Come and gone and gone. Will have to check who if anyone is doing it at the moment. That in itself is enough to (unfortunately) disqualify anything from them.

Yea sad state of affairs,as I said earlier wish someone would bring in Orange bikes,but if Felt couldn't cut it don't think Orange will.

What will come out on the other side? Other than carbon shards, of course.

 

So we're talking about (looking for) a 29er "one bike" that...

  • Has Stealth dropper routing
  • can do long(er) rides with comfort
  • Can rip the trails on weekends (Tokai, Jonkers,etc)
  • Do the odd Enduro and wouldn't mind the occasonal Paarl shuttle
  • Light (Plastic bike of course!)
  • looks like a mofo

Preferable:

  • Bottle mount inside front tri
  • 120mm or more rear travel
  • 69 or slacker head angle
  • looks like a mofo

Selah.

why a 29er? It's still a child 26er for crying out loud! :clap:

Not even WITH a real fork will it make the cut.

Looking for something to fit THIS bill:

I cant bring myself to like the look of that Cube, that rear suspension linkage looks like scaffolding, kinda like the old Ellsworth Truth.
