Hi All,

 

Just wanted to share my build with you.

Haven't put it on a scale but should be dead on 10kg's

 

The start was a cracked frame,

it was cracked on the top tube where the sanding is.

I sent it off to Bogus One who did a fantastic job.

I have yet to ride her as there is a small issue with the brakes but will put her through her paces soon.

 

Could not be happier with the build.

Thanks again Bogus One for the awesome work.

if you wouldnt mind posting such detailed information- I would appreciate a cost breakdown of building this? 

Ok so this took a bit of time to get around to.

see below

Part Type Paid       Frame GF Superfly Carbon 17.5"  R    2 550.00 Headset    Free  Cables/Installation    R       295.00 Fork 2012 Reba Single Chamber  R    2 500.00 Wheels Easton EA 70 XC 15mm  R    3 045.00 Skewers Mavic  R       220.00 Rotors F Aligator 160mm Crown  R       250.00   R Aligator 140mm Windcutter  R       175.00 HandleBars FSA 680mm  R       650.00 Stem Bontrager 80mm  R         50.00 Spacers Carbon  R       125.00 Grips Momsen  R       220.00 Seatpost Thompsons 27.2 410mm  R       500.00 Saddle Selle SLR XC Flow Manganese  R       899.00 Collar Momsen  R       120.00 BB XT  R    1 700.00 Crank XT   Chainring Race Face 36T  R       650.00 chain  SLX   Cassette SLX/XT   Deraileur XT 10 Speed Long Cage   Shifter XT   Brakes XT  R    1 500.00                  R 15 449.00      R 12 299.00

 

The Fork and the chainring i didnt pay for as i swapped parts for the fork and i took the chairing off of my old bike as i did with the pedals.

So the actual cost for the build is the second figure and yes i only paid R 1 500 for an XT groupset ex brakes.
