I'm looking for a bike for someone who helped in my garden in the past. So to use for daily commute from township to suburbs. I want something that will last longer than the previous Raleigh I bought from Makro - tyres lasted only 2 weeks, other components less than a year. But I also can't spend more than +- R4000, including getting it to Bloem. 26er ok, ideally size M.
Avalanche AX175 from sportmans warehouse (R5k) doesn't look like it will last. Other than that I found a Biko (also R5k) in local shop. But both more expensive than what I'm willing to pay. Found a secondhand Raleigh Platinum Eldorado for R3000, but it's a very old Raleigh..
Some nice looking options for sale here. The Trek and Silverbacks look nice, but I have no idea what would be best, so any advice will be appreciated.
