Dan Dob Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Oh yes! A beautiful frame built in Cape Town and wheels 'handgemaak' in the Cape. An African bike that is world class! Iwan Kemp and pista 2
Yusran Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Amazing workmanship! Can't wait until my turn comes... Gandalf 1
Catatonic_Joe Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I think the bike is flikkin gorgeous, the colour stunning, probably the the nicest looking bike after the Yeti SB5c (my opinion). I fail to see the justification of spending 55k on a steel hardtail. What am I missing...?
Chro Mo Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 12k for the frame is dead reasonable. Buy the frame and source the rest. johannrissik 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I think the bike is flikkin gorgeous, the colour stunning, probably the the nicest looking bike after the Yeti SB5c (my opinion). I fail to see the justification of spending 55k on a steel hardtail. What am I missing...?Spec, pure and simple. Things might not seem like it when you start, but dayum, do they start adding up quickly! In this case, it's the carbon rims. Rest of the spec is reasonable (except the Guide R's, I'd at least have specced the RS) Catatonic_Joe 1

An African bike that is world class!was chatting to 'Mr South' himself the other day...has there been much hoopla over his launch? I've heard nothing but it seems like he's got the real deal going.
NE1L Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) This bike is inspirational. Might find myself making my way to St Stithians this weekend Edited October 22, 2015 by NE1L Iwan Kemp 1
Master216 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 The wheels sound interesting, Carbon rims made in Cape Town and not imported from China! winning
