Capricorn Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 the 4 chain stay design makes for a very stiff rear end, by most accounts of other riders. Also, it has a very low BB height, which probably makes the rear feel a lot longer, thus feeling less whippable. But i'm only guessing. Any chance i could session that bike?
DownhillingKing Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 Ja just walk into the shop as if you want to buy it. ask if you can take it for a test ride to see if you like it. Then say you will think about it and walk off
RossW Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I posted some pics of the Greg Minnaar Downhill series a while back.... Another is coming up next weekend (28th) and I'll be there with trusty camera and will with some luck post some photo's from the day.

Capricorn Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 taken off pink bike. but hot damn, that's a faceplant/auger/stack/off/bail of note!
DownhillingKing Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Cap you ment to be trying to encourage people to get into DH, not scare them away with pics of what could happen to them!
Capricorn Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 why would it scare them? He is just testing ALL his protective gear: helmet, goggles, leatt brace knee guards all in one go. That's pretty awesome IMO ?and look, he made sure his bike stayed outta the gnar.. That's damnright INSANE!! ?Capricorn2010-02-21 14:32:12

DownhillingKing Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 No the price I would love those though. They like R600 cheaper than at Olympic
Capricorn Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 R600!!!!!! jeez man. so why such a ripoff at Olympic?
DownhillingKing Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Cause you add 14% vat + like 45% markup
