spennyj Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Hi, I have bought a high end Cannondale MTB frame and have all the components. I'm looking for a bike builder who is competent and trustworthy in the Johannesburg area.
WrightJnr Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Eish. You've gotten to the BEST part and now you want to outsource it. Nothing better than building a new bike yourself from scratch.
Lurch the stalker Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Eish. You've gotten to the BEST part and now you want to outsource it. Nothing better than building a new bike yourself from scratch.Depends on the skill level. Personally, if I built a bike from scratch, I'm likely to land up with a toaster or something
rvdm1 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Depends on the skill level. Personally, if I built a bike from scratch, I'm likely to land up with a toaster or something Now that is true skill. If you have the time and some spare cash to spend on tools it is actually very usefull to go through the process of building it yourself. With youtube and maybe parktool's big blue book there isn't much you won't be able to learn how to do.
spennyj Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Speak to Anton at Summit Cycles.Thanks will give him a shout, would love to do myself but dont want to cock anything up
porqui Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 With google and youtube on your side you can't cock it up and the more tricky bits your lbs will do for you.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks will give him a shout, would love to do myself but dont want to cock anything upAnton will sort you out with a really well built bike. Need look no further. Oh. Yes. Jason at The Trailhead is also handy with a spanner
Spokey Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Anton will sort you out with a really well built bike. Need look no further.Oh. Yes. Jason at The Trailhead is also handy with a spannerCan vouch for both. Have had wheels built up by both fellows, fine job done!
Riaan H Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Or try Casper Bester from Chain Wizard on 082 508 6490. He runs a mobile service and will build it at your premises during business hours. He did my build-over today, very happy.
