Hi Guys

Note the response I got from Momsen when I made some enquirers around the new ST-R frames:

 

We have a new 2018 version in the works - we are hoping to have stock for sale around July / August 2017. Pricing around R 5995 incl Vat Retail.

 

Pls keep an eye out on our social media platforms for photos and details.

 

We have some prototypes that are being field tested

 

Exciting stuff!!

For R5995 (+/-) I'll consider placing a pre-order.

Looks promising. Thru axle rear! I like that!

 

That had better be a threaded BB!

I see you have it on a scale. What is the frame weight?

The one shop was keen to see the weight, I wasn't really. Think it was 4.0something kgs.

 

That was with the carbon fork, stem and headset. Nothing else.

 

So yes, I would assume the frame to be around the 3.4kg mark probably... its heavy compared to other steelies I think.

68mm long is hole in frame. So I can space it to 73mm. Yes, it is threaded too.
