Iwan Kemp Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 And if I am not mistaken, the chaps at giant, that you spaz boys are taking pot shot s at, will be manufacturing the spaz frames! Not true. Do share facilities with Merida who owns a stake in Specialized, though.
GLuvsMtb Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I think you're confused......actually based on your previous posts you clearly are confused. It all makes sense nowYou use the term 'think' way too loosely.
GoLefty!! Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 From the Epic website: The Absa Cape Epic is widely regarded as the world’s premier international mountain bike stage race and it is the most televised mountain bike race of all time. Since its inception in 2004, the Absa Cape Epic has generated more than 24 500 hours of TV coverage in Europe, America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. "World's most widely" could be interpreted in many ways. Amount of countries, viewers, amount of TV slots...it's all relative. Just back from the middle east and Europe and Couldn't find it on any channel.Just saying... XCO,..........every event is on live. Hype is hype.
Johny Bravo Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Inside line says 30% of Epic starters were on Epics. Epic. Just repeating info, makes no difference to me who's riding how many of what many.Me neither. Had the oppurtunity to get real up close to the winning machines today after the race. I like Spez. But I am not blindfolded. Those Canyon bikes are absolutely stunning. I even drooled over the green Canondale leftys with enve rims. Beautifull
GoLefty!! Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 You use the term 'think' way too loosely. I know but I give you the benefit of the doubt. I realise I shoudn't
NicoBoshoff Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 So nothing on the "overpriced" claim? Guess it's easier to throw poo than actually bring facts. Funny thing is, the idiocy of the claim is what gets me. The average person that criticises someone because of the brand of bike or wheelsize they ride is hardly someone who's opinion means squat. Just disappointed in the flagrant idiocy. Probably also the same people that boycot Woolies and think Shell is out to poison all our water. Shem.
GoLefty!! Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Not true. Do share facilities with Merida who owns a stake in Specialized, though. you sure.... Because its an open secret that Giant are building some of the Spaz bikes as of 2015..

Speak to some retailers who are willing to tell you the truth about the business model.

GLuvsMtb Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I know but I give you the benefit of the doubt. I realise I shoudn'tapology accepted. Now lets move on.
GoLefty!! Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 that's the best you can come up with........eish
Iwan Kemp Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 you sure.... Because its an open secret that Giant are building some of the Spaz bikes as of 2015.. Hey, I could be wrong. With the increase in numbers it's possible they had to rope in another factory. Will try and get confirmation. But to be honest that wouldn't make any difference to me either way. Giant know how to glue carbon and weld alu tubes. They are MASSIVE so will be able to offer serious value in terms of numbers. On another note, would be interesting to know how many guys weren't on Anthems due to Giant's push for 27.5 bikes.
nathrix Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Jeeees, you girls are hitting the keyboards hard tonight and it's not even Friday yet!!!!
GLuvsMtb Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 that's the best you can come up with........eishOh I can take the bait drop it a few levels, but there are boundaries here. Lets keep it above the belt ladies.
NicoBoshoff Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Nico how do you define overpriced? Speak to some retailers who are willing to tell you the truth about the business model.Disproportionately more expensive than comparable builds on other brands. Yes I'm sure they're model allows for the highest profit margin out there. Bloody capitalist pigs. How dare they.
rudi-h Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 A bigger question to me than the choice of manufacturer is why do 95% of mtbers keep choosing aggressive head angle, short travel, long stem, flat bar, narrow wheeled machines when you can get a really fast and rad enduro bike (even a spez if you want) for the same price as a spez epic expert?
