GrahamS2 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Posted August 14, 2017 Thank goodness you buy a car every alternative year .... works out cheaper I did say every few years... That Intense Primer is looking like a very interesting option! And I see Merlin has the 2017 models on a clearance currently.
EmptyB Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I have a 110 as well. I also get an itch every now and then, but I find if you lie down for a little while, the feeling goes away and you as happy as larry for another year. Its quite a bugger riding such an amazing bike.Ditto 100%. Farking itch does keep coming though...
CJ Van Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 nothing resolves the itch... Apply N+1 liberally whenever the need arises...Applying N+1 to liberally could lead to S-1, so be careful with that N+1 lotion.
the nerd Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I'd go for the Stage Max: Nothing like the 110Amazingly versatile bike! Still looking out for our local dudes!
Matchstix Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 on the shorter travel list I will drool over a kona hei heiRocky mountain element.Trek fuel ex also n lekker option.
Danger Dassie Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Nothing like a custom paint job to breath new life into an old steed.
SCD Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Rode the Primer for two days on Vancouver Island. Very capable climber for the trail muncher hidden in it . Maybe a bit of an overkill for most of SA's trails though. How about the new Rocky Element? Spoke to a bloke in BC who had this and a Spez Camber and was to settle for the Element because he found it to be a better climber AND more capable in the rough. But here I am admittedly biased... I did say every few years... That Intense Primer is looking like a very interesting option! And I see Merlin has the 2017 models on a clearance currently.
Matchstix Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Mates of mine in germany had an altitude sice he has his new element with a pike and 120 travel he says he doesn't ride it anymore
T-Bob Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Been having similar itches - Evil Following THIS!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Matchstix Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 coming from a shopaholic of bikes . . . I wouldnt trust it . . Think hellocolour changes bikes and parts more than he does his underwear
T-Bob Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 coming from a shopaholic of bikes . . . I wouldnt trust it . . Think hellocolour changes bikes and parts more than he does his underwear Bwhahahaahah... Humm. You might have point. But any way, would get an Intense Tracer Carbon for R11K, a Ohlins STX 22, a CC inline coil, some carbon rims from LB or Nextie or just new jocks??? Must stop... it's now the kids inheritance! Ah, screw them.
GrahamS2 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Posted August 16, 2017 Battling to talk myself out of this idea. Other than the crud wheelset, this is cracking value! https://www.merlincycles.com/intense-primer-pro-build-29er-mountain-bike-2017-94517.html

GrahamS2 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Posted August 16, 2017 ......so when is it arriving ..... Local pricing is not too far off, so let's see... Need to flog the current steed at some point too.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Local pricing is not too far off, so let's see... Need to flog the current steed at some point too. remember you'll pay 15% duty & VAT over that when it lands... so that price there needs to go up by 32.71%
