Once again, thanks for all the responses. In terms of size, im about 6"2. (approx 90kg). The guy at Cajee's used some funny crotch stick to measure what size frame I would need, and apparently Im looking at a Large size. With regards to my fitness level. Its probably not great, but I will ride every weekend. Will keep checking the classified for something!

Nice one on the Rick Rolled. and thanks for the advice on getting a second hand bike. Will definatley have a look around in the classifieds section. I actually went through to Cajee's Cycle Corner and asked the guy there for an entry level bike. He showed me a GIANT and a SCOTT. They were both +-5500. However, I saw the Nomad Seventy for way less. So thats why I though it would be good to ask questions first before buying junk. If I change my budget to R6000, is there anything worthy out there, in terms of a new bike? What I really should be asking I guess is... What the heck should I be looking out for? As always, thanks for the assitance to my newbie self.

Hi Everyone, SO I've decided Im in the mood for cycling (MTB). Can you maybe recommend a bike that would good for new guy? I saw a NOMAD 70 that was fairly cheap (just under 4k), and was wondering if it was any good or not? Really any advice/ recommendations would be fantastic Thanks, Ric.
