Looking for something DIFFERENT

[nigelhicks]

Rocky may be an option ....

[The Ghost]

Too heavy ...

 

11.9kg's too heavy?

[CAAD4]

Pivot Mach 4's are on special at W2..

+1000 and you cant beat that suspension it just transfers all the power with no pedal bob its awesome

[PhilipV]

Naah, spaz are only bringing in big wheeled bikes from now on.

[Mr LOOK]

LOOK 920

[Grebel]

if its not PERFECT ... it hits the bin ... hahaha.

 

And where would that bin be exactly ?

 

Go buy a Scott with a home made front fork to take a 650B wheel then!

 

I still reckon a Morewood. Alternatively (I know it's a twentynaaaaainer) what about Pat's PYGA? Haven't read a bad review yet. Goes like a trail bike and one of our top pros (Rene Goustra I think) said he would race one if he could get it a bit lighter... Just a thought

(ok I know nothing about MTB as I'm a roadie but that LOOK look's awesome)

 

:whistling:

[Grebel]

Grebel .... are you having a laugh???? thats like saying why not buy a german tank thats equipped with a waterbed for suspension ... hahaha

 

I almost bought a marked down Coilair Delux.... but then my idea of a good bike would be different to your girlfriend's I'm sure.

I am probably the most pedantic prick of a man EVER when it comes to bikes.

 

Hey, get to the back of the queue. This is the Hub, buddy.

11.9kg's too heavy?

i picked up a mates ghost - he had just spent 27k on it - so i was expecting it to be like a feather. I could not believe it was so heavy. after that i crossed ghost of my list

12kg's is 12kg's regardless of make. What weight do you expect from a full susser?

[T-Bob]

- Pivot (mach 5.7)

- Orange (Five)

- Felt (Edict)

- Yeti (SB-66)

 

Any joy?

ok - put it this way...without looking at actual advertised weights it felt heavier than equivalent build with other frames. I have been told that ghost are heavy prior to this and this sort of confirmed it

 

edit - i am interested in this outcome as i need to buy a frame next year.......

You will not go wrong with waiting for a well priced Santa Cruz to pop up here Nigel.

 

I bought both my Superlight and Blur LT here at very good prices for the frame only option.

Alternatively I'd be going for either a Pivot or Ellsworth. I am very interested in the Pyga FS!

 

I might have missed it but what size are you looking for?
