Hi there. I do appreciate the inputs. I've been looking on FB and taking the advice of the other gentlemen. I do not wish to ask money from anyone. I'm in Pretoria. I don't think I even mentioned that. I think maybe there are some folks with connections or know of where I can buy. Thank you SO SO MUCH!!

Hi there I am looking to help 2 people out. Unfortunately I don't have much to work with. The first is a boy of 14, about 1.68m tall. He needs a bicycle to get to a from school. About 8kms x 2 distance per day. The second is a cleaner at work. Very diligent. Walks almost 2 hours to work every day and 2 hours back home. I thought to help him out with a bicycle would reduce the time spend getting to and from work. I have been looking for 29ers but have either just missed it @about R1500 to R1800. I need help to find bikes. Maybe one this week and another by the end of the month. I also thought maybe I can sell my bike and buy the bikes with that money. I have a Titan Nova 2018 29er medium frame. It is worth about R6500. I can sell it for R5000 and get two new Raleighs from Makro. Can anyone help me find bikes? In the past I used to build up bikes to give away, but two were stolen during 2021 and 2022, so I do not have much left. Thank you. Mike

Hi I went to visit them. The bikes look ok. They give a 1 year guarantee on the frame, but the components have no support. I can't say what quality these branded Shimano components are, but it seems good for the price. I'm still looking around and asking around - I don't actually know anything, so I ask cyclists. I think you should go visit and ask questions. I want to ask them for a booklet though. I forgot that. Mike
