  1. Hi everyone I am after a older Bianchi 1885 alu carbon mix. Where do I look ? Does anyone have ? Also happy to buy it in parts if anyone has a frame available? let me know !
  2. Hi Guys, Need some advice, please. I would like to build a bike and I am looking at a light aluminium frame. So I have two questions: 1) Which frame should I go for (R4000 to R10 000 spend)? 2) Read reviews about the CAAD 12 being an awesome frame, anyone got some real rider feed back? Any and all advice would be appreciate. I have already gotten the carbon vs aluminium speech so you'll can give that one a skip. Its a passion project.
  3. I searched and couldn't find a thread for this. I thinking of stripping my bike down to the metal and just polishing it. Thoughts? Pics of your Alu-Bike? Something like this:
  4. Sometime in the near future I might be looking at upgrading.. Obviously the argument for Carbon bikes is one that has been discussed over and over.. I have another consideration though. Specifically referring to the Merida Reacto range would it not be wise as far as longevity is concerned, to rather opt for something like the Merida Reacto 400 (Aluminium) instead of the Carbon 4000. My reason being Carbon fiber and chances of breaking on crashes.. Isnt Aluminium a much safer bet, taking into consideration our roads. I mean If I had bigger budget or was racing, the weight advantage of CF would be worth it.
  5. Hi to all. Yesterday I bought a Cannondale F29 alloy 2. I was super excited to go home and weigh the bike but was quite disappointed when the scale tipped over at 11 ish KG. So now I come to you weight weenies to help me shred a few grams. The bike is currently has : Front wheel: Stan's ZTR Crest on a lefty hub with Rubena tires. Suspension: Cannondale lefty Handlebar : Cannondale handle bar Stem: Cannondale stem Frame: F29 alloy 2 (2013) Pedals : Shimano XT Seat post : Cannondale stock post Seat : Cannondale seat Crankset :Shimano XT Brakes: Shimano XT Shifters :Shimano XT Chain: Shimano XT Cassette: Shimano XT Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT Rear Hub :Shimano Deore Rear Rim :WTB frequency race i19 with a Rubena tyre. I think that is about all the stuff that make the numbers on the scale rise. I am going to convert the bike to a 1x10 setup and plan to change the rear wheel to a ZTR Crest. is the rim change worth it, and where else can I save a few grams without having to rob a bank. I would like to keep every thing on the bike aluminium so carbon seatpost and stem is out. Any suggestions welcome.
