s14phoenix Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Yes but you have all the time in the world to DIY in your garage. Believe me - if you look at that video about the visit to Giant's factory there is no time to install a nut to a brake lever to then screw a shifter to it ... 1 dude slaps brakes on the bar, 1 dude slaps shifters on and the last guy slaps some grips on and often times lots of different models come down the same line - new and already existing models 1 second lost is additional cost - you are lucky if they tighten the clamps on the handlebar as your shop would set the brake levers for you anyway. That's why the local bike shops has to complete some of the assembly and do a setup of the bike - you could argue perhaps that your local bike shop should give you the option on I spec - which you would need to pay for as the ispec parts are probably not available with the bike. Over and above this - R60k for an ally Anthem with XT is ridiculous. All bikes are way overpriced these days... think we should organise a protest on the prices of new bikes... if the taxi industry can protest about Quantum prices so can we!!! #NEWBIKEPRICESMUSTFALL

For ally...So for R 50 K right now , in that spec , ally - 1 x 12 what would you get ? i think you are right .. bike prices are ludicrous , but its well priced in the market of over priced bikes .
