Ryanpmb Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Will be sad to see it go but a new secret project is unfolding.Ooo ooo I know I know!
hansolo Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I've a GT-R Type CX for quite some time now, really like the concept. I mainly use it on the road, it's got some Kenda Kwick Tendril 35's on. I will definitely go the same route again if I'm buying a "road bike".
Monark Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Okay... I bought Nerd's orange Cotic with the black fork. I am looking at wheels as I will start collecting parts soon.

Monark Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 And thoughts on changing from a steel fork to a carbon fork? Where could I source a nice carbon fork from? I want to keep the canti's though...

Ryanpmb Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 your new Orange Cotic It's still parked in the Big Smoke. I'll be bringing it down for Monark in the next few days.
Monark Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks chaps. I am very keen to see her. Thanks to Nerd for being so accommodating with all of my questions. And thanks to Ryan for helping me get it to Durban (and I am sure for a lot of advice to come). I don't have much cash at the moment so the build will be a slow one. I love my research so will be looking at where I can get my best bang for my buck (105 v Ultegra for example! Is the R2500 extra really worth it?). I am liking those AC wheels more and more.
