Again, I'm just very interested in your motivation and direction behind some of your posts. The whole process behind the Tigre, the testing, the sample frames, the progression etc was all well documented when Kiwi was busy with it all. He even passed around a couple of frames/bikes to local guys who gave him honest feedback and assisted in getting the project from idea to production. Nothing about the frame or how it came into being is secret, so I'm interested to know how you know more about Scott or Spez frame manufacturing/development than you do this? burger 555, thebob, W Smith and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a wheelset from Rapidé that is two years old now. They have done 1576km over the course of 166 hours on trails that are generally avoided by anyone in lycra. I have not so much as had a spoke fail, nor have I needed to have the wheels trued, and the hubs are still in prime condition. If the frame is even anywhere close as good as the rims, I will buy with utmost peace of mind. WR 1.0, dasilvarsa, nonky and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck with the Build Robbie. Thanks. This is the plan yes. I am still in the planning phase though and am aiming to spread the load over the course of a year to reduce the need to buy a bunch of parts at once. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As TyronLab said, it's like riding a giant 140mm BMX. I don't think I will be passing them on any time soon, but I have pinned this. @ChrisF I have a set of Spirgrips https://www.spirgrips.com/ in a box somewhere if you want to try them What ever happened to those Spirgrips ? You still have them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
