raptor-22 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Or is he comparing a Leyland nomad to a mahindra? Cos then the mahindra is still a clear winner Iwan Kemp, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Brawler 3
NicoBoshoff Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Honestly interested now. How are the 2 playing different sports? Seems you're buying into the SC hype now... As for the dollar price, no relevance here in our market. Dragons only brings in framesets on the SC stuff, owing to most SC owners / buyers wanting a custom build. And at ~45k for the frame alone, there's no way you'll get anywhere close to the cost of that full bike pictured there. So no - still 15-20k more than the giant. gx gruppo - 7kPike - 10k (if you're VERY lucky)Wheels - 6k (Flow ex / Hope)cockpit - 2ktyres - 1.5ksaddle - 1kdropper - 6k (2,500 if giant)brakes - 3k (xt) That's a build kit cost of R 36,500, bringing you to 80k. The same way AB de Villiers and Stiaan van Zyl are both cricketers. But their not really both playing cricket. But seriously, I'm not going to continue this debate. You are relentless. So if you want, I'll concede. You win. Please stop. I give up. I'm sorry I insulted your bike. Tell it I apologise.
Odinson Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Myles and Nico should have an MTB duel to settle this scrap.
Nick Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Myles and Nico should have an MTB duel to settle this scrap. We'll bring our cameras. Just let me know the time and place. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Hairy and Odinson 3
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Myles and Nico should have an MTB duel to settle this scrap.I'll lose. Nico's a better rider than I am by quite a way. Plus, I'm kinda fat and unfit atm. Which means I run out of steam very quickly... Edited December 2, 2015 by Myles Mayhew

No, seriously, I want to know your reasoning, besides "Santa Cruz Nomad OMG Jizzz" Besides - my relentlessness was initially as a result of your total ignorance of how exchange rate fluctuations affect pricing, then of your vehicular comparison... Now it's genuine interest as to why you made that comparison. And your basis for saying it, other than drinking the SC kool-aid. Edited December 2, 2015 by Myles Mayhew

Slowbee Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I'll lose. Nico's a better rider than I am by quite a way. Plus, I'm kinda fat and unfit atm. Which means I run out of steam very quickly... except going downhill, then it is talent.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) except going downhill, then it is talent.nah. Fitness still plays a HUGE role. Plus, I have a *thing* with gaps and drops. Slowly trying to cure it. Maybe on the new Red line at Jonkers I'll have a chance, but yeah naaah. His car / cricket analogy works with the 2 of us, that's for sure! LOL Edited December 2, 2015 by Myles Mayhew
Duane_Bosch Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) except going downhill, then it is talent.Nico is a very good rider. Up and down. He's the only person I've ever seen at Morgins and Mont Cheri on a 29er (Steeeeeeep) He's also an advocate so I'd not recommend getting into a battle of whits with him unless you have your facts very straight.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Nico is a very good rider.yeah, he is. Hence my statement above. I'd get my arse handed to me if it came down to a race.
Johny Bravo Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 No, seriously, I want to know your reasoning, besides "Santa Cruz Nomad OMG Jizzz" Besides - my relentlessness was initially as a result of your total ignorance of how exchange rate fluctuations affect pricing, then of your vehicular comparison... Now it's genuine interest as to why you made that comparison. And your basis for saying it, other than drinking the SC kool-aid. For what its worth, I would much much rather have the Giant. Santa Cruz is slowly taking over the crown from Spez, as the bike for posers.

A battle of wits scares me not a whit, should you be wondering.
