DIPSLICK Posted March 15, 2017 Share Thank you for all the input guys, much appreciated. Patchelicious will have a good laugh at this, my list has had somewhat of an overhaul. I went and chatted to some bike shop owners today and was steered away from the race snake type machines as per Rocket Boy's suggestions . So Cube was a no go due to limited travel and pivots not being great for my weight (this from a Cube stockist). Momsen Vipa also too race snakish for me (also from a Momsen stockist). Chatted to Pyga stockist regarding a Pyga Stage/Max/Mini Max and minimum build would be in the 85k range so he also suggested SC. So I went and tried out a SC Tallboy C and getting a final pricing today. Dipslick I will give a Client a call too - thanks for suggestion In short looks like it's coming down to SC Tallboy C or Spez Camber - leaning towards the former. Thanks again for all the help/comments. the SC TALL BOY you need not take the Cphone clint go to him and ask him to show you the difference and the difference in the costing, weigh it up and decide according to common sense and your wallet,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willys Posted March 15, 2017 Share Have a close look at the Cube again. But check the HPC120 and not the AMC. Its quite a bit more comfy and warranty still in tact for 110kg. Price and component wise its a clever buy. 120mm travel and relaxed Geometry. Mine has now done 300km since I bought it end of Feb and I'm loving it. Had a Merida Big Ninety nine dually prior to the Cube and I cracked the frame. Warranty did not work out as I bought it second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ruinaard Posted March 15, 2017 Share Does Spez come with a lifetime warranty on the frame?He'll need it with his 110kgsBeen riding Specialized carbon frames between 108 and 115 kgs for the past ten years and have yet to break one of them.

mtb impi Posted March 15, 2017 Share You want to enjoy your BIKE and many more rides after the Sani.What do you like to ride? That is the weapon of choice!If you want to play and have fun, get a trail orientated bike.I think way to many riders are hellbent and stuck on a marathon/race bike/setup.My 2c.

Wet Ears Posted March 16, 2017 Share its worth the waitProblem is I do not have a bike in the interim (it was misappropriated) and I have Sani coming up - otherwise I would have no issues waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonized Posted March 25, 2017 Share Did you end up buying something? I have decided to put my SC Tallboy 2 CC (size large) up for sale. It's got a great build. Haven't listed it on here yet, but let me know if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Ears Posted April 13, 2017 Share Thought it only right to give an update considering the time taken by many to give advice. After some stellar service from the guys at Concept Cyclery Cedar I came very close to pulling the trigger on the Camber. I did however manage to test a Tallboy and ended up going with the Tallboy 3 C. Dipslick, I got it from Clint, thanks for the referral, he was fantastic, collected it today and will be riding it tomorrow. Enjoy the long weekend all!
