AndreZA Posted November 13, 2007 Share Also' date=' what about a DeRosa Idol?[/quote'] Oooh, very nice. If you are looking for a beautiful, rare, hand made in Italy frame, that offers fair value for money, you cant go wrong with the Idol. SA agents are Marvuli.com if I'm not mistaken, sells for R16k, but that is without vat. Garzelli won 2 stages in the 07 Giro on it, so it has some racing cred. Add some of those red Fulcrum racing 0's and you will have a real head turner of a bike. http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/photos/tech/derosa/idol-full2.jpg on dhe down side:it is not ultra light"Hand made in Italy" costs more, but is not in necessarily better, than "made in Taiwan" And look, an Aliente saddle. Who said it's a MTB saddle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neelsf Posted November 15, 2007 Share What About this 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Flyers Posted November 15, 2007 Share I admire Giant If I was you, I will investigate all the frames first- Where is the agent? Overseas or Joburg or Cape Town?- Weight of frame?- Price?- How many years Quarantee?- Try them out, ask someone who has. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
