G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted July 20, 2014 Share Normally frame sets and that is around R 55 k. Correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted July 20, 2014 Share You are right, and thats why I bought the Marathon version. Its still expensive R75k, but i think its the best one in the range. The Marathon is a good option but only issue with the 2015 Marathon is that it will come fitted with a Fox fork with no brain option. Dont know why they have done this...

G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted July 20, 2014 Share With SSpecialized's shitty attitude and tendency to sue anyone they can in the cycling industry this thing could be made out of pixie ****, priced at R200k and I would still never consider buying it - if I DID have the money! ;-) Go and ride one and then we will talk again.

G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted July 20, 2014 Share I do agree Marathon is best top end bike value for money in the Spec range ........ BUT damn the World Cup is nice. I have the white version, just bloody awesome. Stunning bike. In 2 minds to sell for the 2015 because theres absolutely no difference except for the seatpost, mine has the carbon rail seat as well. And it has so little mileage on it. I just love it Jacques Viljoen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted July 20, 2014 Share Thanks for the post Johny, nice one. This time of the year is the best where we wait for those pics of the next years models. And then comes the agonizing wait for them to arrive on our shores. Johny Bravo and Jacques Viljoen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really interested in the new Camber, but very few details available. G e r h a r d Odendaal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantRH Posted July 20, 2014 Share Would it be possible to retrofit the dropper seat? Same frame, can't see why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just make up for not riding a spez on weekends. What was I thinking. Nothing makes up for that. G e r h a r d Odendaal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted July 21, 2014 Share says the guy with a snail as an avatar? We never know, it could be the same as guys calling their 6 foot 4 gigantic friend TINY. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted July 21, 2014 Share Definitely the most POLARISING bike model out there. This debate could only be more productive if we could get Lance to ride one in the gaza strip on an LCHF diet, listening to illegally downloaded MP3s on his android smartphone wearing powerbands, drinking pepsi.
