Got a Full Carbon Dual suspension Test model arriving in 2 weeks.

The factory said its been factory tested and now i am going to take it out and thrash it around to see if it holds up, looks very sweet though

What would be a great weight for something like this ?

They do a Carbon Hardtail as well which weighs 1125g, ( medium ) which seems pretty good to me ?

If the FS including shock comes in at about 2-2.2kg it will be a bargain. Alu ones are between 2.4-2.6 kgs. That HT looks sweet and at 1125gr it will do well in sales.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

Yes the HT is a good weight and what I like about it, is that it doesn't have v-brake bosses. That would set it apart from other Eastern imports. YOur price should be right though.

I brought one in for under R4000 including headset, seatpost, bottle cage and handlebar.

But if you make it pretty enough you can ask a lot more for it

Going to be fully branded as Black Spade and will be as hot as the Road and TT Bikes.

I offer full 2 year warranty and the reason i love this factory is that they custom build and its not the normal cheap " All look the same " stuff.

Dual suspension frame is 1585g for a medium

Thanks, just finishing off road and TT and then these are the next items to be done.

I also do the MTB carbon wheels, they say they are 1439g a set and look like they wont be able to be tubeless, although i hear some people say any wheel can be tubeless so not sure, retail will be R 8999 as well
