SimpleDom Posted November 26, 2014 Share Look what I did. Some call me crazy. I think it will make me a better rider. My trail themed SS is finally "finished" complete with dropper, 120mm travel fork, and flats. Hairy, unishaun, shaper and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted November 26, 2014 Share DomP, that is an epic Cotic! Is that your seat height? Maybe you need a bigger frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleDom Posted November 26, 2014 Share DomP, that is an epic Cotic! Is that your seat height? Maybe you need a bigger frame?Thanks man. Yip.... I'm tall. It's the biggest frame available besides a custom frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doppelganger Posted November 26, 2014 Share I've seen you spin like a malletjie to get across the bridge at the bottom of Main to avoid being squashed by cars... SimpleDom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted November 26, 2014 Share That's the only part of the ride that I hate. That is a particularly dodgy section to cross. Cars coming from both sides are carrying serious speed and the small rideable section on the bridge is quite narrow.  But do what the Sheriff said, when heading towards Kyalami, head into the forest on the left, as you passed the bridge. That saves you a dodgy section of road, till you get to the top of the hill. Wyatt Earp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted November 26, 2014 Share Yes. I like that little forest climb. It's even more fun on the way down! It is, but I'd keep my eyes open if I were you. Haven't come across to many shady characters in there, but you never know.  Going down you have speed on your side, should something happen, but when going up the hill..

Monark Posted November 27, 2014 Share Update time... My Momsen Str frame is with Bogus. I bought a very nice 29er rigid fork from Warren (Cranked Cycles) down in the Cape. Being in Durban it is difficult to organise everything down there but Warren and Bogus have been legends. They are getting the fork and frame together for me down there. First class gents. Appreciated. Sprocket & Jack (Sean) have also been champs. They are helping me source my bits and bobs and offer some great advice. All in all the project is coming together nicely. Because she is in the Cape and JHB I sadly don't have any pictures. Awesome to see so many hubbers willing to help a complete stranger out. Makes one have faith again.

hboli4 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Enjoy your build! Also had lots of help from Hairy in the sourcing of my frame and some other bits. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
