It's going to be a frighteningly modern machine.

Wiggly Dawing Wednesday: I just love this line drawing my wife did 6 years ago and it's finally come to roost in the workshop.

Art must make you feel something and despite its simplicity this drawing elicits complex feelings in me...

Sneaky storage compartment on this custom steel handlebar for Andrew.
Perfect for stashing a trail side, umm, gherkin.

Or a puncture repair kit...

*KING DONG LOOKING FOR A KINGDOM*
.
This King Dong frame was built as stock for the workshop and has never been built up or ridden.
.
The King Dong is the madder, badder, longer, slacker brother to the Hungry Monkey and it lives for the mildly lunatic fringe that is Hardtail Enduro.
.
It's equally at home built up as an immensely capable trail bike. It's an utter riot pointed down and surprisingly agile going back up.
.
This frame is a large and has a reach of 470mm. The headangle is 66.5 degree with a 160mm fork sagged to 33%. There's only room for one bottle as the seat tube is capable of running today's modern ultra long dropper posts. A port in the base of the seat tube allows for stealth routing.
This frame sports unfiled "Factory Fillets" and has been powder coated metallic gunmetal grey.
.
I'm selling it for R12000, a 20% saving over a newly commissioned one and of course, the best part is that it's available immediately.
.
And I'll give you a tee.
.
Can you handle this Dong?

*HUNGRY MONKEY LOOKING FOR A HANDLER*
.
This Hungry Monkey frame is for sale. It was built as stock for the workshop. It's never been built up and is frothing to get rowdy on the trails with its new human handler.
.
Are you that human?
.
The frame is a large and has a reach of 467mm. It's designed around a 140mm fork but can handle anything between 120 to 150mm. I even built up mine with a cushy 160mm Pike! It rolls on 27.5 wheels and will accept 2.5 in rubber.
It's a versatile, do-it-all hardtail trail bike that's most at home seeking out narrow ribbons of secret single-track in the forests.
This example sports unfiled "Factory Fillets" and it has been clear powdercoated.
.
It's selling for R12000- a saving of 20% on a commissioned Hungry Monkey. And to sweeten the deal I'll throw in a workshop tee.
.
And the best part is that you can have it immediately.
.
Get in touch if you'd like to add a Monkey to your family!

I make funny faces when I ride. It's even worse when I try not to. Last week @raymakestv did some filming around the workshop and out on the hill. He also shot the old charger, @irideafrica, belting some hand-built trails aboard his hand built #ganglygibbon.
The episode airs this evening at 7pm on @supersporttv . Tune in for a glimpse behind the scenes at MercerBikes.
