WorcesterWheelers Posted July 18, 2008 Share YES - I'm a bike "whore".....NO - There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with this Schwinn....YES - I've finally found a nice carbon hardtail that I can still fit V-brakes.... So, I need some $$$$$$$$ to build a V-brake bike... Starting price is R25,000 SCHWINN MOAB SC1 Carbon hardtail...Love the frame, but prefer Sram X-0 vs. Shimano XT. So decided to buy frame set:And add a Mongoose Team edition parts kit....Parts kit:- Sram X-0 groupset (XT front der.),- Noir carbon crankset- FOX RLC100 fork- Stan's ZTR Olympic rims, Ringle Flea hubs, DT swiss spokes- Easton EA90 carbon straight handlebar- EA90 stem- KCNC bar ends- KCNC Ti seatpost - Look Carbon Quartz pedals- WTB lightweight saddle (VERY comfortable)- Maxxis Monrail LUST tyres- Alligator ILINK gear cable set (in bling gold of course....) added just last week.

No, I heard a rumour, Schwinn are considering taking action against Panani....WorcesterWheelers2008-07-18 08:00:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted July 18, 2008 Share Still no answer on the price of the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorcesterWheelers Posted July 18, 2008 Share whats that Schwinn frame go for? and how much does it weigh? Unfortunately the dont offer the frameset's seperately, but after begging and pleading the made an exception to a Schwinn dealer like myself.... BUT, we can always sell you the complete bike, and you can sell off a complete Xt groupset and nice Mavic Crosstrail wheelset on the new revamped Classifieds section..... Complete bike retails for R23,995. Frameset is 1280grams. (I'll only be able to tell you after tomorrow's 65km ride at Wolseley about the feel & quality of the ride......

rock Posted July 18, 2008 Share Frameset is 1280grams. Its official - I have the world heaviest size small carbon frame in the world....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorcesterWheelers Posted July 18, 2008 Share And here's the finished product.... And a close up of the "bling-bling" chainring bolts.... And confirmation of the weight (pedals, bar ends & bottle cage included)Sorry - 9.75kg - see the picture not too visible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted July 18, 2008 Share That is light and it's not even over the top parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorcesterWheelers Posted July 18, 2008 Share Frameset is 1280grams. Its official - I have the world heaviest size small carbon frame in the world....... Like I said... lets talk after riding it for 65km tomorrow. I'd rather spend an extra R5000 on components and wheels than save 300grams on the frame.....

WorcesterWheelers Posted July 18, 2008 Share That is light and it's not even over the top parts. I'll add this once I've lost 5kg's.... And perhaps these when I reach my racing weight of 76-77 again (hopefully before the 2009 Epic...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorcesterWheelers Posted July 18, 2008 Share And also bear in mind: No stupidly light & thin latex tubes and skinny side walled tyres.....Stans Tubeless kit with new Maxxis Monorail LUST tyres included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
