Awesome project

 

I hope that you can squeeze a dropper seatpost into the budget 

 

What fork will you use ?

It will be a "while" before Maritz can use a dropper on this frame     He needs to grow another 2cm in his legs to stand over the top tube ...           But he seems to have his grand-dad's genes, the man was 6''6, his nephews and nieces also over 6''.  the way MAritz grows we may update this post in 6 months, for a dropper post ...    

 

 

The bike came with a very nice Rock Shox REBA dual air shock.  The decals were changed to fit the new colour scheme.  The shock is with Mark to do a major service.

Finished her up last night:

REALLY happy with how it turned out.

 

What are your intentions with this beauty?

I want these but in red - where?

I want these but in red - where?

My lbs - they are a spez concept store these days but the owner is a huge colnago and campy fan. They sent me the picture and I said yes, no idea on price but I'm guessing it's not a value item

You could order them at yours but I will let you know tomorrow what options are available when I go in.

No red available and R400 from my LBS - they are expensive and as a rule and I generally shop around for my parts but I'm happy to buy these off them and keep them sweet as they have the best local mechanics

Can one boast about almost purchases? 

 

Not "almost" as in I chickened out. "Almost" as in I purchased a hefty stash of bicycle related product, but due to a faulty promo-code the retailer has chosen to back out of the order 

 

Torpedo7 (a large NZ based adventure sports store) launched a Friends & Family discount code that had a glitch. It not only applied insanely huge discounts go items in one's cart, but also failed to add multiples of an item.

 

For example, 1x Maxxis DHF tyre

• R1030 usual price
• R540 with discount code
• R540 for 2 with discount code
• R540 for 10 with discount code

you get the picture. So yeah, when people caught on their orders ran wild.

 

Mine looked like this:

 

 

 

I didn't realize the glitch at first, as I applied the code after I had set the quantity. So I placed the orders thinking the discount was just THAT good. But a colleague noticed it and shortly after that, the code stopped working. Then we got an email saying our orders were on hold and they needed to correct the pricing.

 

So yeah... I almost purchased these awesome items to boast about

I thought that they have to supply the goods if the fault is on their side?

Same as a pamphlet advert being incorrect, they need to retract it before the initial ad is null and void.

Or am I wrong?
