gummibear Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Cannondale Scalpel or S-Works Epic would be a good start.
DIPSLICK Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Cannondale Scalpel or S-Works Epic would be a good start.NOT IN THAT PRICE RANGE SURELY
jcza Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Depends on components & wheels. In that price range prob Vipa or Scott
gummibear Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 NOT IN THAT PRICE RANGE SURELY Used If he wants new then Momsen Vipa will be in that price DIPSLICK and Brandon P 2

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Same spec on the 2 bikes? at 65k the vipa probably didn't have carbon wheels, so probably not.
Pooyan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) 2014 Momsen Vipa with XT spec 11.19kg (large excl pedals) for 51k- according to momsen's website Edited April 25, 2014 by Pooyan
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 2014 Momsen Vipa with XT spec 11.19kg (large excl pedals) for 51k- according to momsen's website Change to XX1 / X01 and a lighter cockpit and wheels, and BAM you're sub 10. Maybe even sub 9.5

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Saw an article recently on a VIPA coming in at 9.8kg. Had the new Valour carbon wheels, would imagine cost to be around R85K. Edited April 25, 2014 by Steven Knoetze (sk27)
