[Daft Vader]

As nice as they all LOOK in the adverts' date=' or cleaned up and shiny at home...

 

 

the best bikes are the ones that can get you places.... and do.

Here's my contribution to this thought...

Were'nt you trying to flog this a while back?

 

 

No I purchased it

 

Fair Enough. Great bike by the way. I remember it gained headlines in MBA once as being the world's most expensive production MTB. That was a few years back of course when $ 10 000 was consided insanely expensive.

That is an awesome view of Stellies and Simonsberg. Cool photo! Where abouts was it taken from?

 

RickyBobby,

 

In Jonkershoek, at the very top of the saddle.

The last bit above the bench:
Jeeptrack, +/- 1 km
Gradient 15%-20%

Surface = "basketballs and babyheads"

 

It's perfect terrain for xx" travel AM/DH bikes, but the irony is, that all these lovely AM/DH ones we see here that "are still able to climb"

can't get upto the top to begin the run.

I recon a good starting qualification for a bike to stand a chance of being called the "BEST MTB BIKE" is to be able to go up and down that section.

I purchased it a couple of months back from a bloke in JHB, the only electronic photo I have is the one he sent me, hence you thinking I was that bloke. You obviously id'd the carbon seatstay which was made for the 2008 oracle. The frame is an epiphany, which was purchased in march 2009 and the components are mainly 2008. The bike you talking about is the oracle a titanium version of the epiphany

hee hee. let me just say i had to buy a lady specific as the missus is very short.  I did not have to adjust the shocks as she weighs in proportionally on the bike.  As for a photo...let me think about that...nah bad idea..
