Boast about your latest purchases here...

[Jaco-fiets]

Got my new toy yesterday. Did setup last night but wind is too bad here to take it out for test ride today. Will do my best to be patient till tomorrow. It comes out with ZTR Race Gold wheelset but its too flimsy for me so i switched it to ZTR Crest. 1st time i bought a bike and downgraded something to suit me better

Nice bike. You'll love the R1's! I'm not so sure about the carbon saddle rail though.

Awesome build kit!

What frame is this going on?

 

Where did you get the bars from?

I didn't know that they were available yet

[awesme]

The Frame is to be Patrick Morewoods new OneTwenty650b

 

The bars has been ordered and paid for, on their way from Thomson to supplier in the states, and then here via a courier, will be here on the 12th Dec,

 

If all goes well they will be the first Thomson carbon bars in SA. They will be matched with the Thompson X4 stem, as soon as I've figured out the length required, I've got a cheapie 70mm to determine if I need 10 or 20mm more.

the 29er is a oneTen, the 650 is a OneTwenty, as per conversation and emails with Patrick.
