MintSauce Posted October 28, 2008 Share Exactly BB STM....your 34:32 is harder than his 24:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaulter1 Posted October 28, 2008 Share @singletrackmind: My major problem was everyone else using 34's in front of me would shift into their grannies about 5m out from the start of the hills and slow down to a crawl. I couldn't get any speed or momentum going to carry thru. There were a couple of hills I had to hike-a-bike the latter parts as I couldn't keep a slow enough pace without a MTB cog.

NotSoBigBen Posted October 28, 2008 Share Exactly BB Before I did all my own bike stuff a 'mechanic' at a bikeshop asked me why it mattered where he put the logo on my tyres and I said it doesn't but it does show me that the oke working on my bike cares .........

Yip....it's called 'attention to detail'. Some people just don't have it. Like this perhaps Mints .......... But what if I've got 3 labels on the rim and 2 on the tyre?

XTC OKE Posted October 28, 2008 Share Mamparra where did you get that frame??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted October 28, 2008 Share Mamparra where did you get that frame??? It was a plain white one that I got from martelpypie. Cycleart tried to paint it to my specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted October 28, 2008 Share Did you respray the ASR? Was it powder coated before if so? New decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaulter1 Posted October 28, 2008 Share @CaptainDura: I didn't keep exact track but got some great deals on the frame and parts (half the local price for the fork) so I'd put total spend at around 20-25k (much more with the recently tanked Rand though). Replacement value would be far greater I fear... @Dirtbreath: Nope - just managed to buy it in mint condition. A little pledge and elbow grease and it shines like new.

Azonic Posted October 28, 2008 Share My Scalpel weighs 10.2kg, before I upgraded the brakes and grips, so around 10kg now. Frame, R3kFork, R3kGroupset, R3kWheels, R3k.Misc, maybe another R2-3k So maybe R15k invested. Obviously before the Ront saw its @ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted October 28, 2008 Share Nice ride. A tip on polishing those cast ali bits. Use car oil to lube your chain and then clean the ali bits with the cloth that you wipe the excess oil off you chain with. Nice n shiny! Post it on Yetifan!
