Hi Guys, myself and cousin have entered our first Argus this year. We are intermediate MTB riders. We just bought our first road bicycles last week and are starting to train for the Argus. Can anyone suggest some training techniques and tips for first timers. Also if we could join some of you guys for some Chappies rides etc that would be amazing. Appreciate it, Regards Shaun 0724354423

Missed it, please if anyone wants to drop out let me know. First timer Shaun 0724354423

Hi Guys, I am desperately searching for a second hand dual suspension 29er, size Large. Started mountain biking this year, on a hardtail, love the sport. Myself and rider buddy want to start training for Sani2C in December, but we need dual suspension bikes. For some reason the second hand market is booming and bikes are moving like hot cakes. Please if you know anyone or see a Large dual suspension XC/trail 120mm travel dual suspension bike, budget around 25k, please let me know. Will also start another thread in a week or two with advice on training/tips for Sani2c. Thanks a lot. Shaun 0724354423

Would yo u Guys recommend a 2018 Scott Spark 950, its in great condition. It has 2x10 drivetrain which i guess i can upgrade. It has the Fox 32 Rhythm upfront which is the same as the 2021 Scott Sparks for nearly double the price? I am just worried about weight as i have heard the only thing wrong with these bikes is they are heavy. Id like to do XC/trails and some beginner races in the future. Regards

Thanks guys, what about a 2015 Trek Superfly 7 FS

Hi Guys, Looking for recommendations on a new bike. (Sold my hardtail and would love a dual suspension). My budget is less than 25k. Style:Cross Country and Trail Riding. Size: Large Possibilities i have come across 1) Scott Spark (Older models and Newer models are similar priced?) 2) Merida One Twenty or 96 3) Silverback Sido 4) Giant Anthem 5) Older Specialized models I have been using a 2013 Scott Spark 900 SL, bike is also available to buy at Bike Market, price is 23k. It has really nice components and is full carbon so it weighs nothing, but the frame is quite scratched and bike is 7 years old. Really appreciate the help.

Trail and Cross Country. Thanks will check it out

Saw this now as well:

I am taking the Scott 900 to try out this weekend will let you guys know how it goes, also any recommendations on trails, we have done Northern farms, Huddle park and Delta Park. Really appreciate it.

Thanks for the input man, I am looking for a Large and also needs to be 29er and not 26 as the Giant you posted. Appreciate the help. A spanner in the works, speaking of smaller wheels, i did see a Large 27.5 Pyga thats basically new for 26k. But im guessing that is more for enduro than trails and xc.

Good to know, i tried a much newer lower spec Scott Dual Suspension at the the same place they have the 2013 900 Spark, it felt a lot slower and sluggish and cheap. I am looking for a dual suspension, but thanks for the heads up on the trek. Other bikes i have found in the 25k range: (Other than the 2020 960 Spark and 2013 900 Spark) 2017 Scott 950 (This looks nice but is a 2 x 11 drive train). 2018 Merida 120 600

Would you guys recommend this for 6k more?
