Is that our famous local online store, as everything's out of stock?

 

From the link I posted? It's the US website.

Less.

If the frame isn't priced stupidly can probably have a 10ish kg race ready HT for a smidgeon over R35k

I was thinking

 

R15k for Frame, R13k for 2x11 XT, R12k for SID = R40k (R35k for a Reba)

 

Cockpit & seatpost from Rapide = R3k, Gobi Saddle = total R5k

 

Subtotal = R45k

 

Wheels are the problem to get to abt 10kg

 

Your thoughts for R35k?

Been riding a Gravel Bike, Merida Silex for a while, love the thing, but no matter how much I condition myself, training hours each day for 18 years just to give you a idea, Corrugated roads & Slightly deep single track, and my body is punished to the point it frustrates me, gonna get a camel pack, and buy a Chisel end October. 

A hard tale XC bike is going to take far less out of me on 6 hour rides than a rigid gravel Bike! I would buy a Diverge, but the Chisel just seems like the right choice considering the price.
