Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 21, 2014 Share Camber Evo 2015 is the bike to have. LOL. Dude, I'm extremely happy with my current bike. Yes, she's a porker. Yes, she has her faults (needs a volume adjuster chip / spacer in the rear shock 'cos I'm a fatkid and the high volume can isn't for me) but - I'll be hard put to sell her, and in the same breath spend 50k to get a replacement bike of equivalent spec and fun. She gives me SO many smiles on the way down, and the only reason I don't smile on the way up is 'cos I'm not into self mutilation, and I'm an unfit SOB. So no - not anytime soon!

Bizkit031 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Like what? Lets forget about the Rs1 version, thats the reason for the R130k pricetag. Lets look at the normal world cup at R110 000. Cannondale Scalpel, Scott Scale 900, Rocky mountain Element 999rsl, Trek Superfly, all at the R100 000 mark. My apologies Johny,I am talking about Spez as a brand,so many around and I do like them,but it's kind of like years ago when Kona and Trek flooded our market and almost every guy rode one. I just like to ride a brand that not many are on,that's just me,the only 1 criticism I have for Spez is their price otherwise you can fault the product. The magnitude of the the brand speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magnitude of the the brand speaks for itself.I have been involved in te cycle industry for the past 26 years ,14 if those so heavily that I have not had leave longer than a week in those 14 years, it's a hard industry like many others and has issued like many others.The "flavor of the month" brands have always been around.It started way back with Peugeot, Alpina, Zini ,Mongoose, GT ,Trek, Giant, GT again ,Raleigh, Merida........ And the trend never ends ,it just goes on and on, that if why more old school guys are going for niche and boutique brands and bikes .

MTB hooligan Posted July 22, 2014 Share And how many of these bikes are bought on loans? Know of a Specialized shop that had to order even more stock for this year alone cause the bikes are flying due to the new loan company ( http://www.bikelife.co.za/ ) on the market. Hard to believe that anyone can buy bikes like these cash. Even a 30k - 50k bike cash is a hard reach. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
