Thanks , this helps allot! Getting used to all the terms takes a while , I think I will follow your advice to get the friend to help me! Thanks again

Thanks will keep that in mind.

Thanks, I think I need to go check it out and see it in real life so I can get a feel for whatyou are talking about!

Will do thanks , think I should maybe visit a cycle store to get some advise an see firsthand what they are talking about (it all seems greek to me), can you recomend any in the centurion / pretoria area?

Thanks , I'll look out for that , Ive had a look at some Scott bikes and KTM in stores (new) but that was before a knew what I wanted to spend, geuss I wass stuck on 10years back's prices , was shocked at where prices whent... Has since warmed up to the idea of spending more! I whant to do some riding in the bush over weekends and maybe try the argus at some stage next or the following year, depending on how long it will take to get fit, for now im on the buying , I 'll get to the rest later... For now I'm lokking for something decent to start with , I did some cylcing when at school so I know I will like it , I just dont really know whats out there at the moment.

Nice comments guy , Ill get there thanks.

Would rather stick to off road, not to keen on getting runover, heard the full suspension is much more expensive , but dont really know.. Im just running with advise Ive been given .

Thamks , I have been looking through the classifieds but no luck yet , suppose I should be patient ... Do ypu recon I should look at new bikes rather?

I dont realy know, I am about 1,85 m tall, I don't know too much about what sizes to look for?

Hi there all, I am looking to start mtb-ing and to buy 2nd hand after talking to some friends in the sport. Does anybody have some tips on what to look out for as well as what brands of bikes to look for and what to leave. I dont whant to spend mor than 20K and am looking for a hard tail. Hope you can help, thanks!
