The lesser known Bike brands

Recommended Posts

The thread seems to have spread to all lesser known brands versus those we are or have ridden.

 

So, here's my 2 cents!

 

Black Sheep Custom Titanium

lesser known either way - this middle one, shew!

I'm sure there's a Hubber that had a bespoke Black Sheep made up?

Amasendenja was the one. A bespoke singlespeed if I remember. BJ show yourself

A Yeti 575, a Raleigh, repainted for my daughter, and a Ragley Bigwig.

I love the Yeti for playing in the mountain, and I sometimes just sit and look at it, beautiful lines. But on a long ride I prefer the Ragley, it's very comfortable.7a1276e4335134fdf4aeede0ca03b5ef.jpg9ec986a9bdd4f99b7ec6449122c4fd28.jpg012ab06334a097b3e901ebf5c588d6f4.jpg34fe864793d44472c673333d4c766a27.jpg

http://www.neilprydebikes.net/bikes.html

 

This is the only active site for NeilPryde bikes I could find and all dealers listed are in South East Asia

 

 

the spat really highlighted how stupid american's are.

 

Alize` pronouced "alee zay"

 

Allez pronounced "Alay"

 

I mean *%#(,........... the "zee" is clearly discernible to all cultures except to a North American. So therefore the brand must be squashed because they couldn't give a &*$@ about anyone else's culture or language and understanding the differences

i had nearly forgotten about this brand...about 7 years ago or maybe more they come on the scene in the UK...The bikes were stunning in the flesh and has decent specs.From what i heard from owners they feel the bikes are still race bikes and are a quality build...

Lekker Dean, it's an awesome smile. More 26ers should go to kids to get them on bikes, instead of hanging in garages.

Knew a guy with a Cube, he bought it in the Netherlands while doing his PhD there and when he came back to SA the bike came with. 

 

I started riding just as 29er bikes became the norm so I never rode a 26er. Today I took the 26er to my favourite trails, Bottelary Hills. It was sublime! This little, and I use the term little because I normally ride a XL 29er and this is a medium (18") frame 26er - this thing is so nimble.

I did read some reviews on the interwebs and people seemed to rant and rave about how awesome these were (back in 2004/2005). I now know why that is.

Now with new tyres and red alloy valve caps

Tubeless tyres are on their way, so these low mileage ones might go up for sale soon.
