I'd rather say, stay clear of the RSA 29'er dumb down scott specialized mindset... Thats the whole idea of enduro is it not? Im not riding with the extra 160mm just to go fast on a jeep track;) On another note, what is this amarider thing, want to go ride, but dont ussualy race or know the etiquette. I just usually ride, but this looks fun. Can you get tags there, or how does this work?

Maybe bike fell of bike rack, while in transport, not build up yet.

Another de vinci

Hopes, if they're too expensive, just buy a rear brake. Hope rear brake still better the a full set of other gemors.

Looks even better dirty

Spank rims.. Not the hubs;) Hope floating rotors are 6 bolt! If you want the best brakes to go with strongest wheels, lol

Strongest wheels weight no prob. Rim: Spank stiffy 40, im a big Spank convert, only rims i'll buy http://spank-ind.com/index.php?a=info&do=pro&id=4&tid=4 Hubs, dont know what to pick here. Saint? I like my nukeproof generators though.

Leave carbon and Alu for XC, SS is about riding something different.

Of those 3 the scott looks the best specced, previous model parts, but still very good That xtc team is old The terrago is entry entry level, and would be looking to upgrade within week.

Wheelsize and brand might be irrelevant, but frame size will surely matter;) im about as big as you, also just over 100kg. Try and find a medium bike. Should be able to find some nice 26" hardtails, under the hardtail category under complete bikes in classifieds. Look for something that has Slx, Xt, sram X7 or X9 parts. And then you go look at the bike. Even with an untrained eye you can see if the bike was looked after or abused. Choose the looked after one!

As long as its steel or titanium.... Or bamboo,lol

just arrest the guy with white crocs... not because of the bike he's riding, lol

Alu better resale, cheaper initially and people aren't as reluctant to buy. Carbon, expensive initially and people worried about cracks etc. Steel, now that is the question you should be asking;)

1st initiation right for home maintenance... put finger in disc rotor and spin, lol For those with less common sense, do not do it, its a joke, but happens to best of us (sometimes more than once,haha)

a bmx, not every one wants to be XC

Too rule them all http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/nicolai/825639d1377087452-nicolai-2014-product-range-argon-am.jpg

Smells like time for a upgrade haha. R865 is halfway to a decent set of Discbrakes. But think that could be fixed by someone who has that tool(dont think bicycle shops carry those tools), at least wort a try.

Sacrilege!! Hopes without braided hoses should be classified as illegal. Like putting TSW mags on your Lamborghini, haha

Hopes are the best... 3 pages in and already looks like a bike porn thread, lol

Been doing some research and found few other options. Does anyone have experience buying from China and the east? even better know of some shops, or know the ones I linked. Mind set on 24", and in the eastern shops they have some sweet deals, but when it comes to that side of the world, I have no experience. These guys seems to get decent ratings: http://topgears.ecrater.com/c/897344/complete-bikes The other: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/CZAR-ECHO-2012-model-24-street-bike-in-stocks/906998_890692630.html 2 bikes which looks pretty sweet http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/640789812_2/2012-new-model-ECHO-czar-24-T1-Complete-street-Bike.jpg http://s.ecrater.com/stores/125221/5097db320cd80_125221b.jpg

Dis as mens uit stellenbosch ry somerset wes toe, oorkant die stellenbosch golfbaan se ingaan draai jy links, dan hou mens aan met daai pad, tot by sirkel. By sirkel links, dan teen bult op tot heel bo. Daar sal die hek wees waar mens kan ingaan. Die bos nie in so goeie fietsry shape op die oomblik, maar nog baie lekker vir stap. As mens die dag krag het kan mens oorklim Jonkershoek toe. jammer, nie gewoonlik op so rant, ma het vandag amper my dinges gesien... Haha. Gelukkig was ek stadiger, want weet da dalk bome ini pad (van houtkappers)

Ja nee daai jumps was wreed, haha.. maar darm het ons niemand se lines op gebreek, mag dalk wel paar stappers unhappy gemaak het. Ma nou eers die felling uitwag voor mens iets ini berg aan pak.

LOL, guess you have no idea who I am. Ive been riding/building in Eden the last 15years, know that place like the back of my hand... Half the trails there have had my hand in it.

Hou op wat jy doen. Om 'n Stompe met skerp takke in 'n vinnige singletrack tegooi om mense op jou eie tjol paadjie te re-direk is gevaarlik. Nie net dit, jou paadjie is aan gewys met skerp takke wat langs die kant uitsteek!! Jy het geen idee van trail bou of die spoed wat mens dra op 'n singletrack. As jy so graag wil bou, kontak my. Hoop hierdie boodskap beryk jou cyka (russies).
