  1. Now that sounds Ideal to me! wish I had the cash to do so though! I'm not exactly rolling in the pounds...
  2. Hi Hubbers. I'm currently wrestling with a thought. I own a decent (Bianchi mono q, which is on sale already ) roadbike and carbon frame 29er mountain bike. Lately I've been riding my mountain bike a lot more, perhaps due to the fact that the early morning rides are on a low due to the winter chill. Also, I started cycling with mountain biking. Lately, however, I'm wondering If I shouldn't get rid of my road bike and mountain bike and get myself a very nice mountain bike instead. Where I live, the gravel roads are endless and, of course, much safer. On the other hand I am in two minds, because if spring arrives, so does the will to get up early for a quick 35-40k ride. This usually happens with a road bike (which is the main reason I got one to begin with). What would you do? Do you think I will regret not having a road bike? Theo
  3. So So sad! No words!
  4. The 2012 Storm range is probably the best value for money bikes! I did a LOT of research before deciding what bike to upgrade to and the Storm, both 1.0 and 2.0, came highly recommended by just about everyone! Can't wait to get my Storm 2.0. Enjoy the ride.
  5. Hi Guys. Yes the fork is the only drawback, relative to the rest of the specs anyway. But as Cassie said. it's not a entry level fork. The picture I posted does not have the specs listed. I got the Pic of the net and only realized it after I posted. I can get the bike for R7500 NEW at Cajees Cycles Roodepoort (which might also be a drawback??). As I said, I'm not too familiar with Ghost bikes, but with the specs listed it's quite hard to resist.
  6. Thanks for the opinion and advice! sorry, I'm new at this... Appreaciate!
  7. Hi thanks for the reply. yes, like I said, some of the components differ from teh picture posted. Why I don not know, got the pic off the net. (??). The Bike is for me, Im 24 years old and looking to buy. It will be my second bike and I've been riding for about a year This is one of the bikes I can afford. So I'm not looking for a bike only to take a sunday ride. It;s going to work hard. If you don't believe met about the specs, I can take some pictures of the bike and attach them. THe specs listed are the correct ones. I'm sure of that!
  8. And some of the specs are different from the one in the picture. The specs listed are the correct ones!
