ZION

Have to agree,my friend used to have a boulder and i would always comment how much abuse it took.He did exactly that overtime fork ,brakes & wheelset. He still uses the boulder as his hardtail bike and recently bought a dual sus. Save up for a dual

Ask your chick for some of her sewing glue,helped the tear on my saddle stop spreading http://involvingcolor.com/involvinghome/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Fabric-Glue-for-Roman-Blind.jpg

Isnt it time for the specialized clearance about now,anone have the pricelist .. like this old link http://www.specialized-sa.co.za/pdf/1112_Speicalized_EndOfYear_Bike_WEB.pdf

Ye they just for price reference,you need to decide what you need and want. But at just im over 1.9m i have from xl's to mediums all ride fine all different.. You will be large + but you might have hobbit legs ,im pretty much 1/2legs 1/2 torso so i can get away with a med,if you all legs and same hight as me might not work. My bike for long rides is a XL

Na reign fine 1.88m you big boy.... Just remember take evrything with pinch of salt on here as evryone only knows what theyve dealt with... FRom 20" to 32" they still bicycles and can be ridden

Anthem more XC. Trance allday is what i say..prob best all round bike with even with the stock 120mm if you not that rugged or the reign next up. Trance with 140mm + fork is a pedallers reign x to me , but dont count the anthem out if you might do a 40km + cycle 120mm + upfront

Bored... AM/enduro bit of Dh 2nd hand you say..would of been this if you could of got him to 15k.. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/61149-intense-socom-fro-medium/ some more not bad options https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/61612-giant-anthem-x1/ https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/61595-giant-trance/ https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/61330-2010-specialized-stumpjumper-fsr/ pretty sweet https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/61426-giant-reignx-large/

You should be able to get a Brand NEW trance x3 for around 15k..use other 5k or 10k too sort out better fork and wheelset (idk if you had 24k to spend ?). Thats the way forward i rekon... unless you want to go large and get 15k frame +xtras.Which will be better once off. But ive seen more then 1 person hook up a trance 2011 + for under 9k so no need to settle for that spez and that geom is like most dual suspesions nowadays. But ya i wouldnt buy that spaz unless its about 7k or less

Guys are really pushing the boundaries nowadays,they make it look so easy we forget how hard the things they do are and how dangerous they really are. Live each day.. healing vibez

Thats f(*%%ing hardball heal up vetseun

Never knew a 2nd hand bike was worth so much ..............

Pretty sure he lives and sleeps @ pwc & on his bike

Just like sk8ing,bmxing or surfing,those with better skills see more lines.... ones you never even thought of B)
