YUMEYA Posted March 25, 2014 Share And me, I have them on my hardtail and commuter mtb. But don't work with risers / swept back imo. http://www.entopia.org.za/Gallery/cycling/Flash_BlackPanther/Cockpit-s.jpg That is the HT frame I long for!

YUMEYA Posted March 25, 2014 Share I cringe to think of losing R30-R40k's value on a bike in a week. It's nuts, if you're patient and smart you can build up a pretty nice trail weapon with that kind of money. Lets just say that a 100k bike is not primarily aimed at someone that will cringe at the thought of losing 30-40k.

LazyTrailRider Posted March 25, 2014 Share Lets just say that a 100k bike is not primarily aimed at someone that will cringe at the thought of losing 30-40k. Well, yes and no. I guess "primarily" is the operative word here... Even though I can afford to ride one, I still cringe!

Shebeen Posted March 25, 2014 Share Not that a S-strike is to mtb what a P1 is too the supercar. No comparison really it breaks down way too often but theres no shortage of willing participants to belong to that flock of sheep. A P1 speaks for itself, all out performance car, finances no restriction. an S-strike is closer to 911GT-3. lOts of them about, all driven by people who don;t know how to drive and they break down often (or burst into flame - make sure you get yours with oven gloves) Gimme a Morewood, PYGA or Momsen for the Epic anyday.if we had a rand donated for every time GoLefty bashed spaz then the hub could have picked up the nkandla tab by now.
