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)

Oh yes! A beautiful frame built in Cape Town and wheels 'handgemaak' in the Cape. 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.
