patches Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g4/Qiksilva/DSC00185.jpg Too late to ask for it back? That is one mean looking bike. haha! Crow, I remember I was looking into selling my little toes on the black market so I could buy that frame off you! I ended up getting myself an Izimu instead... nowhere near as hot as this bike, but I managed to keep my little toes!

wiMPers Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Whats the weight of your GT Willem' date=' looks awesome.[/quote'] Weight is 9.7kg as shown in the pictures, with cages and PowerTap wheel.(The PowerTap does have a bit of a weight penalty to it)
Weight Weenie Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Awesome Willem ! How are those wheels, im getting the standard build in a week or so, can't wait ! But I was lead to believe that they could not be built onto any hub(the rim) who built these ? I have the previous 240s and thought they wouldnt work, or are the new ones different ? Wouldn mind a powertap on my 355's to go with the garmin im getting

(The PowerTap does have a bit of a weight penalty to it) ?[/quote'] and those tyres are almost 600gr each. Just yesterday I was wondering what ever happened to that bike.
Weight Weenie Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 600g ? wow, damn the ust is only like 50-100g heavier. And there I thought protection was a good midway to go to.

[/quote'] yip, I weighed mine personally and this was the results and that is why the Aspens were such a big improvement at 463gr each. Conti MTN King 2.2 Protection 596g Conti Speed King 2.1 Protection 530g
WorcesterWheelers Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Ooooo' date=' those Rotor cranks are hot. Are those the new hollow ones?[/quote'] Thanks. I actually liked the look of the old Agilus cranks better. But, yes these are the new CNC machined cranks

Wouldn mind a powertap on my 355's to go with the garmin im getting [/quote'] I'm very happy with the wheels!As far as I know the Podium MMX rims can be built onto any hub...Johan Bornman built the wheels for me (highly reccommend him to build any wheel). Front I have DT Swiss tripple butted spokes and rear DT Swiss double butted spokes (CycleOps/PowerTap doesn't reccommed building PowerTap wheel with tripple butted spokes) As far as the Easton stuff goes, the MonkeyLite SL riser bar is a must have! Makes a huge difference on handling!
WorcesterWheelers Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 WW just out of interest what is the price jump from your HT to a dual spez? Did price have anything to do with you going HT? Hot bike by the way! Probably around R15,000 depending on which frameset you would use on the Dual. 2010 Stumpjumper HT frameset - R20,7992010 S-Works Epic frameset - R35,100 Yes, price did play a little bit of a roll, but honestly not very much. I'm still a HT fan through & through. Thanks for the compliment, It's not only stunning to look at, its also an AWESOME ride. Ne Onetime?
Weight Weenie Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Ah one day when im big ill get a powertap to go with my garmin
