Santa Cruz limited Edition Minnaar V10 replica.....

[Stretch]

$ 11k...would you buy one?

 

Greg Minnaar won a third World Championship title, on a stock Santa Cruz V10 downhill frame in front of his home crowd in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. To celebrate his back-to-back gold medals, we’ve created a limited edition Minnaar V10 replica of which only 25 will be made, 23 of which will be planted at select locations around the World.

SC should call it the Minnaar/Mandela special edition. Charge 100k for it. Bono would buy all of them.

An interesting story...greg gave a presentation on the preparation and the actual run for the World cup win the other day. During it he mentioned that in the last 30 minutes or so there was a warm anabatic wind going up the mountain...so at the last minute they had to consider if they needed to change anything to counteract it. It showed in the run times of the top 10...which were slower than those before them.....what he was indirectly saying..was that he kicked everyone's butt EVEN with a head wind that everyone else didnt have!

urgh, the things you have to say and do just to belong, not for me.. but that bike! Man oh man! That bike!

It's very nice and all but it's close to $3000 more than the stock V10 and the only real difference is a fancy spray job.

and the bragging rights to own 1 of 25...if that kind of thing tickles your fancy

 

maybe I should steal one from his shop...he is used to having his bikes stolen....

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed when seeing the custom decals in person at the Champs. In previous years, they used to do custom spray jobs and not just stickers - Steve Peat's Leogang edition frame for example was amazing: http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb8595402/p4pb8595402.jpg

Maybe stickers weighed less than the paint...?

very awesome, and its a S C...

I do agree though. Buy the stock V10 and go visit your local sign guy. Not sure I'd throw $11k down a mountain... might hang it in my lapa though ????

[Grebel]

Does look that way...TBH just winding up Dips... No self respecting Natalian actually has a lapa....we have entertainment areas and chill rooms.

Man Cave. He meant Man Cave and the stupid I Phone auto corrected.

 

TBH is I was gonna spend 11 thousand dallah on a racer replica it would be the limited edition Yamaha R6 that came in the Rossi Fiat Yamaha colors. Of course that would render me instantly homeless.

There's an 1199 Pinagale sitting at CC Gallery at Gateway for R285k. If we wait a bit that'll work out to $11k...
