Hey guys. Looking through our classifieds hasn't yielded much but was wondering: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/7231-anthem-x/ <-- what do you think of this one? R10500

Great! I'll make a list sometime tonight and see what the guys think of them Thanks very much

Rouxtjie, I would actually prefer a good second hand bike. Seems I can get a much better bike for the price. Are there any brands in particular I should look at? Is there anything I should look for when buying a second hand bike?

Great tip Thank you!

Thanks so much for the welcome. I'm so surprised how fast people have replied Seems like a great community! Awesome! I don't think I would have found that. I'll check it out this weekend! Thanks

Thanks for the reply! Is that new? When you say specced? Are those specs I put together or is it just what comes with the bike (sorry, i really don't know much about this!)

Thank you for the fast reply! I hope you don't mind me asking more questions? So your advice is buy new? If so are there any stores you'd recommend in CT? I've been looking around the classifieds on this site but there isn't too much available at the moment. Should I be wary of bikes pre 2010?

Thanks so much for the reply! Unfortunately they don't have anything even close to my price range in my size (large). I'll check it frequently tho!

Hello everyone, I'm new here! I started mountain biking a few months ago using a bike I had from a friend. That bike was recently stolen but now I find myself looking for a new one. I have around 12,000 to spend but I don't know what kind of bikes I should be looking. I would like a dual suspension bike but past that I'm not really sure what prices are fair. I've looked at new bikes but they are rediculously expensive so it seems 2nd hand is generally the way to go? If I was to get a 2nd hand bike, how could I tell how well the person has taken care of it? I would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks
