I seem to think there's a 2016 Ali one in large at black sheep for 33k. But 99% of the riding you do is on the cycle lane. Shouldn't you be looking at Rook Cycles rather than YT?

a 650b or 29?

I'm almost certain there's a medium carbon 29er and a large ali 29er. both for 33k. Both are blue & black IIRC. If I had 33k I'd get the carbon medium for myself and drop a 60mm stem on there.

English? Get them to swap out the fork from the Medium one.

29er. In large even tho i'm a midget. I wouldn't buy a 650b trail bike in SA unless I was getting for a FAAAAAAAAAT bargain.

Why, resale value?

I Upgraded the stock bar to a Renthal fatbar and I'm running ODI Rogue which I have been doing for 10 years. That's all just personal preference stuff tho.

 

I also swapped out the stock 150mm dropper for a 125mm unit coz I'm a short arse. Oh and I have a fake Spez power saddle on there. Switched back to clips 2 rides ago coz I'm apparently doing Sani next year.

 

 

Wonder if I bumped into you at the Constantia Engen a while ago. Spotted a nice YT with those mods and thad a chat. Rouges and renthal were the things I spotted.

What's the deal with the YT kit at Black Sheep? Are they the guys from the YT website just selling off old stock? Saw they have 2 x M Jeffsy Frames there at R17K a pop. Seems like a good deal but wonder about the warranty.

Think these are carbon frames too. New so Warranty would still stand.

2 x carbon frames the Black one is looking nice. Judging by the reviews the older one was more fun and the new version has lost a little something with the new revisions / geo.

Pretty much. When I sold my reign Savage said I was lucky to get anything for it.

My Jeffsy gets pimped for everything.

 

Slack and fun for the trails I can get hold of in JHB and light and "Fast" when I need a marathon bike.

 

2 months ago I rode race to the sun with a colleague and client. Not having an XC option for the race and knowing that my partners where using an XC bike and a full rigid Zaskar 26" weighing under 9kg I knew I had to make a plan.

 

Out came the Spez Renegade tyres, the spare Ryder seatpost and a seatpost mounted bottle cage. We did 167km at 25.2km/h and Jeffsy surprised me the whole way... and made me thankful I wasn't riding a bloody rigid on the 20km corrugated section!

 

Once home I put the dropper back in, switched the Nobby Nics back on and popped off to break some bones at Rietvlei.

 

The only problem I have with Jeffsy is that I'm getting old and my body is starting to disagree with my personal mantra that if you are not falling you are not learning.
