PhilipV Posted November 14, 2016 Share never understood the argument of a fleet being high maintenance. The way I figure it, the more bikes you have, the less mileage per bike per month and therefore less maintenance. If you do say 2k km per month on 5 bikes, the cost per km must surely be the same per km if you had one bike...when taking the long term view?Not really. Some bikes are more maintenance intensive than others. Ie the tyres on a commuter is probably cheaper than the geax graphene tyres that uses yarn woven from the hair of red headed virgins and thus the wear on tyres is less. Same with a SS compared to a Sram 1x drive train (those cassettes come with eye watering prices. And as soon as you need to refresh Stans on 4 Wheelsets you start looking for specials.

T-Bob Posted November 17, 2016 Share I recently got a 650b Mattoc... and I don't have a 650b bike. Well I kinda did have a Norco Range but that fell through. So i've been scratching my head wondering what the hell I'm going to do with it. Then this popped up on CRC Black Friday for R2.5K or should I rather look for an Orange Crush rather for a bit more. Thoughts? It's been a while since I've ridden a HT and it could be a lot of fun. Odinson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Shot 2016-11-18 at 12.16.41 AM.pngThat NS Eccentric is the business..... at that price you would be silly to pass on it. The Mattoc and that will marry beautifully and with spare parts and a decent 2nd hand wheelset you could build the only bike you really need in Cape Town for around 10 000 ZAR... Basically the best investment you will ever make. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdevil Posted November 18, 2016 Share My type of all mountain hardtail. Long, low and slack with plus size tires which helps with the small bump on the rear end.

T-Bob Posted November 18, 2016 Share No, feck - you don't have a mate who can help you out!?!?!?!?! Well I could ask the Mrs... but that will start a whole world of explaining. Why do you need a frame? Errr because I've got a fork. Why do you need another fork? errr...You've just bought one... that replaces the other one you've just bought. It's a different sized for for different sized wheel.... that I don't have yet. Might not actually. Need to find a bro with a CC asap.

T-Bob Posted November 18, 2016 Share Wish that CRC deal was a steel frame. I saw On One were having an extra 25% off frames and stuff even if they are already reduced. They have new steel hooligan bike that dips under £200 with that extra discount. cpelser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
