Gustav1 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 I like the idea of a steel frame. My road bike that I ride once a blue moon is a Daccordi Griffe, 20 odd year old steely. Where can one have a look at it???

Where can one have a look at it???Loads of options when it comes to steel. Plenty niners, ritcheys, on ones, salsa, all city, etc... Ryan will be able to tell you where to see the on one's. If you in jhb Grant can help you at Sprocket and Jack in parkwood.
quintonb Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Depending on your budget, why not have a look at David Mercer down in Cape Town. He could custom build you a bike for your needs.
RockCoach Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Contraband steel bikes designed right here in Randburg should be landing shortly. Like the fact that you can run either 27.5" or 29" wheels. SS with eccentric BB or geared. And they just look so cool in the brushed steel look. Definitely going to build myself one when they arrive. The Hub even reviewed them somewhere...

Anticlimb Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Which big gun would wish to do epic. At my peak weight I must be 110 to 115kg. Epic is a dream or joberg2c but need to find a rider of same weight. Maybe same size too 6.8" or 205cmGo for it. I was 104 kg in last yrs Epic. My partner 72 kg. We finished bout 40 teams from last. But we no longer friends. Finding a partner same weight as you gonna be difficult.
