T-Bob Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Very Ti-ght One liner of the month!!! DJR and WaynejG 2
DJR Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Cannot beat a Litespeed frame, love mine... is my go to bike these days, my carbon bike sits on the indoor trainer lol !! Managed to get mine down to 6.7kgs with Easton EC90 SLX fork and Lightweight Rennbugel handlebars and a Lightweight saddle Look forward to seeing the build !!The way Morph builds, I don't for a moment doubt that it will be a featherweight! shaper 1
DJR Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Uhmmmm.... Maybe. Why? I always thought that if I do some power yoga first, I could stretch myself to ride your size frame!
DJR Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Not sure if this one is going to be a weightweenie of sorts. Plan is to make it a daily driver with some exotic titanium bits etc.... No doubt you will easily find all those supposedly impossible-to-find parts
Veebee Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 So the next build is coming together... I have purchasedUltegra R8000 groupsetSRT carbon aero barsToken out front Garmin mountSupacaz bottle cages Next up to decide on a frame. Thinking about going Chapter2 but a bit scared to take a risk with no support in SA. Next choice is Swift Uvox with limited support or Giant TCR ADV 0. The good thing with the Giant framesets is that they are painted a different colour so its not the common colour that are on the full builds they sell. Then lastly will be the wheelset, need to source lightweight carbon 35-40mm wheels. Andrew_Smith, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, RossW and 3 others 6

Have it since Dec 2017. Ive had no issues with the frame and the build quality is excellent. Ive got the same groupset but with a power2max power meter built into a sram force crank with 45mm Lightbicycle rims onto hope hubs and my build is at 7.75kgs with old dura ace pedals. The giants are very very nice but there are so many of them on the road. I get so many questions and compliments on my Tere. I don't know what the pricing is like on the new swifts but from what I can see on insta is that they look amazing!!! Good luck and don't forget to post pics when you're done!

Thanks for some positive feedback on the Tere. I was trying to get some local feedback on it.Giant is the way to go just purely for the aftersales support if ever needed. Chapter 2 doesnt have anyone in SA, so even just getting a Seatpost or hanger might prove to be a challenge. Swift Uvox is around R22k, Giant TCR R21k, Chapter2 Tere R35k. I'd really like something different, but mind says go with Giant.

Id go TCR then only gripe is that they're all over the place. Either way you're getting a sweet build! Andrew_Smith and Veebee 2

Those NP200s are probably some of the most practical and low maintenance cars around! henningvr, Andrew_Smith and Reme Le Hane 3
Jako De Wet Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Lekker Reme! Better late than never. Next shuttle day is on you ???? Reme Le Hane 1

PhilipV Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Finally, waited till I was 33 to get a car licence, because well hek I never needed one. Motorbike works lekker and runs on love and fresh air. These damned MTBs giving you reasons.... First I went and bought .Lekker! The NP200 was the only small bakkie that I comfortably fit into. You made a good choice. I might like the Ranger, but to this day I still miss my Corsa bakkie. Many safe miles, hopefully your many years on a bike will have improved your situational awareness to be safe. I sometimes forget that I was also a young driver with alot of bravado and very little clue.... PS: You'll be surprised how far you get with those bakkies on bad roads when driven carefully. EDIT: Check where the exhaust exits, and make sure the front wheel is far enough away. Melting tyres is overrated. Edited May 17, 2019 by PhilipV nonky, Steven Knoetze (sk27), Leon O and 1 other 4
