Hi Guys, I'm looking at getting either the Superfly 100 AL Elite http://www.trekbikes.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/cross_country/superfly_100/superfly_100_al_elite/# or AL Pro http://www.trekbikes.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/cross_country/superfly_100/superfly_100_al_pro# and would appreciate your thoughts and experiences, if any, of the bike. Good/bad or indifferent. Thanks
I've used Evans a couple of times and never had a problem. You must realize that Royal mail is slow, very slow and your goods can take 30+ days to arrive.
Trek 100 AL Pro. On special for R35,000. http://www.bike-advisor.com/category/bicycle-guides Or Superfly 100 AL Elite for R28,000 http://www.bike-advisor.com/category/bicycle-guides
They are a great brand. Been riding a Cube 26 for the last 2 and a half years and haven't had any problems. Recently I had to replace one of the rear linkages for the rear shock (wear and tear) and the bike shop had it within three days from the agents.
As mentioned, it took a while to get used to it and I agree with Slowbee, some magazine costs are a joke but nothing beats carrying 10 + magazines in your back pocket.
Make sure you have a spare tube and know how to change it.The USN race is normaly quite popular with kids and families and has a great vibe and whatever you think I KNOW you will have fun. A couple of years ago the 10km ride was one of the first races my daughter did-12 at the time-and as you get to the finish you ride quite close to the dam which is quite bumpy. Well a couple of bumps later she found herself and her bike sitting in the dam in the middle of June. Man was she p*ssed off! When I spoke to the marshal who saw it happen later on, he said seeing the expession on her face was priceless and killed himself laughing.
