You need to deduct tax etc etc.

That deal will cost your about R5500 - R6000.

I might be able to better that...

Hi Ryan. The Full Monty also looks nice. Is it a new version of the London frame?

Pleasure. The Niner is nice, had my heart set on one, but price was too high for me unfortunately

Just so you know - the Niner is a harsh ride in comparison to my road bikes (carbon). I'm talking tar riding.

 

On gravel corrugates, even with the tyre pressure dropped right down, is a beast to hold onto. 

 

But I still love her!!!!!

Different frame. Designed as a gravel bike. Slightly longer dimensions. But you lose the fork lugs. Unfortunately not available as a frameset so gets pricey when bringing in the full bike.

Alu though, yes?... If so, therein lies the problem. The Reynolds version would have you selling the plastic bikes...

Yep, Alu :-( to be honest, my 1st Alu road bike.

 

The Reynolds was just a bit steep at the time. 

 

Interestingly, bike is also flippen heavy - 105 groupset.  Very good for training, but I'm gonna suffer like a dog on the Swartberg Gand Fondo.

All reviews I have read correspond with yours

Apart from the price, which is your business of course, what about the most important question? The colour? :eek:

I will settle quite easily into that neon yellow/green I think.  Better than black.............oops!

You mean the urine colour? :whistling:

 

It's definitely the most eye-catching - congrats! Don't forget to feedback as and when...?
