Jewbacca Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 You def don’t like their bikes - you put me off one off them recently hahahahahaha sorry!
PhilipV Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 That's a rad build, man. Budget beating performance. Looks either like an SB Slade trail or a Kona...Slade Trail. The cable routing into the top tube is unique to them. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Looks either like an SB Slade trail or a Kona...Thanks Cap, it came in quite low budget as most of the parts were transferred from my trail bike. Yip its a SB Slade trail frame Edited September 10, 2020 by Stevief
Stretched@Birth Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Gearboxes been around for a while, but yeah apparently very good. Would like to try one sometimeFriend of mine has the full sus version of this Nicolai with the internal gearbox, took it for a short ride, it is extremely smooth, quiet and shifts quickly (grip shift). Having said that, the gearbox did have to go back to Italy to sort a problem, which was inconvenient!

Chavo Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 That sounds like an awesome build! Thoroughly enjoy my Primal 29! MORNE 1
MORNE Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 PS: everything brand spanking new except for the fork which i got of here today for a super price from a awesome hubber. The fork is what you’d describe as mint...not a mark on it. At first we were going to skimp a bit and get a black friday special RS recon RL 140mm fork for around 5k but i convinced him that for 3k ish more we can get something PROPER off here that would totally vindicate the build as something drool-worthy....something a stupid salesman cookie cutter bike couldnt hold a candle to. .

MORNE Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Touché Red devil.....touché????. (We dubbed it “El Diablo Rojo”) Ps...this was taken about 40km before i ended up in the E.R later haha.Such a rad bike. I’m shocked how good the slx 12spd stuff is. Full shimano with cassette and chain. I cant imagine how good xtr must feel because this slx makes my Saint (xtr level) stuff feel like toys. The shifting is so positive. And shifting ander load, such a wierd feeling to do something you instinctively avoid doing. It just works.And there is a reason fox forks are do expensive.

MORNE Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 Ps...fork decals to be replaced by fox heritage red ones once the bike is in GP.
