So im new to mtb, and have been doing recearch into different bike sizes and specs accouring to my budget (R6000 for a complete bike, no accesories) but I still feel im not all clude up to make a descision before I buy. so if someone can help me with a few questions, I would realy appreciate it. First of all my size needs to be taken into consideration as I need to know if you think a 26er or 29 er will best suit me and my needs. I am 24 years old, 1.9m and 90kgs. I want a bike that can do cross country, to ride it on the farm, single tracks, aswell as tarmac and mtb tracks in and around Durbanville/cape town. What makes and models is best for my needs and my budget, and where do I find them? I found that yes second hand bikes are alot cheaper, but with not knowing the sport yet, I dont know what to look for and where, whats a real bargain and whats not. Also the guys see that and then tried to exploid it by trying to sell the bike for far more by adding a few cheap part.pend to stimble upon these bikes that looks fairly good, but please any advice on new or second hand bikes, models, sizes ect will be highly appreciated.
