New Bike Day!!!!!!😁 A big thank you to Leeroy at Biket in Hillcrest. Excellent service.

Just finished the build.  Turned out quite nice .

Its going to be my "road bike" when there is too much mud around.

Edit:  Surprisingly even with the steel frame its only 11.0kg as it stand there 😉

New frame, handlebar and brakes. Replaced my aluminum frame. Now it is at 10.4kg as is. 😁 can't wait to test it Sunday.

Because XTR will just disintegrate for no

reason.

Did you nick the jockey wheels from the xtr set? That does look super cool with those over sized jockey wheels

Not a boast as such but given the price of tyres and the issue of stock 👀 New rear tyre, Conties owns the Ardent Race this replaced, can't complain since I've moved to Maxxis it's the first tyre I have "lost".

Nope. Stock wheels on the XT

Was going to buy a new bicycle, but my current mileage doesn’t justify it. 
 

So spent half the money, and bought something that I have been wanting for ages….

Those who know me, know that my true passion is motorbikes.

And that sums up one of the biggest challenges that the cycling industry needs to overcome.

Anyone out there with a Rapide Tigre frame & Rigid PitchFork complete build, preferably not single speed and red (if I can be demanding 😂)?  Please post some photos,

I'm seriously considering .... .  Please don't tell the wife 🙈.

Doesn't get any closer than that to what you're asking?

Very nice, thanks, I just did my first 60km on mine this morning.  Very nice.  I'm not used to no suspension though, so will take some time to get used to it, but so far I like it ...

Posted on Friday but here goes again  

Edit:  Do you also stay in Alberton?

Bought them second hand from the same guy I bought the bike. Night and day difference compared to the stock pedals!

Please stop it... 

I've been toying with going back to a steel SS trail bike for ages and seeing how rad all these look is making me want to sell my dual suss frame more and more....

The rigid fork/frame bundle and a 120mm trail fork option would just tick ALL the boxes. 

Does anyone have a picture of a Medium? I would buy the black one in Medium.

Sorry Jewie, I was also trying to resist the temptation for a long while but ultimately failed .... 🙈
