I am in the market for a carbon 29er frame and came across the Accelerator Concepts, does anyone know anything about this frame and at R14 000 for the frame, are there any other recommendations?

Thanks. Do you perhaps know how much they go for or can you give me the name of importers of local bike shop that stocks them?

In cape town I know Epic bike shop does them, if you want the Air9 carbon (Carbon hardtail race) they are the main holders in SA. the air 9 i think is around 18-19k for the frame and is absolutely amazing.(also just released a new colour for it)

Good choice but i think id still take the Niner, simply because they have experience(been doing 29 for over 30 years) and a 5 year guarantee.

Never heard of them, but if you're even slightly cash-conscious, then have a look at the On One 29er Carbon Race frame. Only avail in 18" at the moment, but other sizes out in the next month or so. At GBP799 for a 1.1kg frame weight - which gets some rave reviews - It'd be silly to not just take a look at least.
