nathrix Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 OK lads keep your shorts on' date=' I am back from the airport and have seen the light bike. Check my blog on www.treadmag.co.za for some absolutely exclusive spy shots of the new bike and some details on what she's made of.... Just give it about 10 minutes loading pics... [/quote']
AndreZA Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 10.3kgs, impressive. Front triangle is a bit tight though.
Tumbleweed Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Where do I find them on tread son? click on "blogs". nice one, intern! reckon he could get it under then by filing down the levers on the skewers!
Iwan Kemp Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Sorry Andre...http://www.entelectclubmanager.co.za/ECGWebManager/MainContentImages/9159/IMG00005-20090518-110.jpghttp://www.entelectclubmanager.co.za/ECGWebManager/MainContentImages/9159/IMG00007-20090518-1101.jpg http://www.entelectclubmanager.co.za/ECGWebManager/MainContentImages/9159/IMG00012-20090518-1103.jpg
Taps Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 That is one serious bike! Looks strong enough to freeride on and with some tweaking (it is a prototype) should be a huge contender for king of local sales. Well done Patrick
intern Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Just sprinted the thing up and down the street; with propedal, hardly any pedal bob, frame is rigid as a board. It's metal (nod to Mampara) and weighs 500 grams less than my 08 S-Works Epic. Schweeters.
Shebeen Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 can't see where the bottle opener is, but SA mtb product of the year?
AndreZA Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 If they tidy up the welds you could save a few more grams. Will they be CNCing that part between the pivot and the shock? No gussets on the head tube?
Iwan Kemp Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Not sure about the cable routing under the BB. Hopefully it'll be sorted on the production model. Like that they try to stay true to the square DT
Mackie Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Have a big dump before you ride then they weigh the sameJust sprinted the thing up and down the street; with propedal' date=' hardly any pedal bob, frame is rigid as a board.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I kinda like the "industrial" look of the welds - traditional Morewood, and it makes the bike look as if it can handle a helluva lot more than you can throw at it. Very utilitarian, and very hawt! Like the nekkid metal as well... Very sweet!
singletrackmind Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Wow thats finally a full susser i might want to buy!! Impressive stuff. And i agree, carbon is over rated.

Giant Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I'm with Mathem,The industial/stolen prototype look is so schweeeeeeeet
