whistler Posted April 15, 2009 Share I saw, when visiting the factory in Jan, a prototype sort of bike there, and it was'nt a single pivot... Anyone got some light on that, or is it the 100mm marathon bike that has been spoken of? Was great to see the factory and the processes and stuff. Now I know where my steed comes from!

_Daemon_ Posted May 21, 2009 Share The bikes that Davey and Roan are riding are Scandium/Alu alloy. Equipped with SRAM X0 geartrains' date=' gripshifts, Formula Oro brakes, Industry 9 wheels and some lightweight crankset the name of which I can't remember, they come in at around 9kg. Roan has a double chainring config. He reckons the bikes are schweet for XC and not bad at all for marathon, compared with the Scott Spark he was riding last year. That seems to be borne out by his performance on Sat's World Cup where he was 2nd African across the line. Nice one Ro![/quote'] 2x9 setup, perhaps a Middleburn DUO crankset?

intern Posted May 21, 2009 Share This just in: Exelby is on a plane coming to visit, he tells me he is racing Fountains XC on a brand spanking new Morewood full susser. It's 'nekkid' (no decals) and another test mule...will be getting a look at it within the next couple of hours. Watch this space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Badenhorst Posted May 21, 2009 Share If you're at the XC National Cup in Pretoria tomorrow, you'll see Morewood's new dual-sus marathon/xc prototype ? hot off the assembly line in Pmb this week, and delivered to Exelby personally by Patrick himself...

Iwan Kemp Posted May 21, 2009 Share I wish Morewood all the best. I'm sure it'll be another kick-ass bike and I hope it'll find LOTS of SA and international homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singletrackmind Posted May 21, 2009 Share If they can make a nice lightweight racer HT or DS it will sell big time here i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoLefty!! Posted May 22, 2009 Share guaranteed, and if they can make one with a Headshok Headtube to retrofit a Lefty It would be awesome.... Handmade in SA has a beautiful ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
