I hear good things about Melo Velo in your neck of the woods. If you were in PTA I would offer to resolve any and all bike related issues free of charge. Unless you want to drive through

I don't really get what the problem is, item was advertised, the OP sold it and got his / her funds and the parcel was sent off to the recipient. Sounds like a normal transaction to me

There's your problem

Do you have a picture of the ones you do have

Upgrade her to a set of 29ers. The frame will be able to accommodate it. I do have a set of Sun Ringle Helix here with me

Mine is a bit of a franken bike. It's a brand new old stock Commencal 26er MTB frame with a old road 105 crank (53/38 or something like that) with a 11 speed config at the rear. I added a very cheap oil filled fork (think it was R400 back in the day). The front wheel is an old A-Class 26er wheel (Rim brake)

2012 model https://www.specialized.com/za/en/camber-29/p/36178?color=80562-36178&searchText=9322-7302 Depending on the service history of the fork and shock as well as the drive train I will venture a guess of between 12 - 15k

I have brakes as well

I will gift you some 10 speed stuff to get you going

Something like this: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bike-frames/600965/titanium-mtb-frame-fork Saw this ad for the first time pre-COVID and the price has remained the same since the first time it was listed

Use an 11 speed cassette

I believe a normal BB tool will work

Is it a round one?

https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/792032/trek-fuel-ex this looks to me like a great deal. I also have some on offer but this one will be better than what I can offer
