Afrozoolander Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) What are your thoughts on this new bike brand? I came across it via one of the Bike-hub side-panel adverts. I was not quite aware that there might exist a demand for such bikes...does there though? Check out the link: https://bike.sunamite.co.za/ More specifically: https://bike.sunamite.co.za/shop/product/fatbike-26-21-speeds-black-10#attr= P.S. they claim the bikes to weigh in at 16 kg. However, having briefly taken a Fat Cat Rapid Comp (a re branded Mongoose Dolomite) which weighed in at 27 kg I am sceptical about this figure. Edited June 17, 2021 by Afrozoolander

JScottP Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 I would be very cautious, when they cant even spell the material correctly. And where can I buy these wear-resistant tyres from.

Sounds like something they stole from Space X or NASA. The frame is also "shocking" proof for those that fancy riding in areas littered with live electric wires or that enjoy afternoon rides in lightning storms.
Steady Spin Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Very english. Much chinese import. Great shocking quality. I lol at wheel:spoke and crank:seal michaelbiker, Afrozoolander, Mtree and 2 others 1 4
Danger Dassie Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Not even niche market, the novelty appeal came and went long ago. Would be surprised if the uptake was even 0.5% of total market.
Afrozoolander Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 Maybe Nino (N1N0 ?!?!) will trade in his new Scott Spark (Bold Cycle ?!?!) for one of these machines?
PhilipV Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 That is one container of crappy Chinese imports that should have stayed stuck in the Suez.
