jonesy
    Interesting.... will look at this option Thank you very much!????
  23. Jonesy
    Thanks for this..... will definitely look at this option. ????
  24. Jonesy
    Thanks for the reply.... my main dilema is that the frame takes a top-pull fd and the one in my groupo is bottom pull. Andreas17777 has gotten in touch and says he's managed to get a bottom-pull to work with his setup! So I'm getting details from him.... and keeping my fingers crossed.
  25. Jonesy
    Thanks... will do so.
