nigelhicks Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 just checked ... that gold wheelset would be R1800 SHIPPED to SA from Superstar! ... CHEAP ... and weighs 1950g for the wheelset ...
eyecandy Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Nige, Nige, Nige.....no wonder they cheap! Nobody wants them
Grebel Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Could ... whats the price difference? any idea? I know that the powder coatings gonna cost R150 bucks for both rims! I had my bars done (red) and it cost me R80. They work on surface area so you could probably double the powder coating cost (worst case) but it is much more durable than powder coating and worth it in my opinion!
nigelhicks Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 I had my bars done (red) and it cost me R80. COOL - where did you take them to be done? have you got contact details?
nigelhicks Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Nige, Nige, Nige.....no wonder they cheap! Nobody wants them hahahahahaha CLASSIC! - actually ... these guys make good stuff - i have their lime green hubs on my All Mountain bike and they are awesome
Grebel Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 COOL - where did you take them to be done? have you got contact details? I took mine to Photo Fabricators. They are located at 132 Williams Road (one down from Sydney Road). Contact details are: Photo Fabricators (James Morford)031 305 4581/2photofab@telkomsa.net132 Williams Road They will even do frames!
Nikolais Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Awesome Frame - That romo paintjob is sweet!!! I reckon go gold for the rims, bars etc. Below is a Photoshop representation of what it would look like
nigelhicks Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 ok - let me know I put the white wheels of my DH bike on and then put on the yellow (Not gold - but close enough) Mavic EX 829 rims from my mates bike on ?????????? - thoughts
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Go for gold... White just looks too... meh! Edited August 15, 2011 by cptmayhem
eyecandy Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) That gold looks disgusting! White is stunning! Shows the bike up nicely.....its eye catching and looks fast . Dont like that saddle. Add a white/black or plain red saddle with some red grips. Edited August 15, 2011 by eyecandy
nigelhicks Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 ya dont worry about the saddle - it has a gold one that came with the bike - but its cracked so waiting for a replacement - just found this one lying around so am using it for the meantime
banna Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Go for gold... White just looks too... meh! Yup, goldy locks for me too. Would look kickass with yellow Deemax's.
nigelhicks Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 ok sorry EYECANDY ... but Gold it is ... Ordered now! R850 bucks for 2 rims
RodTi Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 ok sorry EYECANDY ... but Gold it is ... Ordered now! R850 bucks for 2 rims
