Headshot Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Anybody here that owns a size large Dee Dar and lives around Cape Town - Somerset West area? I am in the market for a steel hardtail and the Dee Dar is the bike that ticks all the boxes. Just one problem, not sure if the Large frame will fit me. I'm 1.87m tall with longer legs than torso. So, I would like to see if I will fit on the bike before I go ahead and buy one. Any help would be appreciated.I have a large Dee Dar - I am 1.88 m and long legs. It fits fine. Just make sure your fork has a decent longish steerer tube so the bars aren't too low.
Pieter1 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Would anyone in the Cape Town area be interrested in a Codeine 29er that may be going up for sale? Had a crash on first day of my leave and broke my ankle badly. Bike still fine but my riding future is in jeopardy.Eish. That sucks man. What size? Edited January 23, 2018 by Pieter1
Headshot Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 This bike has featured in the Gravity section under long travel hard tails already, but may as well put it here. Frame is a Large pearl white bought thanks to Flowta putting me on to a fire sale that lasted about a day at On One. Only received the frame 3 weeks ago and had to wait for a headset to arrive after that. Build is based on my old 26er enduro parts so a 160mm Pike, Flow 26" wheels with serious rubber, SLX cranks/XT mech/SLx brakes/Saint shifter/Giant dropper/Funn bars and rear hub/Spaz seat/35mm stem/Nukeprrof headset Bike is very easy to ride fast downhill and there are no pedal strike issues with the 26" wheels. BB is about 320mm and it corners and turns like a boss. Only downside is my legs take strain being the rear suspension on bumpy trails. DirtyDan, babse, Pieter1 and 5 others 8

Pieter1 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 So I e-mailed On One to hear when they will have L size 650b Codeine frames again. They said they won’t be ordering anymore Does not look like much is going on there anymore. This makes me sad. Hairy 1

Pieter1 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 any of you riff raff every swing a leg over the Codiene frames ... specifically the 650b? I wish I could say yes. I see they not making them anymore and they do not have my size n stock. Super bumed. But oh well. Maybe they make something lekker before I buy that Silverback.
