mon-goose Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 What full carbon road frames are currently on the market for R10 000 or less? I know the solis scoria is available for R10 000 but what else is available.
AndreZA Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 If you get a Solis for 10 you're being ripped off. Should not be more then 8. I'm sure the Karbonia is sub 10. Should get a Giant aswell.
Mr MacPhisto Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 I think some of the level Bianchi's and specialized's might come close - probably not under 10k, but around 12'ish?
AndreZA Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 I forgot about Marin. They are really good looking for about 8.5.
hagar Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 pm Fandacious I stand to be corrected I think he just bought a Solis Carbon Frame recently and was under 10

jchain Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 get hold of Hot Spot cycles, they have specials running on Bianci frames....
Eugene Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I've been thru this as well. This is what I found. Fuji C4 R6000, Fuji C7 R8000, Dart R6000 and Prorace R6000 at Solomons. I was quoted R7 200 for a Silverback at Wayne Pheifer Cycles (in PE) and I heard that Action Cycles (in PE) also had a Silverback for R5500, although I saw them marked at R7 900. Bicycling list one of the Specialized Tarmacs at R11 000 in their price guide.
Kriek Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 For under R10 000 I would say the Solis Umbra is the best buy.Weighs at 1.00kg.And I think you can buy one vir around R6000.
Icarus Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 If you get a Solis for 10 you're being ripped off. Should not be more then 8. I'm sure the Karbonia is sub 10. Should get a Giant aswell. Got quotes for the Solis frames'07Scoria - R9140Umbra - R8300'06Magma - R8000Nitro - R7230
Jensie Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Solis is nice. I know 2 people that is riding them and they are very happy.
