Johnny Lawless Posted March 31, 2016 Share So this is where i'm at. 1-Momens, R29k But only in Large, no extra large, a 3 year warranty2-Pyga, ticks all the boxes, again 3 year warranty, like what is that in hours on the bike, 500, its surprising that its the SA companies that have the shortest warranties. 3-Santa Cruz, no stock in the country, I spoke to the rep at the Argus Expo, he recons the new frames should arrive August, they have improved the rear triangle and he recons wait for that, again, lifetime warranty and a crash warranty, the internations stand by their brands.Like any of us will ride the same bike for longer than 3 years!! Give guys at Outdoor Escape in sbosch a call regarding SC frames...and Pyga for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Lawless Posted March 31, 2016 Share If i was you i would hold off on buying a bike for now....after today and the constitutional court ruling amd the ramd bouncing back, we might just be back to R10 to the pound once the ZUPTA SAGA is over P.S. i know its unrealistic but its noce to dream #zuptasmustfall...andMTBprices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy in Pink Posted March 31, 2016 Share I had zero hassle getting a new frame. My old one snapped just before Midnight on New Years Eve, whilst going up to the top of the Soutpansberg to view the New Year fireworks in the town and surrounding areas from above.I decided that a On One Inbred was what I needed, and ordered it online from the UK on the 2rd January , and rode the rebuilt bike on the 7th January.No Issue, and the DHL component was about 50% of the total cost- I have been impressed with is responsiveness.

Cannonized Posted March 31, 2016 Share Just to let the OP know; I was at Mike's Bikes in Greenside this afternoon and they have a Santa Cruz CC (large) frame in stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted March 31, 2016 Share Have you asked your local giant dealer about a Giant Advanced Anthem frame? A mate of mine bought a Trance Advanced frame a while ago, and another friend bought an Anthem late last year. It will make a great race bike, and probably cost way less than the swift, Santa and pyga's you've quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 35k for the frame plus VAT and then you have to ad shipping still. You looking at over 40k for this bike shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
