Dirtbreath Posted May 19, 2009 Share Nice! Just a question. These bikes are obviously set up for trail riding and a bit of hammering. How would they handle a marathon or a muti-day? What is the least you would tinker with on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted May 19, 2009 Share Droo, what's makes yours a "prototype". Did they use different angles or tubing or just the paint scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted May 19, 2009 Share Nice!Just a question. These bikes are obviously set up for trail riding and a bit of hammering. How would they handle a marathon or a muti-day? What is the least you would tinker with on the bike. The Shova is surprisingly agile for its size' date=' and comfortable for long rides. With a light build and a Talas fork or similar it would be fine for marathons, but it's not a Spez Epic. But it will thrash an Epic on the descents [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley4.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted May 19, 2009 Share Morewoodkid, you are close to the brand. Do you think they would do small cosmetic changes to a SantaCruz? Like removing V brake bosses and change cable stops to cable guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to be in a position to assist with these sorts of things, but now we are so busy trying to build bikes that we don't have much time at all. Its difficult enough producing enough bikes to feed the demand. Sorry Mampara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted May 19, 2009 Share morewoodkid: So if yours is sub 14k's mine should be too. We have the same wheels, na? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox_Wagon Posted May 19, 2009 Share Morewoodkid, when are you guys going to release the rumored Marathon/XC frame?<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />The Crow, I thought you don?t like single pivot bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted May 19, 2009 Share Never said I didn't like them...said the DW is MUCH better. As far as I know the new HT and 100mm Marathon dual will be in time for Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYGA Posted May 19, 2009 Share @ XTC1 - Come chase us down Eden on Sunday' date=' we'll show you justice [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley2.gif[/img] @ Dirt-rider - Sweeeeeet. And who cares about weight anyway? Shovas feel lighter than they are, and if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger... You seem quite certain that I will be the one doing the chasing! What time you okes riding on Sunday? Looks like nice weather for some mellow longboarding too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
