GrootSeun Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 just build mine, first 9er, but it goes like a dream, just have to get used to the BIG wheels! Can organize you one, and if you want to you can test ride mine!
katz201 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) I was lucky enough to ride one that Leon Evans (Kevin's dad) built up a few months ago. I was very impressed! Also received a nice review in the new Bicycling mag... Edited May 4, 2011 by katz201

Just Keep Pedaling Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Nice looking bike (at least while the white bits are still white and not brownish-white).
GrootSeun Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 the ones momsen is selling standard retails for R45 000. Full XTR, ZTR ...... My bike I mixed and matched, will be able to do a bike like mine for round about R37 000.  Frame and Fork RR - R15000.
katz201 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) How much are these going for The AL329 goes for R9500! Bargain! [Edit] Posted this before I noticed the carbon frame in your pic Edited May 4, 2011 by katz201

Do you know of dealers around Cape Town? I see there is 3 sizes: S, M and L. Normally I ride a MTB 26er with " Top Tube Effective" lenght of 600 mm (that will be a Large on most MTB 26er). I have noticed that the small momsen has a "Top Tube Effective" lenght of 600. Does it means that I would take a small? Size SMALL MEDIUM LARGE  (A) Seat Tube Length 420 480 530 (B) Top Tube Effective 600 620 640 © Head Tube Angle 71.5 72 72 (D) Seat Tube Angle 73.5 73 73 (E) Wheelbase 1087 1097 1117 (F) Rear Center 440 440 440 (G) BB Drop 60 60 60 (H) Headtube Length 110 120 130
andretraut Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Recently, when I was shopping around for my Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper 29er frame, almost every bike shop which I mailed, offered me the Momson XTR instead, as they could not supply the Stumpy. Well, my mind was made up already, and despite all the sales talk, special offers and convincing to get the Momsen, I eventually got the Stumpy. A complete built with XTR 2 x 10, Easton Wheels, FSA carbon cockpit, Specialized Fast Trak 2Bliss tyres and Specialized Phenom seat, my bill came in under R50K. I was offered the Momsen for R42K, but I believe they retail for R45K.

And that means that though I ride a 19" with a TT of 585mm, the Momsen S is too big for me. And no, I can not fix it with a shorter stem.
Monark Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I am waiting for my Momsen AL329 to arrive... going to use it purely as a training/fun/communter bike.... My Anthem X (weight this morning with new cranks 11.2kg ) is my race bike. I cant wait to take delivery of my new steed.
SURFER Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Do anybody knows about a dealer around Cape Town?
splat Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Do anybody knows about a dealer around Cape Town? I think Olympic were assigned a few.The frames and forks were a limited run, so not too many hanging around.
