Wow Guys all of you are unbelievable, i feel like a stuck record for continually saying THANK YOU but reality is that there are no words to describe the generosity show but all of you. its amazing to see so many of you are so eager to help a total stranger especially in these financial time we are going through. it just goes to show that the HUB community really is a one of a kind rarity. i just hope that i can do the same for someone else one day. You guys are inspirational.

Holy Moly all of you have left me totally speechless. Thank you to all and everyone involved, this community of the mountain biking fraternity is unbelievable.

Thanks a mil Wayne, i would appreciate it if you could join us on D-Day so to speak. I'm sure Anton wouldn't mind either.

Overeager Post

Just saw a Scott Aspect 70 on gumtree for R2000 but the frame size is to small

without sounding like a chick, i just want to say THANK YOU to all of you that are willing to help.

I Live round 30km from Boksburg in Alberton so its not far at all.

circumference is round 580-590mm

wow guys, i haven't even started mountain biking yet and i'm already blown away by the camaraderie you mtb'er are showing to a newbie.

Thanks Flowta Thanks to you too Jokerman923

in no physical rush, just the emotional one to get out there you know. as for the bargains at LBS's i haven't come across those yet in my area except when talking about the higher end class, all above R15K

Hi Dean so you suggest i should rather be looking at something like this than the Scott or silverback then, why do you say so if i may ask? just need to learn thew reasoning behind these decisions so i can make then for myself in the future.

My budget at the moment is R1000.00 My goals for the time that i will be saving will be to ride at rietvlei with my sons, ride at the dam when we go fishing as there is always plenty of dirt road and paths around, maybe even do the walkerville race next year April i think just to get out there and see what its about and have a base to compare to for when i upgrade. Yes when i upgrade i would like to have saved round 5-7K for something better and more suited for heavy races and stage races etc.

o ok, thanks for all the advice guys, i really appreciate it.

if i wanted to go and say do a race then you would suggest the silvewrback?

So in your opinion, the Silverback is a better buy than the Scott? What is the reasoning behind this so i also know what to look out for in the future?

nice deal, i always seem to miss those types of specials or they bike is never my size

lol, thats classic

No thoughts guys?

ok mso this bike is a no go, what about this Scott Reflex 50, selling price R1000. i no its scratched badly and needs a service, probably new brake cables too, but shocks seem fine, haven't tested the gearing yet though, whats the feeling about this bike?

Thanks for telling my the size to look out for

So general feeling is a resounding NO! Then wait it shall be for me
