Sorry was a one off deal. Had a choice between a fairly battered up 140 Pike that I couldn't check the internals for around 8K or a brand new 140 Revelation for sub R5K... Didt fancy the gamble and the difference is going fund the last thing: wheels. :)

Damn, that's a good price on the Revelation. Lucky lucky.

Was very, very tempted... but some of the deep marks on the crown, the lowers and hectic rub on the inner lowers made you think a very big 'huh??' 

 

Will ride the rev' and keep eyes peeled for a pike further down the line.

The Rev is still a great fork. I bought a 2nd hand Pike in mint condition for 8k so the one you looked at does not sound worth the risk

Yip , that would be correct :)

Sjo since moving to George I have only been there twice in 20 years, used to be our holiday destination when I lived in the Freestate for our April holidays, used to be a very nice place back then. Used to go to Umhlanga Cabanas on the end of the road behind Breakers.

Since Knog had a heavily discounted clearance sail and my Lbs got in some stock for unbelievable prices I sommer got lights and multi tools for all the bikes in the house. 176c2ec79ed4849ccf2600a3d0cb7c70.jpg9d0eb8d4695d0aa54da9fda543b2c6f2.jpg

Mr Lyle, that looks suspiciously like a roadie in that pic...

Enjoy it dude, burning along at high speed on the road is also good fun.
