Thank you, much appreciated.

I am looking at selling my 2013 Spez Epic Carbon Comp and would appreciate advice on pricing. Bike has seen very little use as a result of health issues shortly after I purchased new. Probably put 1500 km on it at most.

Thank you Cippo - going there now.

Just bought new tires for the MTB, went on ride and rear tire was not sealed properly so "goo" everywhere. I would like to ride tomorrow and need this sorted tomorrow - any shops open who can assist in Cape Town area?

pm sent - what would the shipping cost be from Transylvania?

Thx for the pm Peter, but I think she needs a small.

Thx for all the input and replies everyone... I am looking at a decent setup first and then once that is done will make a few decisions, one of which could be lightening up the bike a little - better wheels, decent air shock etc. Should all come in less than R10k and if the setup is correct that would enhance the bike a lot more. In addition, I also feel that besides setup a little money invested on a skills clinic would enhance her confidence levels as well. Keeping options and opinions open for now.

Damn, just enquired and you are right - will have to try and raise the cash now!'

Where do I get this?

Thx guys - the Spez Myka she has (about 2008 model) is heavy as well.

Thx - looks like a great option?

Thx Nico, what size bike does your wife ride? Very little options available in women's specific so looking at sizing for men's sizing ?

I am looking for a FS for my wife and would appreciate advise on what's available and suitable. She currently rides a Spez Myka FSR which is quite heavy. She is about 159/160cm tall and prefers a more relaxed geometry so no extreme XC race machines. I am also unsure as to whether to go 29er as well. Budget around R20k

Years ago Bell had a slogan : " if you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet"... They were referring to motorcycle helmets but I think it still applies to all protective headgear...

I agree on some points: 1) Riser bars a distinct possibility 2) Already has an 85mm stem so can go a little shorter I suppose 3) Only difference between BMC and Tallboy ...mmm... maybe a bit more than that and also 26" vs 29" Maybe I am incorrect and am quite open to being corrected but I am reluctant to change to a different front end with longer travel as this would change the geometry as you intimated. Again, I may be overthinking this ...
