Overlord Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I have to cycle to get there 1st' date=' that is why I'm in the market for a new pair of legs [/quote'] You will do that very easily.Last time I saw you, you looked fit so no worries for you.
xak1 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Looks like Titus Racer-X. Titus is, however, paying Specialized for using the Horst link patent. I think most light full suspension design is moving this way, e.g. Scott, Cannondale, etc. It is the lightest design. What is impressive, is the weight they claim, as Scott and Cannondale are not 4-bar linkage designs, therefore a benefit on weight. To get a 4-bar linkage frame for under 2kg is quite good. Although, the way they did it is with all the proprietary stuff, e.g. oversized BB with Specialized crank, stepped down headtube with Specialized fork, etc. I am not always sure I like this proprietary stuff, as it makes your repair and maintenance quite expensive and lengthy. I think top-of-the-range model will be around R80000.
xak1 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Two in the top 4 - not bad. What happened to Absolom?
Larry King Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Absalom had a mechanical then tried to hard to catch up which resulted in him dehydrating... poor man.
