Sling Cycles Tagati

Good day, I m new on this forum. I m from South Africa. I m looking in to buying titanium gravel bike and I would like to support local business. I came on to this guys slingcycles.
I never heard about them before. It seams that they are quite good airplane manufacturer, but not a lot info about the bicycle. Anyone heard about them? Thx

Seems like a nice bike. Threaded bb, flat mount, thru axles, really good tire clearance. Please report back if you get one. https://slingcycles.com/our-bikes/

I haven’t heard of them until now, but looking at their site, I like how open and transparent they are, like with “stop by the hangar for a test ride,” listing pricing, and the open invitation to join their weekly company ride. That’s cool, IMO.

I did trip across Calculus Cycles recently, and they’re in ZA making some pretty sophisticated Ti bikes. I don’t know anything about them other than what I’ve seen in pics, but it appears they do some neat tube shaping and their finishing aesthetic is sharp indeed. Have you seen those?

I saw one, one time. They look nice but are really expensive.
