Tenkie, ons wil seker nie regtig weet wat kos so 'n raampie nie...? Of gaan jy gaaf genoeg wees om 'n aanduiding te gee?

 

Awesome!

So much attention to suspension and geometry, so little attention to finish.

 

It astounds me that neither Santa Cruz nor Cannondale have taken to internal cable and hose routing, instead sticking ugly cables and hoses on the outside of otherwise provocatively beautiful frames.

 

Even the stealth dropper post hose runs outside before finding its way into the frame just above the BB?

 

A bit like Annelien Kriel being seeing in public with Sol Kerzner.

Retail is in die omgewing van R33k ... maar as jy my kontak om jou bestelling te plaas, sal ek vir jou n lekka prys gee!

A dual sus with internal routing all the way ounds great and will look great but how practical will it be?

 

Even top end road bikes with internal routing can be a pain in the chain.

What components are we talking about?

It's a matter of preference really. I prefer the ease of having external cabling. No missioning n fiddling n nonsense in getting things routed, and no extra holes for mud n dirt to enter the frame through.

We are not talking about components, that is for the frame only.

 

I can build it with whatever components your heart desire! :D

I am starting to look at various options for a 29 er with real proper stuff (xtr and the like) trying as close to 10 kg as possible, how likely to achieve with this frame?

I agree, from a practical piont it is much easier.

 

Given, the routing on something like a Spez does look nice but those jobs that normally took 5min can quickly turn into 45min job :(
