Recommended Posts

Saw a guy yesterday with a BH epicenduralgroad bike yesterday with a suspension fork. While it's not for me I do like them.

 

FAT BIKES HOWEVER......... I'd rather have chlamydia.

FAT bikes have their place.........on the beach, desert and snow !

It is a pity that there is not more opportunity to test ride bikes.

I would sincerely like to know the difference between the above bike on gravel / corrugated Karoo roads and say a 29er Anthem with Ikon 2.1s. Similar looking suspension.

 

If you put road bars on the Giant, would there be that much difference and why?

I dont know if some mentioned this already.... But MONSTERCROSS springs to mind.... Eish, re-inventing INNOVATING the wheel

Innovation is human nature, not all ideas take off, but without it where would we be.

Absolutely!

 

But you mostly see them on the tar roads of Fourways, because some guy wants to be seen as "quirky" by his mates....

I know, saw a group riding them at 94.7 and Amashova........... :eek:
