I see the rear deraileur is now SLX as to the XT on the 2011 version... Price also probably the same or a tad more...

Don't have one, but it's quite popular, at races as well. I'm selling an Epic 29er Check classifieds.

Any part-time jobs available for a law student? At a law firm that is... I'm a third year student at UP. Andre

Spectra is about 10k But definately Silverback, the groupsets is the best in that price category.

I think a Specialized Stumpjumper 29er HT is less than R23k...somebody correct me? link: http://www.specialized-sa.co.za/contentbike.php?range=201&year=&bike=235 Don't have any of these you mentioned so cant really help... Goodluck mate

I'm with him...thanks

for 10k, i'd go for the Silverback Spectra 2011. SLX/XT. Recon gold fork. Beautiful bike!

Smaller wheels climb better? Just curious...don't want this to turn into a wheelsize debate.

I was looking for a 30.9 and my LBS was out of stock(they are not anymore)...but you do get them smaller.
