Great value for money:

e.g. Canyon Strive AL 8.0 Race, 2799 EUR (R 37500) with pike fork, monarch plus rc3 shock, reverb stealth, and sram x01

mmm... looks familiar (except the rear pivot, but that is very important part)

True, but at that price it's almost worth chancing it. Only viable if you're making a trip there anyway.

That looks like our local product, wheels assembled by The Wizard of Slummies

I'm looking for a handlebar with the same profile/shape as the one on this bike, my Merida has the normal flat bars on, how will I go about looking for this shape of handlebar?

That is a Renthal bar. What you need to look for is a bar with a bit of a rise in it. Say 25mm.

Eish, that bike won't be winning any beauty pageants anytime soon ...

A nice to have

Thanks Sliiick, I'll have a look when in town. At least now I know what to call the handlebar.

1. That is not a local frame.

 

2. It is an open mould frame(that means anyone can buy these bikes and put their own name on) from China, here is the link to the factory. http://www.apro-tek.com/product_detail.php?sID=1&Key=20

 

3. It comes in a push or pull shock variation, one should just say that in your order.

 

4. the bike was not designed by some "German" or "American" engineer. The designer is a Thaiwanese engineer, a friend of mine who is a engineer at a large bike company has met him.

 

5. I have ridden one of these, they are junk! the kinematics are all wrong. They flex like crazy and the geo is not well designed.

 

6. DON'T BELIEVE ALL THE BULLSH!T PEOPLE TELL YOU! Do some research and you won't be caught like an idiot plus you will save a good bit of cash! ps...the frames cost about 650USD including shipping.

 

Hope I could inform some people.
