Rims...and fork

 

Thanks, but Ive been checking to the interwebs to compare models....cant find any info. Plaas telefoon internet is bietjie stadig.

 

2017 has Reba and Rapids, what did 2016 have?

[Magnetic]

Ask a dealer 2017 red and 2016 orange.

Ask a dealer 2017 red and 2016 orange.

 

That's loco !

 

Wonder if the frame changed in 2017...It says "all new alloy frame"

[BikerBoer]

The Sola 1 has WTP STI i19 rims on. Some good reviews, not sure how it stack up against the Rapids....also the 2017 Storm carbon race bike has the same rims.

 

odd

 

....that 2017 fork though, hmmm.....

What size are you because there is a nice sola 1 L on gumtree. Thats in great nick.

[BikerBoer]

I'm 1.78m, apparently I fall into that little grey area where you don't know what size frame to buy.

I know they say go smaller. Ive done that before.... bigger is better. Love riding a L frame. I am 1.8 btw.

I'm also 1.78 (84 inseam) on a large frame, fits perfectly.

 

Edit: It's like the Sola 1 dropped in spec to Sola 2 with the 2017 model, not cool.
