Hi guys,

 

I have managed to secure a deal with the Shift MX gear importers, to try help them rid themselves of their old stock. If anybody wants to start off the new DH season in some sparkling new Shift gear, have a look at the 2008 priceslist and you can order through me.

 

I am waiting for the 09 range to be sent to me, when it arrives I will update this thread.

 

Delivery could be from the importer to me, and then collected or delivered if close enough (Highway Area, KZN), or Speed services counter to counter / Counter to door.

 

Prices exclude delivery and include vat.

 

PM me your e-mail for the pricelist.

Think the hole you youtube is unavailable

[Thermophage]

Yeah I see so...

Usually it is available straight after upload and processing is pretty much same time.

Hopefully it'll be up later...but man it was SERIOUSLY quick...his line coming into the section was silly as well...I would not have even thought it could have been a line...

Now I just might consider trying it But maybe my bike will break before that...already managed to scratch the poo outa the left stanchion tube on Sunday on second race run

You guys realize that a Specialized Demo 8 II "only" costs like R42 K in the USA... !

When it gets here the LBS will prolly charge you like R60K!!!.....IF you can even get one in the country

[Capricorn]

yeah, i've tried thermo: trust me. U know that phrase by hoook or by crook? i'm up to by crook..

f'ing useless the agents are.

[Thermophage]

i wonder if my LBS will be able to organise something....

maybe I'll ask them tomorrow if I go round at lunch.

 

I can;t stop watching Follow Me bro...I think I can just loop the first section forever and never be unimpressed or stoked!

[Capricorn]

thermo: hold on to your drool glands and save some for Life Cycles

ok...so i reckon we order from here...

http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Specialized-Demo-8-II-Mountain-Bike-2011-Full-Suspension-MTB_38755.htm

and ask for it two be shipped in pieces (avoid full bike import tax)

then still get it for WAAAAAAY cheaper than RSA.

Still pretty pricey though. But considering that fork alone is like R15000 undiscounted it's not THAT bad
