Furbz Posted October 22 Posted October 22 9 hours ago, Shebeen said: wow. just wow. I shouldn't be surprised at that number, but I am. So two demo models going cheep cheep soon? One is sold. sold in 2022 for 2022 rates. (comparatively 60% discount on rates right now). the other is my own personal bike for showroom use - but back then a bastion bike was comparative to a colnago build. now... its impossible to justify. again decisions made in 2022 vs now. pricing then i was certain i could sell in RSA. now... its a tall order to a very very select group. My personal bike is as always bought so that i can personally test a bike out - so that when i put my opinion behind it, its with full knowledge of what is worth is a a bicycle. ChrisF 1
DJuice Posted October 22 Posted October 22 @Furbz, not sure I would be able to sleep.. having those beauties in boxes! Enjoy the build and your awesome new bike! ChrisF and openmind 1 1
DJuice Posted October 25 Posted October 25 @Furbzplanning a ride for Saturday? Please share some candy!
DieselnDust Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Well it’s Friday and no bikes……#semanet i know they’re unobtanium and all but keeping a person waiting for 5 days is stretching the bounds of trust Chadvdw67, ChrisF, DJuice and 1 other 4
Chadvdw67 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) On 10/22/2024 at 8:04 AM, Furbz said: The price of these bikes post covid has absolutely skyrocketed. starting price is now AUD38000 ex vat, duties and vat. Pushing these bikes north of R540,000.00 as a starting price They are only offered as full builds going forward. so quite firmly very very very much in the unobtanium bracket of bikes. For that amount of money I would expect them come to in something a little more substantial than a doublewall cardboard box.... Anyway, where are the builds? We have waited long enough gosh darnit.

Furbz Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) It's been a very busy week! Finally got round to taking a few happy snaps. this bike is painted in a clear royal candy blue colour to allow for the carbon weave to show through. its fully custom, full custom geo (mimicks colnago C68) as well as a few special additions to make it a truely South African frame Edited October 25 by Furbz DJuice, HdB, Jako De Wet and 9 others 12
Furbz Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) The buildkit: Groupset is the latest Sram Red AXS 12s groupset Wheels i'll decided on what best suites the bike. I currently have a set of 2024 Princeton Carbonworks Peak 4550 wheels with chrome decals. or a set of Syncros Capital SL 40 wheels - but i feel these might better suited for a lightweight build Edited October 25 by Furbz ChrisF and Vishal72 2
robbybzgo Posted October 25 Posted October 25 What a beaut! Please don't let this baby be stolen from out of your garage! (Most bikes stolen this way). A SA custom/ superstition is to put you bed on bricks/blocks. Please do this and sleep with your bike under your bed...😅 Furbz 1
Furbz Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Its really difficult to truly show how incredible this carbon weave is in the sun. gerriemtb, Madone69, splat and 4 others 7
DJuice Posted October 25 Posted October 25 @Furbzthanks for the pictures of your awesome new bike! The whole week I`m thinking Zipp/Enve for the wheels...should have known you`ll have something special, those Princeton wheels with chrome will complement the bike! What cages are you planning on using?
