1 bike, 2 sets of wheels.... Less hassle Yes is 1kg heavier than a pure road bike but you're spoiled for choice across bike brands these days. I went with the Giant Revolt and the geometry is similar to an endurance bike. I choose between 28c Tyres s or 42x Tyres depending on the ride You can play around with crank blade sizes as well.

lets not move focus now boys... why cant the shop supply the most that they can to show that they have done enough to help... instead you move focus to SAPS... Realistically, did someone just walk in as take a bike? Surely the store should take some ownership around loosing a customers property Yes there is no need to replace the bike as the customer has signed the little piece of paper... Store is still hiding behind that little piece of paper though

Signing a disclaimer is one aspect... Sadly your bike is gone Does the shop not have CCTV footage? Would be interested to know if the staff were investigated? Everyone feels f@k@l until it's their bike that goes missing... Then the thread would read very differently If I was you, make it the cops issue to investigate throughly This won't guarantee your bike back or replaced but hopefully it will make the shop owners a bit more responsible to ensuse better security measures

try this one.... Sportsmans warehouse of all places though https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/polisport-s-mud-guard-c1133799?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvcb02aiZ7AIVkOvtCh1fcA_LEAQYBSABEgI0wfD_BwE

Many stores in the south have a donation box available in store. (ie) Olympic or Crown Cycles bot have these and are affiliated to one other upliftment project

Silverback undoubtedly

Depending on the geometry you pref... Have a look at the Giant Defy Endurance Geometry with hydraulic disc brakes

Giant Revolt Extremely versatile. Doubles quite nicely as a road bike vs gravel grinder. The frame allows for 700x45c tyres as well. I've got a 2nd wheel set for the days I decide to be a bit of a roadie. I see that Giant now offers a wider range to choose from a (Alu and Carbon) in the 2020 models

Rate him even worse!

Silverback Slade Comp... Extremely versatile geometry.

Was also looking at this some time back. Ended up with the new Giant Revolt, very happy with it. At the moment there are only Carbon models available. Not sure if the Alu models will be released in SA Have a look at the Titan range as well. Some really well spec'd options

Currently have the Revolt 2... Very happy with it. Looked at the diverge, Revolt had more clearance for wider tyres Titan is good value for money but approx 2kg heavier (from reading the specs) but makes up of the weight with a great spec of Shimano parts Our of the 3, the Revolts geometry is gravel spec rather than many others that are actually cyclo cross
