and it will be , haven't seen a price estimate anywhere but I suspect in the region of 220k for the RC 

 

 

And you just know all the people that come in 2 mins from the cut off in the local Spar 70km have pre ordered one <- comic sans , Kalmeer karen

Should have chosen a nicer colour.

A friend just bought a Spark on my recommendation and he saw the new one on the floor for R170k.

Definitely not local... Probably the 2021 model at R170k

He bought the current 2021 and got a good deal I think. Still a great looking bike.

I wouldn't know I wasn't there but don't see a reason he would lie about it.

He is just mistaken then. We don’t have dates on when they are arriving in SA yet, will know on Monday. But it won’t be before August at the earliest.

She broke her arm a few weeks ago AFAIK. So she's probably on the bench.

Kate announced yesterday that she is not participating at Leogang due to her broken arm. She's probably focusing on the Olympics now as her chances of a overall World Cup podium is very slim now.

New frame is way too nice to buy the previous generation imo

Never been a scott spark fan, until now.

Don't people feel ripped off when paying over 170k for a mountain bike?

When you actually add up the cost of the components, wheels and suspension you left with a questionable cost for the frame. 

6 months of hard riding and half the components are toast.

I don't know if people feel ripped off, I've never been in that boat.  I squealed when I paid that much for my second hand car.

So if they pay 169k for a mtb they won't feel ripped off?

Might be wrong though, but substantially more expensive than the 2021 model…
