I have the exact bike! The best bike ever. I will never ride anything else again. Just remember to build it up with triple crank, you will thank me later.

 

Don't mind the weight of the extra blade!

Will try, but doubt our small LBSs will have choice of cranks to try. Might drive through to JHB over weekend. Thanks for the advice

Yep, placed an order for the triple. Have double on the Storm and its fine for XC, but I'll definitely prefer triple for this bike.

Awesome. Sooo glad you went for the Reba and not the SID. SO much better value, and IMHO better performance.

 

BTW - heavily jealous! And remember - it needs a Dropper Post!

Cool calculator, thanks! According to this I should be on 165mm cranks.

Hey Mr Mayhem. Haven't ordered the 2013 Reba yet 'cause no retailer in SA has them yet

 

As for a dropper, let me get used to the duallie first! Also, the finances will need some recovery time after this build!

sorry I think it's out of my system now

 

Damn that frame is Hawt... pics of build when you're done pls

[Ysterperd]

Nice. Worhwhile investing in having it covered in plastic film before you start your build. Bit pricey, I had mine done and 3 years later dont regret it, protects the frame, they normally specialize in doing the higher end sportcar market.

 

Enjoy

Schweet! And when they do come out, try the international retailers first. For obvious reasons...

Nice, I wish you many happy miles.

LOL! Thanks HandH! The build will be well documented, with frequent questions, since this is the first bike I haven't bough off-the-shelf as it were.

Sound awesome! Where can one have this done?

Some international online retailers already have some of the 2013 Rockshox models, but either prices have gone up for 2013 or the UK guys are more expensive on forks
