patches Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 That sucks dude. sorry. Seriously? Damn that sucks. What happened? Stumbled accross what I thought might be a paint crack but turns out it wasnt... Time for DIY Carbon work? or are you going to try and get warrenty things to happen? Hmmm, Black and Orange.... it sounds like I need to go and have a look at Superstar, CRC etc... So here is Nofearnofun's new ride to be... Due to the Moto cracking, I bought the frame back from him at original price. Being the original owner, I was then able to warranty said frame, and get a Jekyll 3 as a replacement... which will be Nofearnofun's in 3 months time (just to test his patience, haha) Here it is in black and orange...
nolipoli Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Damn sexy! How much did it set you back & what's the spec? Do you know whether it can be bought with RS suspension in sa? Its all Fox Float suspension, with SLX crank and derailleurs. Shitty Alivio Shifters, and similar level brakes. The thing is though, that with all the trickle down technology, I might be very surprised by the shifting and braking performance. Giant generally think these things through quite thoroughly. The Trance Adv. 27.5 2 has a RS Monarch rear and a Sektor up front, but you will pay for the carbon. I paid less than I should have (but I can't tell you). I expect that these should sell in the region of R24K.

Ye and i wouldnt buy a frame youve been jumping on haha.. nofear scored a new frame .. that jekyll 3 way better maybe its better to buy 1/2 cracked frames from patches with warranty left
patches Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Well played, Sir... Well played indeed! I haven't ridden it yet as I don't have brake levers (Hope brakes, the levrs just fall off, haha)... but just from looking at it, I can say that it's going to be painfull to hand over to Nofearnofun on 1st Feb... and he's going to be beaming at the bargain he got, haha!
nolipoli Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 What did you pay and where? What do you reckon I can get for the fork? A demo bike is being sent to my lbs!! But all the shops in my area don't believe in discount. The whole "take it or leave it" mentality. Which sucks because end if the day price trumps service for me..... I'm cheap like that!!! Because I have credit card interest to think about. The forks are worth almost nothing because they are OD2. Youwould probably battle to get R2.5K for it.
nolipoli Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Looks good ,that is axactly what i was thinking,needs orange pedals or rims or hubz. It looks like I will have to rethink this Orange thing...

I built this up with parts I already had. Most come off my Intense.The wheels are off my Ndiza (which is now running the Intense's wheels). As for frames I've jumped... that's where n+1 comes in... I have 2 Morewoods that just love being jumped, so this one will stay relatively close to Mother Earth

Nofearnofun Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 It looks like I will have to rethink this Orange thing... It's not going to have orange for long...
