johannrissik Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 If asking a wholesaler about their model where the model is portrayed as being more consumer friendly compared to other options, but doesn't appear to actually be is trolling, then cool, I'll be that guy. I'm not oblivious to the realities that the ZAR is poked, NINER is a more niche brand and just plain more expensive. What I don't understand is how going direct to Niner makes more (monetary) sense than going to a LBS and buying a different brand for a similar price with better / similar specs. The whole point of going direct is to cut out the costs added by retailers. So comparing the Niners to Spez bikes actually only proves that Spez is more economic, since their advertised prices are what you pay in a shop. Ag nee, Nico man, did you have to do that? TYGA 1

Good troll It was in response to someone comparing the prices to Spez, so really. But it's ok Rouxtjie, I get it. You don't like Specialized. How original.Edit: Spelling Edited September 11, 2015 by NicoBoshoff

Watter koppie? Die een naby die dorp of daai ene wat oorgaan na Oudtshoorn?

Plentipotential Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Reading this thread is interesting, let me ask a question which may help answer a few posts regards price comparisons, and also because I'm curious. When an importer receives a shipment does he receive complete bikes or a frame set with separate components as complete bikes are subject to duty and not bike parts?

I suspect it's complete.

Chro Mo Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Niner is an aspirational brand that delivers awesome product. If I had the $$, I would pony up in no time. Dig me some 3" treads, man! Niner SA 1
Grey Hubs Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 At least this is ONE brand that is not confused about what wheel size works! Niner SA, karma and nathrix 3
