Thanks, Linton. (Un)fortunately I live in CT, but I will see if I can find a similar deal here.

Thanks, Polo. I failed to mention that CycleLab has agreed to include the tubeless conversion as well. Even so, I am still more inclined towards the Silverback.

Hi People, I want to buy a soft tail and have R15k to spend. After some browsing I think I've narrowed it down to two bikes: - A KTM Score RC 4.0 2010 from CycleLab marked down from R20k and they are throwing in a KTM riding kit (shirt and pants) - A Silverback Mercury 2 2011 The Silverback has slightly better components and a newer Aluminium compound (I assume lighter) is used for the frame. KTM is a more famous brand and perhaps the suspension design is better, although they have discontinued the Score is 2011. So, if anyone has an opinion on this, please reply. If there are other options (in the Cape Town area) that has similar specs to the Silverback, please let me know. Otherwise, I am leaning towards the Silverback and can use a push ;-)
