Howzit Justinafrika, your bike looks really nice, thank you for considering. Can you tell me the inches on the large frame? My cell is 0️⃣8️⃣3️⃣3️⃣8️⃣1️⃣9️⃣1️⃣0️⃣3️⃣ when you want to share more pics. Cheers

I agree nice bike, just waiting to hear what the inches are on the large frame.

Thank you for your post and appreciate the offer and info on your bike. Can you say how many inches is your large frame sounds funny

In my limited knowledge am I correct in saying: Fork - Air (rockshox or suntour) Groupsets - Shimano (which series are better) Wheels - 29ers (which are better) ??

Thanks David, what brands would you suggest as a secondhand option?

What secondhand bike would you recommend for a 50 year old 178cm height? I have been advised on going for a medium frame and 29" wheels. My budget is under R10k. Normal cross country trails and nothing too technical. Would like it to hold good resale value in the event of upgrading at a later stage.

Thanks for your advice, appreciated.

Sid thank you, if I may ask what secondhand bike would you recommend for a 50 year old 178cm height? I have been advised on going for a medium frame and 29" wheels. My budget is under R10k.

Thank you for the welcome, appreciate the knowledge and advice shared on this forum. By the way I am now with my second wife and thankful for it.

I understand the times with so many scams and fraudsters around but I seem to be unable to view a bike that I`m interested in buying. Looking to purchase a bike for myself and my wife. I have just purchased a bike for my wife through through Steven spw Williams with payment done this morning, absolute pleasure dealing with Steven. I am however battling to get a deal done for a bike I am interested in. So far, 2 separate sellers seem unwilling? - Seller doesn`t give a viewing address when enquiring. - Seller stops communicating on message even after I provide my cell number and business email. - Seller doesnt give a contact number after request. What gives? Am I missing something here? Even with the pictures in the advert I would still like to view the bike and see everything is 100% I am also happy to proceed with bikepay so the question is, is wanting to view the bike a big nono? Are there any other ways or things I can do to abate any fears from the seller when wanting to view the bike?
