Odinson Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Some websites are listing the 2016 Camber Comp Carbon as $3800. That equates to about 3400 Euro. For that money (in Europe) you can get a Canyon Spectral CF 9.0 with the following spec: FRAME CANYON SPECTRAL CFREAR SHOCK CANE CREEK DBINLINEFORK ROCKSHOX PIKE RCT3 SOLO AIRHEADSET CANE CREEK 40REAR DERAILLEUR SRAM X0 TYPE 2, 10SDERAILLEUR HANGER SCHALTAUGE NR. 26FRONT DERAILLEUR SRAM X0, 10SCHAIN GUIDE CANYON E168SHIFTERS SRAM X0, 10SBRAKES SRAM GUIDE RSCASSETTE SRAM FORCE, 10SWHEELSET DT SWISS XM 1501 SPLINETYRES CONTINENTAL TRAIL KING PROTECTION 2.2CRANKS SRAM X0, 10SCHAINRINGS 24 | 38CHAIN KMC X10-93BOTTOM BRACKET SRAM GXP PRESSFITSTEM CANYON V12HANDLEBAR CANYON H15 RISE ALGRIPS ERGON GE1SADDLE ERGON SME30SEAT POST ROCKSHOX REVERB STEALTH Given, it doesn't have a 1X11 transmission, but my guess is that'll trump the Spez in all other respect.

JohanC Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Spoke to the guy from FC two weeks ago. New 2016 S-Works Epic frame with RS1 (frame and fork only!) costs R81 000! Crazy!
NicoBoshoff Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah, as much as I love the new stuff coming out lately, unless I have a millionaire grandfather I didn't know about previously, I don't realistically see myself owning a new bike soon. The On One Codeine framesets are great value, but they can't run a bottlecage, which to me is a massive issue. Pity really, because R15.5k for a great frame and Monarch Plus or CCDB is brilliant and I would be able to rebuild all my existing parts on to it, but again, I need a bottlecage. Hate packs.Other than that there aren't any viable frameset options in the market that I know of. Spez did some last year and the Camber Carbon Evo frameset was a steal, but I am not sure they are making framesets available again this year (other than the Epic mentioned above it seems). Anybody know of other decent 29'er trailbike frameset options. 130-140mm+ travel, 67-68deg. head angle (iow, don't say Pyga 110).

Seems the Comp Carbon Camber (and all Stumpies below Expert level - which is R82k ) still come 2x10. Suddenly the Pyga Stage is looking very reasonable.
NicoBoshoff Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Suddenly the Pyga Stage is looking very reasonable.So much for innovation driven deflation...
NGUTF Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 only issue I have is the lack of a rear remote lockout. only issue I have is the lack of a rear remote lockout. Agreed, don't understand why they did that
wepat Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Seems the Comp Carbon Camber (and all Stumpies below Expert level - which is R82k ) still come 2x10. Hi Nico, the Comp Carbon is Sram 1x11 GX as standard
mtbride Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Agreed, don't understand why they did that Ja takes a while to get used to the location, but I can change it in a race without hassle most of the time without looking down.
NicoBoshoff Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Hi Nico, the Comp Carbon is Sram 1x11 GX as standardAh, ok thanks. Would help if Spez updates its website with the 2016 range.
nonky Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Camber Comp Carbon price = $3,800 (same as 2014) = ZAR48,900 + 14% VAT = ZAR55,750.The price of the camber comp carbon has NOT changed, as far as I can see..You can thank our politicians for the rand devaluation / price increase (=ZAR15k in 24mo).

But I don't want this to become a Spez debate, because frankly bikes in general have just become retardedly expensive. Even for people living in Dollarland.
rudi-h Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 That is crazy. I would never even think about that, when there is a S- Works Stumpjumper fsr in the classifieds for R45k. Absolutely mint condition.An s-works is like a jeep/bmw/French car. It's awesome to have and great to ride until it goes out of service plan... And an s-works (especially a 2nd hand one) never had a service plan to start with. A friend paid R15k for a service on one of these flashy steeds once.

Its not a car, it doesnt come with a service plan. It cost me R300 to service. Just like my girlfriends normal Epic. And really, a Jeep/ French car, awsome to have. . Not for me, ever.

Why not the Pyga?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I am in the same boat - looking for a new bike - first real full susser. Why not the Pyga?Cos the pyga is 110mm and he's looking for something in the 130/140mm range,
