ericams125 Posted July 25, 2012 Share yeah, there was a guy on the Morewood FB group who ordered one and because the wait has been longer than he expected, he had to cancel his riding holiday hi from the guy who had too cancel his holiday because the frame was (or is) still in PMB. Still waiting, still frustrated bla bla, almost so far too switch to an intense Carbine... You guys in SA at least will get your bikes going in too summer, in europe we are going in to winter. So I will not only have lost a holiday, I actually lost a whole season of riding. but if it comes it will be a nice build up Jabula Frame in white with the DB AirHope Pro Evo Hubs in Red with Notubes Flow Rims and red spokenipples.BOS Deville Tapered TRC 170mm.Hope Tech M4 Brakes with Red Caps und Red floating RotorsBlacx Jewel Air AM+ Black and RedCromag Fubar OSX 780mm BlackHope XC/AM Stem 70mm 0°Cromag Lynx DT Red SaddleRace Face Turbine Crank red 40-28XTR CassetteXTR Shifter with hope Brake ConnectorsXTR 980 Shadow plus back DerrailleurXTR 980 front Derralier direct mountKMC 10 Speed Chain in Goldcontinental mountain king protection 2,4 Tires for dry conditions and Maxxis Ardent 2.4 for wet conditionsrace Face BB92 Yeah and its all here except for the frame...

Cav' Posted July 25, 2012 Share 2299 euros. So about 23000 randThanks, that price lets the Pyga OneTen29 seem like a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted July 25, 2012 Share Oh, that is expensive.... How do they expect to compete against the SB-66/575, BLUR LT/HECKLER, Mach 5.7 and 20 other bikes in this category at that price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericams125 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Well just look at frame prices from intense or Santacruz, they are in the Same region. I had a check on the US prices for the Sukuma and must say the US is the cheapest price to get the bike. Was about 1899 Euros for the frame. My alternative Frame the Tracer2 from intense is about just as expensive as the Sukuma and the Jabula. But if you are thinking in dimensions of about 80000 Rand for a bike, it does actually not really matter if ist is 5000 or 10000 Rands more. My actual calculation was 40000 Rand for the whole bike... But now its double... But I will have fullfilled a dream... Who cares about the price (and I also must say, my boss is contributing a huge amount too the bike as my bonus and then I also get special prices because I work in a bike shop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted July 25, 2012 Share Yeah brother, you are preaching to the choir here... I completed my dream build a couple of weeks ago... so I feel you!!! Good luck, hope you get your frame soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheV Posted July 25, 2012 Share SB 66 or the BigTop .....;-) I'll moer you, the SB-66 without any question. I ripped off the XX junk and replaced it with XT, now it's even better that it ever was. 20mm front axle, 142 real axle, KASHIMA 36mm Fox Factory Forks and KASHIMA RP23 XV Boost, Full XT Group, Haven Wheels & Finishing Kit, Reverb-II Post.... Cant compare that to any piece of 29er junk, not even the BigTop (which i love by the way, it makes me smile, but feel gay at the same time).
