Caerus Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Anyone have an idea on the frame only cost for the Trance?Not sure exactly, is this for you?
Hairy Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Not sure exactly, is this for you? maybe maybe not, let's just say that I have a "friend" asking questions and investigating options that might see a complete re-shuffle of "his" current bike stable
Chris.ZA Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Boy am I glad I found this thread. I'm in the market for a new bike... I hadn't seriously considered a Trance until I read this thread. I've read a lot of reviews and everyone seems to be in agreement - that this is an awesome bike that is reasonably priced. Most of the reviews I've watched and read have been on the 0 and 1 models. Why does South Africa not get the 0 or the 1 models and only get the 2 and the 4 models? Does anyone know a LBS that stocks the 0 or the 1 models? Assuming I get the 2, what upgrades should I ask the friendly LBS to do on the bike? I consensus seems to be a dropper... What else? Thanks!

Some people might suggest getting another fork and/or wheelset, others seem to like them. It's a pretty solid bit of kit. Just picked up a frame this afternoon
Chris.ZA Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Just picked up a frame this afternoon Been toying with that idea too - building up a bike with exactly what I want bolted onto to it. How much is just the frame if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mind you asking as it was for sale here on thehubsa: R5650 Actually have everything together to build it up, just need to sell my current frame and a spare wheelset
Chris.ZA Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nice!I don't mind you asking as it was for sale here on thehubsa: R5650 Actually have everything together to build it up, just need to sell my current frame and a spare wheelset Nice! Frame new or used?
Flowta Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nice! Nice! Frame new or used? Used, but AFAIK not for very long.
Caerus Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Used, but AFAIK not for very long.Why did they sell?
DubbelBuys Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Some people might suggest getting another fork and/or wheelset, others seem to like them. It's a pretty solid bit of kit. Just picked up a frame this afternoon Flowta got the deal of 2014 with this frame! When I phoned the owner said he NEVER had so much interest in anything he advertised. If there were like 10 of these frames in that condition & at that price they would have sold in less than a week! @ Flowta: Keep us posted with the build!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Deal of the CENTURY! That's less than I paid for my reign x frame!
DJR Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Yup Flowta, you're lucky! Go buy a Lotto ticket right now and when they pay out, buy us all new bikes! How about that? Good idea?

Flowta Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Yup Flowta, you're lucky! Go buy a Lotto ticket right now and when they pay out, buy us all new bikes! How about that? Good idea? Might just do that
nolipoli Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 I think Flowta has used all of his luck for the year... What fork are you putting on it, out of interest?
Hairy Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I can't wait till Flowta sells that frame, I have called DIPS already
