Hairy Posted May 28, 2020 Share That is ludicrous. 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.It was the Spaz Enduro .. if memory serves there was Pinkbike vid review of the bike where they said the same.

Super Sywurm Posted May 28, 2020 Share 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... 2020-05-28_12-21-18.pngThis is cheap enough for me to buy two, one for riding and one spare for when the other one is dirty.

MORNE Posted May 29, 2020 Share 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 Edited May 29, 2020 by morneS555 gummibear, Underachiever and Danger Dassie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted May 29, 2020 Share I wonder how many other bikes you could buy for the price of that spaz. They have to be different materials... Steel, Ti, alu, carbon, wood! Sure you could fit at least 3 good spec' hard tails at least (and I'm also including a custom frame from - shock - a frame builder).

Me rida my bicycle Posted May 29, 2020 Share Dreambike ! and their frames are bomb proof. With good tyre clearance and warranty up to 120mm you can build a light trail rocket I will take this over a sworks any day of the week. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me rida my bicycle Posted May 30, 2020 Share And she is done. The dropper's internal routing had me busy for some time as I did not want to change the frame in any way! gummibear, Hairy and arendoog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
