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!

[NinjaManiak]

Where was that pic taken Ninja? Great views.

 

 

Stryder, it was taken here...

 

[WynieSteyn]

and the servicing? have you needed to buy spares yet?

 

No serviceing needed so far have done about 3000km on it. . .happy so far(it has sealed bearings)performs like a dream!

[Stryder]

hee hee.

 

Nice shot of here, wish I was here right now. But I am not, I am there, here.

[DawieO]

My Zula is finished!

 

Thanks for the sparkly wheels JB...

 

 

[rock]

very nice, I hope white stays in vogue next year

 

its true, jealousy does make you nasty.......

[DawieO]

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)

[Johan Bornman]

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.

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...

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.

Giant XTC2, SL.

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!

[Wannabe]

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.

I agree, but what to replace it with. Will a white Fork be overkill. Still want to fit white Lizardskin grips.
