stunnin ride mate - should make the FHM.... I mean Tread magazine, centre fold Thumbs%20UpWink

 

Not sure what it is about this bike but everything looks so clean and tidy, like minimal fuse but drop dead gorgeous in a way that no R60'000 plus bike ever has to me. Guess it's what they call the X factor

Thanks for the positive feedback. !!

 

 

What did this baby set you back?

 

Not as much as one would think.

 

I sold my Santa Cruz as a rolling chassis which paid for the Scandal's rolling chassis so used the rest of the parts from the SC

 

Built the set of wheels, replaced most of the drivetrain and bought the Exotic fork which probably came to around R8k.

 

Have the On-One wheels as spares and will also have the RST M29 Squishy fork as spare.
