MORNE Posted May 14, 2020 Share That's the stuff dreams are made of! The market for that type of bike is very small, the people in that market that can afford that level of build even smaller, and the 1 or 2 that can will probably buy new. I am afraid that bike is gonna sit for a while...not to mention IF you were in the market for spending that amount on a bike...it would have to be MR Waynemol's Pygo Mobu instead. Overall so much more bike...still brand new, and probably way more resale value in the long run Hairy and Grease_Monkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted May 14, 2020 Share Try picking up the phone and calling, works every time.That is not meant to sound insulting, just a reality. Mails and messages are easily missed in daily life and once its down the list it is never seen again.I don't mind people taking time to respond, but please just respond.I'm personally not one to call, because I hate disturbing or being disturbed at inconvenient times.

They are just more special and have more character (for me anyway). Dual suspension bikes just feel like they serve a purpose and that's that.... That Mobu is pretty sweet though....

hansolo Posted May 14, 2020 Share I'm with you on the hardcore hardtail but that build is maybe a bit "too much" for for that type of bike. Personally I wouldn't go much higher that XT/GX for a bike like that, but that is just me. And a steel frame as well, something like Stanton or Cotic.     I'd rather have the Chameleon  but that's just me. I have a thing for hardcore hardtails.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 14, 2020 Share Wonder if a system would work where a number is mandatory, to the point where an OTP gets sent to that number to activate the ad but also prove it is a contactable number.Might limit the number of fraudulent ads.

Dirt Tracker Posted May 14, 2020 Share https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/403923/santa-cruz-chameleon-carbon2020-custom-build  Look this is super cool but I recon this might be in the top 5 of hardest bikes to sell right now That is a great build with great touches (like the PNW dropper lever) but I honestly  thought the price was a R123456789 type thing not an actual price.  As has been said that is a very niche build in a very niche category with very few buyers looking to spend the much on a hardtail and those that are will spend that money building new themselves and spacing it exactly how they want every little bit. Would love to do a quick spec build to see what the total for that is. Were the wheels carbon or alu? Edited May 14, 2020 by Dirt Tracker Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted May 18, 2020 Share seems a bit pricey for a terrable logic fork https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/mountain-bike-forks/142207/fox-32-float-29-100mm-fit-terralogic-kashima-29er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted May 21, 2020 Share https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/404231/burry-stander-limited-edition-s-works So this. Maybe I'm crass but a 7 year old bike with outdated Geo, old components etc... I would offer 20k at most. BUT it comes with a Burry tag so does a paint job and Burry make it worth more?  Burry Dying was a tragedy, but his wife has moved on, surely we all should to? 65k is a whole lot of money for a really old, outdated 3rd hand bike (Moving on does not mean forgotten).
