I'm sure you can get lighter for that price.

My friend recently got himself the "solis" and paid R7500 for it.  Not sure of the weight but with his Zipp 404's and Sram Force groupo his bike comes in at 7.00kg complete.  He has ridden bianchi before and he seems very happy with the solis, especially considerin what he paid for it.

Who makes Solis? Who imports it in SA? But I still think I'd rather go with a known name

I just remembered Solis aswell. they are quite light. Wherever you'll find Ravx accesories, you can find these.

He got it from our local bike shop but if i remember correctly Cajees were selling them at one stage.  Maybe it is not a well known brand but i am sure that it is a pretty decent frame.

Produx is in Killarney Industrial Park - take the first entrance , 1st right at the end of the road turn left and then about three roads up right into Brands Hatch. full carbon fibre frame , fork -  ask to include a carbon fibre seat post and handlebars. if you have decent wheels and components to build over to the new frame your bike should come in at under 7 kgs at a reasonable price. and best of all the bike will be built to fit you. but if you want to go for a mass produced piece of taiwanses tin..... it's your decision and your money

Like Popeye said...... buy a Bianchi. You'll never regret it

[fandacious]

I'd love to... my budget doesnt allow me to get a bianchi tho

[monkeyman]

Get the pinarello F3:13 or F4:13.

 

[Delgado]

buy a Piaggio!!

[monkeyman]

A solis is a very nice bike and good value for your money.

And it is a well known bike

Upgrade the engine......

Go have a look at Cycles Direct in Parklands. Last i was there they had some old stock Specialized frames for sale. In particular an alu/carbon Allez frame and fork for under 5K.
