OVERDRIVE Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 I know we FullSus mad, and this isn't even offered in SA. If it was offered, any takers? Apparently they wouldn't import it because there would be no backup parts for it... https://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/a30729284/specialized-epic-hardail-pro-review/ https://www.specialized.com/us/en/epic-hardtail-pro/p/184101?color=291523-184101&searchText=91321-1002
Robbie Stewart Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Maybe if it were slacker and more trail oriented and not just another marathon bike. I do believe that there is a place for proper trail hardtails in SA but it seems that the weekend marathon masses have cornered the market and made bike choices in SA overall drab and boring for the most part. The trail bikes available are either too steeply priced or underspecced for the money, but mostly both. A good HT that allows a rider to get rowdy at less than full suss pricing will do well here I think. I would invest for sure. Stretched@Birth, Tatt, burger 555 and 2 others 5
Grease_Monkey Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 What do you mean no back up parts? Besides for the frame everything else is no different than any other bike.... BikeisLife, Danger Dassie, Mojoman and 2 others 5

With a one off bike, if they don't have something, it will assumedly delay the repair. What part that is, I wonder...

And a simple “I know a warranty issue on the frame will take months” disclaimer should cover that. If I was you I’d look at the Santa Cruz High Ball. Me rida my bicycle, ChrisF and OVERDRIVE 3
