Racer X Posted August 27, 2009 Share 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.

NinjaManiak Posted August 27, 2009 Share 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.[/quote'] 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 kmGradient 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.

blockhouse Posted August 27, 2009 Share 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. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
