I would highly recommend going with one of the stock black forks if the colour is that important to you. Even the best spray or powder coat job is nowhere near a factory coat and with the effort you are putting into your build will wear badly and annoy you.

Noted! Thank you

STILL waiting for replacement frame CWC have not yet received it from their supplier. Once they do get it, it will be 2-3 days for courier to Potch. Obviously I'm not getting a frame this week

 

All other components and goodies waiting for customs clearance.

 

On a happier note, I just got these

Ooh! Ooh! Me likey very much!

Ooh! Ooh! Me likey very much!

 

Thanks!

 

The wheels weigh 765.3g and 889.7g for a total of 1655g inc. the Stan's yellow tape. Not bad considering Hope Pro 2 Evos are not the lightest hubs by a long shot!

 

 

Thanks Marnitz @ Dingo Cycles Potchefstroom.

Looooook awesome.

 

Same look that I'm going to be going for, black rims, black spokes, red hub.

Do you have red nipples?

[awesme]

Still deciding if I'm bying the wheelset as a complete buy from buycycle or buy parts and have build.

The rims are 12k gloss carbon 30mm wide XC/AM rims from Light-Bicycle. The rims were $165 each. Hubs bought from CRC @ about R2300 inc Vat. Two sets of DT Swiss anodized nipples ~ R470 inc VAT. The build plus DT Swiss Revolution spokes cost R1664.

This is really disappointing to read. Obviously CWC knew your frame was an old model when they sold it to you which is why they offered it at 23k. The 2012 version with 142x12 was priced up by Dragon when released.

 

I cannot for the life of me see how it takes them this long to phone Dragon and get a replacement. Or phone another shop and do a swap for you.

Yeah, service isn't what I had hoped for Not sure whether CWC or Dragon are to blame.

How can Dragon be to blame? CWC delivered you the wrong frame hoping to get away with it. The one they had in stock at a reduced price.

Give CWC a call, have a personal chat with Chris Jr.
