Look, I would like to try my hand at some trails but also practice on the road. I actually considered entering the 42km CTCT race this year but I decided to train and then consider next year's CTCT. Maybe by then, I will feel ready to do the full 109km. I'm going to have a look at the Scott Aspect 930 29" bike that @Theunissa posted above on Sunday and if that's not suitable (as it's a small frame bike; although from the Scott site, the Small and Medium frames have rider height overlap) I will perhaps take @Bicycle Yard Zarras WESTERN CAPE up on his offer. But yeah, I am cautious of making the wrong choice, especially since buying a bike is a fairly sizeable expense. I will update the thread if I end up taking the Scott. It seems to be in a really good condition from the pics.
