I'm busy collect as much info about what bike to buy, but I'm totally confused due to info overload and do not know what to focus on.
I'm 169cm and inseam is 79cm. I think I will buy a medium - not sure. I have approx R15k to buy a bike. There are so many features to compare and I do not know what's the best. I totally new in bike riding. We need to use it for leisure - riding on some dirt roads and around in the neighbourhood. Maybe later we will also join a group, but at first I want to settle in biking riding.
I want to buy a 29er hardtail, (that's all that I'm sure about). But what other features should one consider, like:
What shocks (air or coil?) :
What size - small or medium?
Type of brakes?
Is a TREK Marlin 7 a good buy for R13000 on sale?
I'm in the Bloem area and would also consider a good second hand bike, but afraid that I might waste my money.
I will appreciate some advice!!
