rock Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 an xc hardtail at last from Morewood, think its made in the east though http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3420/3880090905_54cc63614e.jpg
EigerSA Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 It is made in the east, but then so is pretty much every other brand! Still looks like a beaut though!
AndreZA Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Okay, I know we're not suppose to utter words like this but F*CK it is hot. I realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy, realy want one of those.
Brad@TheRiot Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 think its made in the east though There is nothing wrong with the Taiwan made bikes, in many cases they're better than what comes out of the USA. They manufacture so many bikes, that they can invest the capital in machines required to build better parts. That Kwela looks good Brad@TheRiot2009-09-03 00:05:05
nathrix Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Shouldn't pics like that be on the 'Dream Bike' thread i have seen enough bike porn for today and already lost a keyboard due to drooling, i need to get out of here and get some work done!
udxcob Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Brad not the case with bmx bikes, these japanese bikes still crack and break, the us ones dont.
AndreZA Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Shouldn't pics like that be on the 'Dream Bike' thread it is. Here is a pic of the prototype. The matt is not as nice at the gloss.
splat Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I see the XC/Marathon now has a name... Behind the times, it's had a name for a while already...splat2009-09-03 01:37:05
Brad@TheRiot Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Brad not the case with bmx bikes' date=' these japanese bikes still crack and break, the us ones dont.[/quote'] Garth, in the last few years I have seen broken S&M's, Fit's, FBM's and T1's. As well as brokem Taiwan frames like Fly's, Federal etc. All frames break. But most of the newer Taiwan frames have nicer features and are lighter. In my opinion, the Taiwan BMX frames are better than the USA frames. I've also seen way more USA made bars bend in comparison to the newer Taiwan 11 and 13 butted bars. Even the S&M handlebar tubing come from Taiwan... it's just welded in the States!
Danger Dassie Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 A true 'Kwela' should be painted in blue and yellow....

AndreZA Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 oh, I want the white one. The little jump/dirt frames also look hot.
splat Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Crow. Where did you get that? I cant read that. Even with my binocs!
