Furbz Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) 13 hours ago, DieselnDust said: It would be a shame to hang anything other than Campagnolo Super Record on this beaut So I had the same feelings at first. Then figured with all the polished titanium on the bike the sram groupset with its silver highlights and polished aluminum would better compliment the frame and overall finish Edited October 26 by Furbz DieselnDust 1

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 thats not a bike, thats a piece of art. Bloody hell thats nice. ChrisF 1
Sandro Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I though the Bastion looked great. Then you posted the Battaglin... thats next level. Didn't know they were still around even.

Furbz Posted October 29 Posted October 29 (edited) How clean is that! Nothing but the best used - Ceramic Speed SLT bears come standard. the build on this is unreal, absolutely clean! Everything is precut to your specs - no need to do any setup at all - NICE! Getting close.... A quick sneak peak - not sure on the grey bar tape. brakes need setting, and gears setup. then its done! will have it completed today.

Furbz Posted October 29 Posted October 29 34 minutes ago, Bub Marley said: So how much is the build actually working out to? Actually don’t answer it. I dont wanna know. All in all AUD 38900 is retail for this build right now. thats ex shipping, ex duties (10%) and ex vat landed costs around R574k for the full bike as built. a lot-a-bit eye watering. Back in 2022 at 2022 exchange rates when the order was placed the frameset and bars retailed for AUD14000 or roughly R120k quite how in 2 years a groupset, wheels, saddle etc adds up to R454k worth makes exactly zero sense to me. There is a missing R250k or so i cannot make sense of.
DJuice Posted October 29 Posted October 29 @Furbz beautiful, a master piece! Will look at the Bastion for days! Try navy handlebar tape. Congrats and enjoy your new bike! Hopefully the Bastion is in your will and going to a nice home😉. Furbz 1

Madone69 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 @Furbz...Beautiful frame Not a fan of the grey tape and the grey on the rims....still think it needs Campagnolo also
