If anyone is looking for the Garmin Vivo Active 3 (I got the Black/Slate one) would recommend you to look at Amazon. I saved about R2000 going that route. Now that Amazon does door to door shipping and not use SA postal service you know you will get your package. Link

Yes I agree. Definitely not going with a makro bike i'm convinced that its a waste of money. My next step is to research second hand bikes that can be upgraded or have already been upgraded.

Hi Yes I've gathered that its the frame size that matters and not the wheel size. Still very new to this. I'm still not sure that spending that much money on a bike is worth it for me just yet. I've looked trough the classifieds and see a lot of recommended bikes for my price range. I Guess I should look at a higher price range but then it will have to wait a whole while.

Found it.

Thanks, I feel like I have a lot more research to do before I should buy something.

Thanks please send me the link as soon as you post them.

Okay thanks, I'll definitely then rather buy second hand and maybe look at a 26". Any brands I should look at and others I should avoid?

Good day All, I'm very new to this and I've wanted a mountain bike for a while now. I've read trough a few posts and noticed that almost everyone hates on Raleigh and Makro. That said I'm looking into buying a mountain bike preferably a 29" as I'm 1.86m tall. I found this at Makro yesterday and Its on special for R3000 https://www.makro.co.za/sports-and-outdoor/raleigh-29-vapor-frs-mountain-bike-black/yellow-297608EA I know most of you don't like Makro because the people who build the bikes know nothing about them but if I can give it a good run trough and rebuild and check everything would this kind of bike be good for a beginner like me? I have a budget of about R3500 if you maybe have a better idea. I'm in the Sunninghill area.
