Me rida my bicycle Posted November 4, 2018 Share Is Lyne not also South African? If it looks and performs good and the price is not way out. But I think I will agree with the guys here in the more higher end scale of things and personalised or is that just me on that bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 4, 2018 Share Momsen vipa = yes, yes and yes ... and there are probably other very good south african bike frames ... other bits will only consider .. shimano + fox + rockshox = yes O yes and probably anything from Italy ... essentially anything that has been proven to work in race conditions ...Designed in SA but made in the East, same as most other "local" brands. South Industries is local but same price more or less as the imported, and some would say more proven, products. Our labour is too expensive and then why sell it at a massively discounted price when the imported stuff costs so much......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakkies Posted November 4, 2018 Share I agree. SA is capable of producing amazing products. My problem has always been able to afford a "quality" parts at a affordable price. It would be so nice to have quality parts that most can afford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted November 5, 2018 Share If Morewood managed to make a name worldwide and still sell competitively here, why not others? As long as the quality is on par and the price reasonable.My Zula was my last “local” purchase, at that stage supported in EU (Germany)A bit miffed that they (MW) are no longer around EDIT:Also had 2 SA made road bike frames ( Exocet ) before my current Spaz Paris Roubaix ..... look where that ended up... Because of this and as I don’t buy new bikes very often, my next next bike purchases will most likely be big name international brands Edited November 5, 2018 by SwissVan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted November 5, 2018 Share Carbon Pygas getting made in SA now... now that is some seriously cool news Don't forget your local cycling clothing manufacturers as well BigDL and fanievb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbean Posted November 5, 2018 Share Swissvan adds a valid point into the mix.When you contemplate quality,price against overseas competitors as well as “is the company going to be around 5 years from now?”The answer to would you buy local is probably NO.

stringbean Posted November 5, 2018 Share Having said that my South rims are as good as anything I’ve ever ridden so there are some very few exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porqui Posted November 5, 2018 Share I'm doing a bit of market research. Will you buy local manufactured parts. From the past we have had several bike manufacturers and parts manufacturers who has made excellent world class products. What does it take for the sa market to take a product serious? Could you spill just a couple of beans pls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
