DJuice Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Those EE wings crank a no no, not even on a TI bike.
DJuice Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 You can perhaps think of incorporating the blue of the brakes and the red/orange of the hubs into the paint scheme, keeping it classy with the gloss carbon and gold Unno branding. Will give my two front teeth and left ball to be in your position, enjoy!
Prince Albert Cycles Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 I must just say that of the 20 or so brands I have contacted, Lynskey had the best service, best value and best understanding of getting a bike to SAI had the same experience with Lynskey when I bought my GR 270 frame set from them .

Eddy Gordo Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Wayne, have you thought about a bike from the Athertons? They do custom frames to spec, ti lugs with carbon tubing. It looks pretty different and apparently comes out super light, super strong and I would bet you would have the only one in SA....Forgot about this. Dw link as well. Should put this at the top Agh, doesn't look like they do a shorter travel bike.
