TyronLab Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Don't know if this has been thrown into the pot yet, but what about an Evil Following? 130/120mm, definitely not commonplace. Looks badass. In my top-3 for lotto-money bike purchases. https://www.evil-bikes.com/a/bikes/following Also, I just love their rock-n-roll sensibilities. It looks like a place I'd love to work.

There can't be too many in SA, it looks sweet as bananas and is probably exactly what you're after re performanceits a 2019 (I must have the latest and greatest) It's a medium and worst of all, it doesn't match my stuffThere is so much more to this soap opera than a good quality bikeOh and I just don't like the name

Wayne pudding Mol Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 This thread has replaced bold and the beautiful! I wonder how many plot twists there could still be lurking (I reckon it's going to end up with some Latvian garagiste 26" build)This drama is consuming my life - probably because my business life is so unpleasant right now I'm obsessing on something I enjoy I would say in the last month I have spent more time online since I got a hotmail address in '95
Shebeen Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 This drama is consuming my life - probably because my business life is so unpleasant right now I'm obsessing on something I enjoy I would say in the last month I have spent more time online since I got a hotmail address in '95 that is really wanting the latest and greatest.

gerriemtb Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 @waynemol don't you go quiet on us when you finally decided on and got the bike!
DJuice Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Transition Spur?Like the lines of the Spur from day one.Perhaps to much bike for Wayne and myself from the Pinkbike review. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/field-test-spur-ranger-scalpel-sb115-epic-evo-field-review-video-2020.html Wrecking my brain and spending to much time on net to search for a replacement for the Unno.
MORNE Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 yes yes...probably to endurobro'ey nice color though https://www.forbiddenbike.com/products/druid-frame-kit
MORNE Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 or what about 'full retard'? https://structure.bike/products/foundation
DR ◣◢ Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 yes have always liked these.... Have one. It's like nothing I've ever ridden. Can be built up super light (Mine is at 13.4kg with average components. The Protein Powder colour will be complimented extremely well with all the trick bits you have accumulated. While they aren't the scarcest bike in SA they are fantastic and you have local support and spare availability I mean... just look at it.

Calculus Bikes Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 IMHO lots of the recommendations seems directed to bikes used for more technical riding than what Mr Mol would use it for; adding bling to the build, but also weight and not giving the ideal ride for his application. Typical case of nice to look at, but no real difference between any other "new" bike his had. Something longer, with less progressive geometry and travel not more than 120 front and 100mm rear would be my recommendation.
