Remember the prices of the shock service. R700 for a 50hour service and then R1500 every 150 hours. That is price for your shock/brain combo. It might be cheaper in the short term, but might cost you in the long run. Do the math and then decide.

 

Otherwise I have no regrets with the purchase of my Epic. Great bike.

I really really really love the Vipa. Really. But I feel being proudly South African etc etc, they should offer us a better price. Not saying its overpriced at all, not what I am saying, I just feel it could be cheaper. Maybe because I cant afford it.

This isn't exactly the greatest line of argument, especially when comparing it to a $pecialized...

Just keep in mind economies of scale.

I dont know why everyone seems to think Spez is sooooo expensive. The s-works models are crazy, rest of the bikes are quite fair I think if you shop around. Oh well. My vote still goes for the Epic. The King of cross country racing.

Got to be the vipa! U gonna spend that type of cash on a comp! Just doesn't sit right. Why not spice it up with a Lynskey u could get on one of those bad boys for about 40-50k.

 

The Lynskey has personality that I find both those other choices lack.

Cause they ARE sooooo expensive. Seriously, for the same cash, you can get a better specced anything else. Specialized just seem to the market under some sort of spell.

Vipa. Exclusivity, a proper suspension platform, a true trail weapon and something completely different to the spazzes.

 

Don't come here with your reasoning and common sense.
