jarek.pski Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 the last weekend was my first proper weekend on an mtb so I'm also new to this.... WELCOME!!
gummibear Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Hello guys, so ive been drooling over all of the bikes and just cant stop looking!!! Me and my girlfriend decided to do something together and we decided upon mtb, we didnt wanna spend too much at first so we bought Raleigh Nomad's. Ive got a Nomad seventy and she got a Nomad sixty. We know they aren't the best bikes but were only starting out!! Welcome and hope you both enjoy the sport.
NotSoBigBen Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Just the gears still to go, picking up white cable outer tomorrow - thanks Dangle!
dirtrider Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Will this still be completed this year ?I hope you cycle faster than building bikes !!

NotSoBigBen Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Sweet ride MJ! Not sure I'd want to take it out though, would be scared to scratch it .....
covie Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I love my bike... Looking at the pillows I would say its a safe bet you did that while your wifey/grily was out of the country lol.
mike xtreme Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Don't think I posted her here yet. like the wheels!!

andretraut Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 My ride... 2011 Spez S-Works Stumpjumper with 2 x 10 XTR
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 lekker fiets, Andre... Here's mine after the "update" and after a wet Tokai session... Seat is down low for the descent. So much better when wet! Upgrades - Reba RLT @ 100mm (changing to 120mm soon) 9sp deore shifters, fully enclosed cable kit, new cassette & chain, tubeless conversion. Saved 1.6kg with the fork upgrade alone. Next to come is a new crankset, then a smaller stem and finally better rims. But only when these ones funk out. Crankset is currently in the process of funking out, and will need a replacement soon. This thing descends pretty well for a 100mm HT. Slacker head angle than most xc hardtails, and heavy heavy welding. Helluva strong frame.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 shot bro... I'm going to be based 2km from Tokai at my new office, so the temptation is going to be huge. As is the potential for a good 'ol thrash on a *** day. The bike was 5k new.
NotSoBigBen Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Had a couple of rides in Scottburgh and a ride though Rietvlei Zoo Farm - WOW what a difference between my 07' Epic to this 2010 version
