DarkHorseWheels, definitely worth dealing with rather than importing yourself.

Black Spade. I have 2 fantastic sets!

What's happened to Collin?

Is the brand still around?

 

Didn't see many BS wheels or frames at Ironman.

Judging by the last for sale thread I saw from him in the classifieds it looked like he was leaving SA. Been a while since I saw any activity from him.

I bought one about 3 years ago from dengfu and absolutely loved it.

 

If my wife didn't tell me to sell it then I would still be riding it.

FLYXII 26er, 15inch frame, 1 x 9, 10.3 kg

 

I completed this build for my son, the frame, seat post, and headset is from Flyxii. I was planning to build it as a 2 x 10 set up, but because the frame is so bulky around the BB area the front derailleur was too high on the frame to work probably. So I used some old parts and set it up as a 1 x 9 with a 32 front ring and 12 – 36 cassette.  I ordered most parts from the German online website bike-discount.de.

 

Attached are a few photos and a spec sheet to show what the cost will be for a similar build.

Anybody with a extra 50 mm carbon rim (rim only) please let me know. I busted my rear rim in a pothole and need to replace

Too lazy to read the gazillion page thread here.

 

I need some carbon MTB rims - wider AM rims. Anyone know where I can get some locally at a good price rather than trying to run the gamut of importing this through the Post Office.
