Wernervdmerwe Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Build up almost entirely with things off the hub, mostly great service (had to pay R700 to fix the wheels) But for the rest, WONDERFUL - makes building bikes a treat. Specs: Fork: Pace RC-39 C-Type Frame: Not the foggiest - anyone know? Shifters: X-9 FD: XT RD: X-9 Crank: Stylo GXP Cassette: SRAM 980 Shock: Fox Float RP2 Brakes: Juicy 5's Some of you might remember my question about my wife being very nervous about single track, must say, with this bike and a proper setup, we cruise at just under 30km/h between trees and over drops!
Santa C Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 cool design on the frame, did that come standard?
Wernervdmerwe Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Dirtbreath - it is a powdercoat, much like handlebars. Came that way from the manufacturer I think. Slowbee - ermmm... yes. We had a WTB saddle on there, but the bikeshop said she should get a women specific saddle as it is better. Ils wants to spray the bike white, so we can look at a Fizik or something then. Santa - That was actually a set of stickers we bought from CRC, works better than I thought it would, but still prefer it being painted on
Dirtbreath Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 You will battle redoing a powdercoat. I am in the same boat. I recommend putting on some spds for her asap, before she gets too used to those platforms. My wife has that saddle. Loves it!
Wernervdmerwe Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah - we swap pedals depending on where we ride. If we do Koeberg or something flat, she uses LOOK's, anywhere else, even if it just smells of single track, on goes the platforms. But she is gaining confidence, so you never know!
