Pure Savage Posted October 8, 2015 Share Assuming you had a choice between taking Scarlett Johansson or Coenie Oosthuizen away for a romantic weekend, I am sure Coenie would be cheaper, but then it wouldn't really be the same would it?Had to google Coenie Oostthuizen.

Underachiever Posted October 8, 2015 Share Thoughts on this? Available as frameset and priced slightly better than the Niner image.jpegI like it!! A lot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted October 8, 2015 Share Thoughts on this? Available as frameset and priced slightly better than the Niner image.jpeg how much of a saving? I'd still say the RLT9 would be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanpmb Posted October 8, 2015 Share Thoughts on this? Available as frameset and priced slightly better than the Niner image.jpegIs that an alloy frame? If so, they're essentially the same thing. So then I'd compare geometries and what would be more suitable for my needs in this regard and component vs cost value of the two. Sure, Niner has lots of hype around it (especially here at the moment) but a Kona would be a cool, unique bike to ride. Do the 'black & white' spec sheet comparison. rock and LOOK695 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boab Posted October 8, 2015 Share how much of a saving? I'd still say the RLT9 would be a better choice. May I ask how many Rands we are talking for the Kona frameset? And.....it does look rather sexy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOOK695 Posted October 8, 2015 Share The Kona is R700 cheaper(delivered) than the Niner web price. Don't know how much the delivery would cost for the Niner. Both frames are alu with carbon fork, the Kona being TA and BB is threaded where the Niner is pressfit. Prefer the rear caliper placement of the Niner though. Both of them look nice, but I think the Niner has a bit more wow factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOOK695 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Still undecided though. The Planet X London frame is also a nice looking frame, little bit on the plain jane side of looks, but good value coming in at about half the price of the Niner and Kona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just my crappy experiences with PF BBs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
