racman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Ok - still looking to replace that piece of Colnago Titanium "iron" frame with CF. I know I shouldn't but the bug has bitten, what can I say. Choices are (for approx. R13k) Felt FC, Kuota Kharma, Specialized Tarmac Pro, Scott CR1, any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with no name Posted April 2, 2007 Share What about a Bianchi 928? Maybe slightly more, but a good choice at that range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E1A104 Posted April 2, 2007 Share I'd go for the scott, but only if you are buying MX boots..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Man with no Name (can't you shorten it a bit!) - are you talking about the standard 928 or the C2C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come and collect your tattoo. Unfortunately, it is also [slightly?] heavier than most, but G^% are they beautiful... At the risk of sounding philosophical: Delay the purchase until you can buy what your heart desires, otherwise you would waste the money on something you don't [really] want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Tarmac Expert or Pro and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdoardoBianchi Posted April 2, 2007 Share But what 928 are you talking about - the lugged 928 or the C2C???  I prefer the 928 SL' date=' but that's about twice your [unrevised ] budget - goes for about R28k Popeye & Kritz are on C2C's, right? They look fantastic, but I'm not sure I like the angles - seem a bit, er, relaxed. Any comments, guys? I spent a happy time at the shop over the weekend drooling over the 928SL with Record and Hyperions - At R90k I have some saving and dreaming to do...

racman Posted April 2, 2007 Share The C2C's do look a bit odd. Maybe just an acquired taste. However, they must have their reasons for the design I'm sure> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windbreaker Posted April 2, 2007 Share I've got the 2006 Tarmac S-Works. Chose it for the looks and the handling. Nothing like pushing it to the limits coming down Red Hill, Simonstown side. It really is very forgiving. Borrowed a Cervelo Soloist for the CSC South African visit and the handling doesn't compare - for the difference in money anyway. I believe that the new Tarmac Expert is the equivalent of the S-Works of 2006  " Specialized FACT 6r carbon, triple monocoque construction, compact race design, Zertz inserts "Haven't heard a bad word about them to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racman Posted April 2, 2007 Share IanJ that is what I read in the Bianchi press release - all about "relaxed geometry" and "comfortable ride for long distances", "less agressive angles" etc, etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Fanie - what price is the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanieFiets Posted April 2, 2007 Share  Ek het dit vir net onder R 14 000-00 gekry. Dink dit was 'n spesiale prys. Check die link uit. My vraag was baie dieselfde as joune.  https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=11290&KW=frame FanieFiets2007-04-02 12:00:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
