Boast about your latest purchases here...

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

I see a Giant Trance frame, a Manitou Mattoc Pro fork, RockShox Monarch Plus, Maxxis rubber and something that looks suspiciously like a front mech.

And we know there are WTB Asym i29's on Hope Pro 4's with Competition spokes.

who knows, maybe it's a mech, maybe it's a skewer or a chaintool. Judging by that photo - I have no idea...

Agree with you on the fork, but I'm gonna go with Trance.

Definitely a trance. The rear triangle brace is the giveaway. Reign has it going to the LHS seatstay only, whereas the trance goes to both.

Had to stop my self from picking up that exact same helmet! Still might go back and get it... @ R500 it seems like a no brainer! 

 

So to stop myself I upped my sock game and got yet more gloves. Gloves are 'disposable' right?

I hope you don't get nailed to hard with import duties , I bought one couple years back that was on special and all in ended up costing 100bucks more than the local price

Helmets are 30% duty plus VAT. So your R 500 helmet will end up costing R 750 excl delivery.
