I would say MERIDA > mongoose

does amazon have buyers protection like ebay?

HYDRAULIC all the way...

The Niner air 9 frame weighs approx 1.3kg at R6000 and it can take sus forks as well Don't see why you must buy a frame like this 1???

price?

weight and ERP?

Just for interest sake, whats the cheapest HT carbon 29er frame?

I take a medium frame

so does the niner air 9 have external or internal cable routing? I don't want to do backyard mods to a brand new frame...

I was in the same position like you a few months ago with same options. I really liked the scott aspect 30 but had bad components. so I looked at the silverback phoenix and got me 1. Its 1 good and solid bike with decent components and im quite happy with it. perfect for a 1st bike. So i'd say go SB phoenix!

are any of these frames above lighter than the niner air 9?

cool, I'll check with those places you mentioned on monday. I read up quickly on the frame and it looks impressive!

I've decided to upgrade to a 29er but I want to build the bike to my desired spec. I would like to know which 29er HT frame is a good, and most of all light frame to buy. If possible give ERP and weight of frame. It must be aluminium frame as carbon is a little too expensive. I plan to put XT groupset, RS SID fork and Carbon seat post, stem and handlebar. (not sure about the wheel set yet)but these mods will come verrryyy later on... I won't be doing jumps or extreme riding just normal trails and a bit road cycling, no racing. Thanks

Where can I buy a brand new Scott Scale 29er TEAM frame in Cape Town?

thanks guys for the suggestions but my buddy went for a mtb rather, he felt like doing trails and a little road cycling

Over the past few days I've been looking at the 29ers and even rode 1 I think I'll be heading in this direction instead. I've looked at options and it comes down to these 2: Scott Scale 29 Elite or Giant XTC 29er 1 Which has the better/ lighter frame as I will upgrade components later Is there also any other options I should consider at 15k?

I've seen the Silverback Spectra going for 10k. Good buy at this price

damn I can agree with you...

Nice and not a bad price

I plan on upgrading components/parts later depending on which mtb I take but I want the mtb with the best and lightest frame... So which 1 should it be?

yes but I'm looking at upgrading soon

I'm stuck with the choice between these 2 mtb's: Rockhopper Pro AND Scale 50 Your opinions would be much appreciated and tell me why you would take either 1 Thanks

I checked about a month ago and it was R4800
