I bet you just keep on running your hand over the paint, don't you.

Very nice Keith. I think it needs 2 black carbon cages though, to complete the look.

But its normal to walk past it and touch it and lift it up isn't it

[AfricaMike]

May I be very presumptious and ask what it cost you?

Cactus without the seatpost and pedals R16 700. Not bad at all for a 7.6kg with heavy tyres (not the ones in the pic) bike. @Mampara and Big JD I think some black carbon ones will be lekker.

Cactus, Mampara is right. I weighed up my options at getting a carbon bike with 105 components and I was looking at R25 000 for a 2009 Giant TCR Advanced 2. And it weighed 8.2kgs without pedals. This was not just with Giant- all bikes with 105 weigh about the same and are priced about the same. So for what I have here I am very happy.

Awesome bike for a GREAT price!! - I was looking at the new bike guide in the latest BICYCLING and crapped myself at the new list prices.  I think you've built yourself a bargain!!!!!  Well done.

 

Mampara, Thanks for the link - I've just added it to my Favourites.

Cactus I kakked myself as well about 2 months back when I wanted to buy a new bike! For what I have here it compares to R25 000 bikes, and rides beautifully. Nothing against branding, but whay pay so much when you can get something like this?

[AfricaMike]

Absolutely agreed!!!
