Rigardt@Scott Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Gummi, Chris - get that filth off this page. This is a hardtail thread. I won't say anything about those ballbag looking things on your saddles.

LazyTrailRider Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 I'll just leave this ZAR sadness right here. New prices have started to filter through on a few new stock items which have been arriving across the board, this is even before the new R44k Roval LTD wheels...

It doesn't even have AXS or a power meter for that price. I know there was a thread a while back where it was discussed that you can actually build most S-Works bikes with the exact same spec for cheaper if you were to buy all the parts separately than if you were to buy a complete bike from Specialized. I haven't done the maths, but I am pretty sure it will be the case here, even with the poor exchange rate. I am even willing to go as far as saying I think it will work out cheaper if you built it with AXS and a Quarq power meter.
andre.dupreez@wbs.co.za Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Hardtail all the way. Have done J2C, TransBaviaans, Winelands Encounter ex on my Merida hardtail you just need the correct tyre pressure.

Rigardt@Scott Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 yes but that way you can't brag to your friends of how much your Spaz cost by leaving the price tag on or their "subtle" hints ????Which is 90% of the reason anyone buys an SWorks hahaha
MORNE Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 I'll just leave this ZAR sadness right here. it's almost like they are trying to kill HTs off by doing this...as in totally overpricing them. who would buy this? the avarage spaz buyer would see the dual sus bike next to this on the floor at a similar price and probably just get that....because bragging points.A person serious about XC racing in the market for a 'HT weapon' knows there are better things out there for a similar price.... i mean sure if you could buy it....but even then i'd question your sanity since you could build or get something else in a similar configuration that firstly looked better (obviously important if you buy spaz bikes) but would also make this look like an over specced VW polo. we've all driven past that guy in the polo GTi with the 19" wheels, full trim package, full panoramic sunroof....knowing he spent R500k+.....on a polo LOL. i guess i answered my own question there....who would buy this? the same guy who buys a vw polo Gti
