BMC: What with the "team captain", next to my name.....?

Majik is a free for all zone. I'll come, show you around if you want. (sounds like you haven't ridden there before)

12.5kg is quite light for a entry level bike!!

57-59 road bike or larger will be a large mtb frame, but it varies on different brands.....

The Merida TFS 700, Rockshock Tora fork, Shimano Deore Disc Brakes, LX and XT gears. J

Schwinn and mongoose the best value for money, but for 10k you can get a very nice Merida as well, which would be lighter. I'd go for that.

Sounds like a plan. Will let you know. J

OK guys, haven't checked the weather and don't know if there is a race, (I'm not racing it anyway) so, everyone who is interested: Social mtb ride Sunday 25 May. Let me know. J

My current hardtail is a Schwinn moab.... very heavy frame. Want to get the mongoose canaan, don't think the bike will end up heavier.... parts is SRAM x.7 and x.9, juicy 3 and rock shock tora. J

Hi all! I am contemplating upgrading from hardtail to dualie... Still want a XC bike, so 80-100mm travel is fine. I'm just gonna transfer my parts from the hardtail, so only buying the frame. What frame do you suggest? My budget is kinda limited, so please: NO CARBON!!!! Currently my number 1 option is the mongoose canaan. J

I also reckon road shoes will last longer than mtb shoes....

My problem: My budget doesn't allow me to do cycling: PERIOD! Now I'm already considering buying a dual susser.... before you know it I'll be buying a road bike!!!

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as I.... Constantly wanting something new and better.... Got my bike December, and already thinking of upgrading.... You see where this is going??? J

Commencal currently has 20% discount on 2007 models(or so I heard), if I were you I would get the hardtail (silverback/schwinn/mongoose) for parts and get the meta 4.1 frame....

Also look at the option of buying a 15k hardtail, like a mongoose, and do a frame trade in..... mongoose is the best value for money regarding parts....

WIES BANG!!!!

Villa de vie is in vredekloof road, vredekloof, just of the n1 when you take the brackenfell boulevard off-ramp. planning on riding zevenwacht, distance to be determined.....

Still no takers for the ride??? what a shame....

Hi all! I know Sunday is mothersday and all, but we are going to go mtb'ing none the less. All welcome Place of start, Villa de Vie, Vredekloof, Brackenfell. Time: 07h30 J

Fanie: hou my maar op hoogte as julle gaan ry.... soos die manne hier van jou fiksheid praat kan ek seker maar met my nobblies saamry!!

HR, what do you mean Fanie is a lekker okie, for an afrikaner?? ALL WE AFRIKANERS ARE LEKKER OKIES!!

Sorry about you being a roadie! Change to mtb and we can talk! Hope you get sorted!

in my opinion: RUN AWAY!!! SPINNING WAS CREATED BY THE DEVIL!!!!
