Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted August 13, 2014 Share If it's a Mondraker it will be a Foxy (29ers are out this round). Commencal is a very tasty option...until I saw the V3 weighed close to 4kg fframe and shock. That's a bit rough. Lappierre, oh Lappierre how I want thee! But I'm a bit scared to buy a frame that's imported by a shop. You never know what will happen when they drop it. Same with the "other" options. Big risk if/when something goes wrong. Then again, look at it:http://www.mtbcult.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/DSC9278.jpg Suggested the Factor to keep to the 29er platform but the Foxy carbon XR is by far the better option. The forward geometry with the super short(30mm) stem looks so good.The Cube's rear suspension layout doesn't look right to me, like a kiddies playground see-saw!!

Iwan Kemp Posted August 13, 2014 Share Kraai deep down you know this is the smart buy... Holy sheet, thank heavens the reach is too short! Don't tell Mayhem, but of the four SC's being mentioned the Nomad is spot on, Bronson a little off, the 5010 even further and the LTC the farthestestness. Don't ****ing tell him. For all our sakes. Remember the scene in Spanglish with the dog and the ball and don't throw the ball cause you will never hear the end of it and then she threw the ball?

Iwan Kemp Posted August 13, 2014 Share Camelbak. For her, you'd make an exception... 1. Geo is out.2. Not budging Big enough deal for me to be a deal breaker. Love being able to grab a bottle and jump on the bike and go for a cruise. Love it. Bikes with two mounts are even higher regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted August 13, 2014 Share Fair enough, bro. The simple things, ne? Yeah. Maybe sounds stupid to overlook a bike just for that, but it matters enough to me. AND we are spoiled for choice so no reason to not get exactly what I want. It's a lot of randallas... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable routing is a mess4. No stealth dropper routing is enough of a deal for me Huge pity. Have ridden one and it's a great bike. Tread loved their time on theirs and it's available OE now with a DBIline. But even back then it was too cramped compared to my Vipa. And there's no way I'm going long stem EVER AGAIN. Life's too short to be riding a long stem. Edited August 13, 2014 by Iwan Kemp Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellies_gaz Posted August 13, 2014 Share http://www.canyon.com/i/bikes/bikedetail/2014/strive-cf-9-team_c1085.png Unbeatable in terms of value. Pity Canyon don't ship to SA, I'd love a Spectral 29 ex. Seeing as we're on the topic of direct sales companies who don't ship over here... Why not become the envy of the gravity community and get a YT Capra Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted August 13, 2014 Share Let's just say I'm glad they don't ship here...otherwise I'd have to scratch a coupl of "must haves" off my list! http://cdn3.coresites.mpora.com/dirt_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Yellow-Wall-rhs_W.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
