oh don't get me wrong noteing wrong with bikes made in the east, the last bike i had that was made in the USA was horrible......really horrible...canno.....never mind

 

 

 

I just like the novelty of having a bike made locally, hopefully Patrick had a heavy hand in the design of the frame, plus hopefully it will be good price as well to get the brand out to more riders......really want to see this brand go BIG....even more than it is at the moment.

 

 

The entire tubeset is a proprietory Morewood tubeset, and all of the design and prototyping has been done right on our shores by Roan Exelby and Dave Lieman through the year. The tubeset used for the Kwela is based on the same design as the Zula uses only to meat a more competitive price bracket and facilitate the ability to produce larger numbers these guys needed to be made abroad. The Zula will still be made proudly in SA though along with the rest of our line-up.

Any one know what the weight on those HT frames is?

Looks cool, reminds me of the White 19.

RacerX the proto's weighed in at 1400g for a medium. Production will be much the same.
