Jay_B Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) So I have decided to start planning my dream bike, it will be 6 - 7 months before I am aloud to ride again so it's a perfect opportunity to plan and build a new bike... I would like to know your guys ideas and suggestions on parts etc I think there was a thread about your dream bike somewhere but this one I want to actually build... So this is where I am at for now Frame: morewood Sukuma (love the look of this frame) Fork: fox talas 36 (160mm) Brakes: Hope tech M4 evo (special edition) with hope mono saw rotors Wheels: American classic all mountain with continental mountain king II 2.4 tyre front and X-king back Bars and stem: Deity blacklabel handlebar. Cant decide on a stem, any suggestions please? Shifters: Shimano saint M810 Derailleurs: Shimano SLX M665 2 x 9 front and SLX M662 shadow 9 speed rear Crank: Shimano SLX double chainset (36/22T) Thats where i am at for now, im almost inclined to start buying the parts already im getting so excited. Still need to look for a seat and some decent pedals So lets hear your thoughts and ideas??? Edited January 12, 2013 by Jay_B
DR ◣◢ Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Amazing bikes. Light and very responsive. Frame is around R16000 and the Jabula is around R18000
nolipoli Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Rather go with a X-king at the rear. It rolls fast and corners much better. Shadow Plus rear dérailleur whether in SLX or XT is a must. Try running 2x10. Choose a short stem (50-70mm) and at least a 710mm low rise bar. Get some proper flat pedals.
Jay_B Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 Updated... want to start buying parts now already
jimmy hardtail Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 So buy them. If I had the cash I would. Or buy a complete mondraker foxy RR from dialled bikes for R28000.
braailegend Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Great looking bike Have to say, If I had that kind of money, this would be my frame .. Trek SlashPretty much same geometry it seems.
BushGoblin Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Good luck with the build, don't forget to post some pichas.
