Didnt get to ride that day due to rain, and I've been off the bike since then with knee issues that require surgery next week, so a few more weeks until I can enjoy it !

 

Shimano Zee 170mm cranks on the way to complete the Zee brand usage + less pain on my knee.

some nice ST-R's spotted at this past weekend's SingleSpeed Champs!

 

we still have a few of these frames at just R 4995!!!! probably priced too cheap but we would prefer to see them on the TRAILS instead of in our warehouse! we are offering DIRECT at this price - visit our website to order here

 

some pics below:

Any update? I'm considering a similar fork, but rather 120mm.

The Revelation is flexy, so going with a Pike instead, the one I'm getting is 140mm, but I have a 120mm airspring for it as well, which I'm thinking of going with.

 

Otherwise the bike is great to ride, climbs way better than I expected, still need to take it out for some heavier trail stuff.

Thanks, very useful!

 

Really wonder how the bike performs with a suspension fork, and the right fork is key.

 

So you push the bike down some technical trails yes? That's why you considering the pike? Or is it just for stiffness purposes?
