Nige, if the red is too much or it hurts your eyes, Photofabricators in Williams Road (one down from Sydney) can anodize it black for you at a marginal cost. They did my bars and stem cap on the Teocali. They close to Matt if you don't feel like driving.... If he says no, I can drop it off.

Funn have a new distributor in SA - they have some pretty cool stuff - but some stuff you may need to back order

Go and have a chat to your LBS - the distributors are LARC Distributors

Duane - the bar is the std ENVE Carbon bar that is distributed by Paragon

http://www.paragontech.co.za/

 

Again have a chat to your LBS - but remember the ENVE Bars are P0000S expensive with a retail of R2300

Thanks Nigel, Stunning build BTW.

 

I am interested in the FUNN Stryge stem and Viper II pedals, have you had any experience with these?

Not personally - I think the Stryge is new (most of their lineup is new it seems like)

 

But the Vipers have been around for ever and they are like bombproof AFAIK ... (but then again i ride clipped in so what would i know - hahaha)

Not at all - its the only way!!

 

You have WAY more control! - Have ridden clipped in for DH since i started racing.

I must just give a BIG shout out to Jason at Leighs Cycle Centre in the Pavillion for hooking me up with most of the stuff.

 

He organised a great deal on my Wheels, Bar, Stem, Seat and Saint Parts!

 

Thanks bud - I owe you big time.

Makes sense I suppose but means full on commitment should you bail.
