Odinson Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Horrible choice of bikes. Not one of these bikes can fit two bottle cages in the front triangle.
pista Posted July 29, 2016 Author Posted July 29, 2016 Wag n bietjie! Everyone is adding what they think the best bike would be here (me included). @Pista, why have you chosen those three frames?I want a bike that's still reasonably light and climbs well for the odd marathon distance race.I also want a bike that i can take to a bike park to play with.These seem to fall into that category.

pista Posted August 1, 2016 Author Posted August 1, 2016 How would you get the Devinci here? thats the main issue - Personally I would go with the Devinci cus its different - but its a mission trying to get one sent over here - even from the factory like when i got my Wilson Carbon. Santa Cruz also has local backup - That new 5010 is a beast of a bike - Id go with that from a local perspective - .... or then the Lapierre if you can get a good deal on one from the local agents at G2G in KZN ..... I'm moving to Brussels in a few weeks and theres a few dealers there.
Odinson Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I'm moving to Brussels in a few weeks and theres a few dealers there. We should meet up. I live 5 min from Brussels. If you're heading to Belgium (or anywhere in the EU, as a matter of fact), have a look at the direct sales guys. Their value for money is often times unbeatable. Canyon, YT, Votec, Rose Bikes, Orbea (I think), etc.

[emoji107]Haha, because two bottles within a trail bike's front triangle is a must??? Only trail bike I can think of is the Pyga Stage Max. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Cogent Industries Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Is that old frame going to be sold locally before you go?
pista Posted August 1, 2016 Author Posted August 1, 2016 Is that old frame going to be sold locally before you go?I'm given the bike to a friend of mine.
