speshie Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 it is.. unfortunately it puts it in the price range of all other top of the range downhill frames.. im guessing because its a reasonably small company.. and with the likes of orange, giant and santa cruz , i cant see it being the best frame in the caterguory.
ngala24 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 What do the Giant and Cruz frames go for locally, want to go back to states and tell them we out of the market with these prices then

ngala24 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Chumba Usa wants me to get a couple into the market if possible so R13000 for the frame only which is a saving of R5800 on RRP If you look at RRP on a boxxer team and F5 frame its +/- $3500.00 or R28000.00 so i thought it wasnt a bad price Chumba has a return rate of 0.3% in 15 years, frames are built well and have a 2 year warranty on them

The only con is the rear shock is open to the elements.  well obviously.. they are better frames ofcourse they are going to cost more.. There is a statement i will try pull up for you quoted by chumba themselves that they have neglected there dh frame abit in terms of marketing and new development, it was posted on pinkbike. The price is still a little steep this frame is really in competition with like mongoose and izumi rather then the makulu and v10.. I really really hope they do decide to try nclude the market here that way hopefully we will have another choice. I agree fully about your comment with the warrenty and strength between frames made in china vs others.. but if it really is an issue go for a cove shocker or tomac primer? way superior , not mass produced and around the R24 000. yes i know you have to add import duties on top.. anyway just my opinion
ngala24 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Spesh321, you asked me for a price on the Frame and Fork which is what i gave you ? In fact ive realised i gave you the wrong amount and amended it on this post And considering the fact that if you ordered a 2010 boxxer team from CRC it would set you back R11000 the fact that im offering it at R7500 with a frame is not bad
speshie Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 dude thanks alot you really are doing a good job and i know your offering us the best prices possible

jrussell Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Got my Bike back from Mike's Bikes on Wednesday' date=' had a copule of new parts fitted [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley4.gif[/img]  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6296copyMedium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6307Medium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6310Medium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6314Medium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6321Medium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6327Medium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6331Medium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6340Medium.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/Seanisking/Random/th_IMG_6347Medium.jpg  Eedubz! howcome we havnt seen your bike on here before?? or have I just missed it? anyway those parts look awesome! sait brakes and derailer? what they like? try get a nice big pic of your bike and a spec rundown
Eedubz Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Click the thumbnails for the fullsize pic    Raleigh RDH 9.0's and 7.0's are in fact Azonic Eliminators, brought in by Raleigh and branded as their own. I really don't like the Raleigh paint and stickers, so took it back to it's roots.   The Saint parts are awesome. Haven't had a proper ride with them yet, but friends that run the same rear mech and shifter all rave about it. The brakes are still bedding in but feel good, lots of power!   The bars are 750mm wide, 15mm rise, fitted them about 2 months ago. Direct mount stem and wide bars are a must have in my opinion, makes such a huge difference!   Can't wait to ride the Helderberg (Spanish Farm) track in 2 weeks time, I'm staying 2km away
speshie Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 ya i agree paint job looks way better on those! just out of interest what year is your boxxer race? and does it have rebound and compression? im pretty sure its the same one as bakkies is selling?
