Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 29, 2010 Share It has a thread but it's not here, so this is my bike. I saw one of these frames in Black & white @ Epic Cycles the other day. Pure. Bike. Porn. Picked it up. Felt it. Caressed it. And Simon would have had to restrain me had I held onto it for a moment longer than I did. Very schweet bike there, Dangle. Consider me greeeeeeeen!

DawieO Posted November 30, 2010 Share Thanks Rock! My previous bike was all black, so the 2 make a very pretty pair. (And yes, it is a MISSION to keep this clean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted November 30, 2010 Share Nice on the bike, Dawie. Pity I got such bad arc-eyes building those whiteys. Next time I'll wear sunglasses. Hope Hubs, ZTR 355 Rims. DT Revolution spokes, black, red alu nipples. The second-prettiest wheels I've ever had the pleasure of building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2010 Share Here's mine... Just taken this afternoon on the way to Silvermine Gate, before missioning back down... Couple of things I want to do to her, but they will have to wait for christmas to come around before I can "implement" the upgrades. Translation - get the fiancee' something of equal value...

Wannabe Posted December 4, 2010 Share Here's a pic of my "old" Mtb, a Schwinn Mesa, and my "new" Mtb. Swopped the frame (together with a few other bicycling bits and bobs I had floating around) out for a Giant XTC2 SuperLight frame, my "New" Mtb. Did the rebuild with the help of Mark Rich of Cape Town Cycles. THANKS MARK, YOU ARE A STAR Specs as follows: Sram XO gripshifts, rest Sram X7 spec (soon to be upgraded to X9)except for crankset which is Deore with external BB. Wheels are Shimano M565, disc compatible (disc also to be fitted in future) Tyres are Geax Saguaro in front and Mezcal at back, tubeless off course. Fork is Dart 3 with remote lockout (WILL BE FIRST THING TO BE UPGRADED!!) Bike weighs in at about 13 kg. Will be taking her for a shakedown run at Majic this afternoon. Schwinn Mesa Giant XTC2, SL.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 4, 2010 Share Good upgrade, Wannabe... lekker to do it slow & steady on a frame that you really appreciate. You'll save loads on weight when you swap out that Dart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted December 4, 2010 Share OK, back from my Majik ride. No expert on bicycles, but Giant frame feels more responsive than Schwinn (could be down to size, as the Schwinn was a 20", where the Giant is a 18"). Enjoyed a leisurely hour long ride. Now legs up, resting for Burger tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted December 5, 2010 Share Good upgrade, Wannabe... lekker to do it slow & steady on a frame that you really appreciate. You'll save loads on weight when you swap out that Dart!I agree, but what to replace it with. Will a white Fork be overkill. Still want to fit white Lizardskin grips.

Caerus Posted December 5, 2010 Share I agree, but what to replace it with. Will a white Fork be overkill. Still want to fit white Lizardskin grips. Never, white pant & shoe now thats overkill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
