Bikes of the Epic: Max Menzies' Contraband Rogue

[Nick]

Like many single speeders, Max Menzies is a unique character. That's a kind way of saying that he is a slightly nuts. Think I'm being a little mean? Look no further than his choice of bike for his third Absa Cape Epic.

[Guest]

Radness 

[Beesrib]

Bliksem Lexx, above those legs of steel are some big ass balls. Much respect.

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Max is a bit of a nutter.

[edgarblount]

How do you get that bike up them hills?! Seriaas respect!

[Raab]

Now THAT is nice!

[Rock Guy]

Dividing by zero makes more sense than riding this bike on the Epic. My legs would divorce my body if I tried this.

[Gandalf]

Awww yes! Wicked sick!

[Adrian Fogg]

Huge respect for these nutters!!!

[J∆kk∆ls]

That screw driver makes me feel uneasy. Mad respect though! 

[shaper]

Yoh and a rigid too... 34x20 gearing gives him time to massage his legs on the flats... must be spinning like crazy!!

[nathrix]

Crazy! That Ritchey carbon fork is more forgiving compared to a Niner carbon fork, good choice. What is his team mate riding?

[Neill Du Toit]

He also did the epic last year riding single speed if I remember correctly. Incredible to do a stage race on that bike. Would like to see the top pro's giving that bike a try. I have 34x20 on my bike and barely survive a 15km ride at my trails!
