Obviously offended enough to make a comment. As you were.

Ooof… are you offended by what I said ?

This bike was definitely not doing 32km/h. I honestly thought a motorbike had just passed me. Myself and another rider had to double check what just happened. It was just very silly, and sad to see to be honest.

When someone comes past doing 45km+ on a steepish climb in the cradle, then I would think yes, it makes a massive difference. Why they need to be so fast I will never know.

So I've decided to go for this , I still need to go see the bike but I'm pretty confident, what do you guys think? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/425291/2016-carbon-big-nine-merida

I mean if a seller doesn't reply for 7 days surely its fair to report the add?

Happens on the other side as well, I told a seller that I was interested in his bike 2 hours after he posted it. Its been 6 days still no response.

Thanks for the response. I think I'm going to go for this bike, hopefully the seller replies.

I think I'm going to for this one I really like the look and it is well spec'd. Thanks for all the help.

There are bike shops where I stay and I went them and they all tried to sell me something stock standard without telling me what the bike was suited for. I would like to do trails but I also would like to try out everything else and see what I enjoy the most. I am a road rider so I realise all the extra costs involved. I'm gonna go for this bike if the seller ever replies and go from there. Thanks for all your help.

Please feel free to give me your suggestions on any bike on sale at the moment or the ones I have linked. I'm really open to all advice!!

Thanks looks similar but not sure.

And the other components any good? I haven't managed to get hold of the seller to ask the year model or what condition it is in, if anyone knows what year it is that would be ver helpful

This came around recently https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/421874/merida-big-nine-29er-carbon-meduim what do you guys think good value?

was it the charger 1 or 2 because their website has both?

Thanks I'll look around. how much travel would I need? Is it possible to get a carbon hardtail for 15k used of course .

I haven't found a 29er with slx and decent fork on here for my price range but I've still got a few months to go and I will keep looking.

It's not there anymore.

I looked at their website, the charger is 18k which is 3k over my budget, I doubt they will discount that much.

Would you suggest a new bike or something used? The problem with looking used its difficult to find the right size or specs

Ok I just thought it was a good deal being full sus, are 26r dead now?

Please could you look at this bike give me your comments ? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/419553/brand-new-giant-anthem

ok thanks. what would you say about this? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/419553/brand-new-giant-anthem

That Titan drone comes with Shimano xt/slx isn't that also worth comparing?
