lol. TBH I would have loved another sixer. But the local availability of the tires I like was jus... dismal. Far more choice in 650. But still. If the reign was 26, then i probably would have gone that route anyway. Plus how many new bikes are actually 26ers? I know of one - the Spittie, and then a couple of others.

Of course.....there cheap as chips .

yeah dude. Done this many times before, and the value they represent is just STUPID. 

 

Though a mate of mine recently told me that a Capra CF got landed here after ALL costs at 47k. Which is also STUPID cheap. They ship here on special request.

I have been known to swing my leg over a 26er. It's a bit broken now but this will soon be remedied.

Yes! First bike one year ago, it was a great place to start. Podium placing bike at a good number. Thinking about "upgrading" but i'm not sure I will ever be faster than my bike can handle! :)
