Hey guys, is there anyone in Aus who sells BT's, and what sort of pinga are they going for?

Also, if anybody over there is looking at buying a Speed Race, advise them not to, they're peices of shit, worst quality control ever. http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/images/icons/icon13.gif

Hey,

To confirm, we have one White BT 4.0, 4-bolt left in stock. It is priced at $600. 5.0's are all sold.

Quoted from our website "The BT RAVen 6.0 is due for production in early March. It will be available in late March / early April. There will be two different lengths available, 1065 and 1100, they will both be available in 4-Bolt or V mount format and they will all have a reinforced rear disc mount."

Write us an email with what you would like if you have specific wants on the frame, for example, colour and mount.

The problem(s) with my Speed Race are,

Headtube is not square, meaning the headset doesn't sit straight in the headtube, and there is some ugly scoring on the inside of the tube.

The drop outs are not square to each other, this causes the trued wheel to sit to one side of the frame and rub.

The replaceable hanger is the shittiest design ever, it moves under spring tension from the derailleur as it has no lugs to stop it from doing so.

I to saw the pictures on the net and had high hopes, but shit like this has left me a little under-awed.

Whats the difference between the 4 and 5 Alex.

Cheers

We aren't bringing any more 4.0's or 5.0's into the country as they are no longer produced. 6.0's will arrive late march/early april.

the differences between the 4.0 and 5.0 are slight. there is 3cm more standover on the 5.0 and a marginably higher BB. that is all. i believe they ride the same.
