that is a R70k bike, out of my budget.

and here I am looking at the "cheap" dual suspension bikes. It seems that around the 40-50k mark is now considered entry level for a dual suspension. the Trek Top Fuel 7 comes in at R50k as well.

Thanks, I have spoken to Leeroy.

Thanks thebob. I will call the store, I am currently riding a L hardtail (Silverback Stride Comp).

what should be the weight for this type of bike?

Th problem I have is finding stock in Durban. I did also look at the Trek initially. I have reached out to TrekSA for a Durban agent.

this makes great sense. thank you.

Ola Riders. I am looking at getting a new Scott Spark. I initially looked at the 970 but saw that the price difference between that and the 960 was not huge. I made a little comparison sheet with the differences highlighted in yellow. would the 960 be a better option over the 970? if yes, why? I look for ward to your feedback.
