  1. I was doing some research and geez there is so much to consider. I'm bound to have regrets later on after my first purchase due to my own ignorance, so here I am. Hoping some insight can help prevent that Hardtail MTB seems appealing. Our local roads are horrible, and there are tons of light off-road paths here along the beach to enjoy. My budget for a used bike is about R8500ish, so I'll be a bit limited I believe. I'm 1.83m tall. Someone said I should look at getting a '29er'? Which bikes would you guys reccommend in this budget for me? I've heard if gravel bikes too but those just sound like road bikrs with thicker tires. Cant imagine that does fantasticly off-the-beaten-path? Thanks for any input!
  2. Hi all. Ive decided to buy a mountain bike for fitness but need some help . Im 194 cm , 120 odd kgs , 39 years old. Mostly want to cycle around farm roads and coastal forests on the KZN North Coast. I dont really know what to look out for , but know that I dont want to buy something heavy which I am not going to enjoy . What should I be looking at getting into this. I realise budget is as long as a piece of string but what should I be looking at if I am just starting off , want something relatively affordable, but dont want something heavy and crap which is going to put me off? Appreciate any advice
