pauloc Posted March 16, 2011 Share Silverback bikes are usually very good value for money and you should be able to find one in that price range. Can't seem to find any online so you'll need to check with some local bike shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Potgieter Posted March 16, 2011 Share I just bought a Titan Comp. Its made by merida. Here is a pic. Hydraulic Tektro brakes, Suntour Shock. I am really happy with it, I picked it up for R4k brand new from Cajees. The tires are different in real life...they are Maxxis tyres with Alex rims.

SCHWINN LOVER Posted March 16, 2011 Share Merida was my first choice till I saw the Scwinn.Merida is a real looker but the Schwinn has better components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauloc Posted March 17, 2011 Share Also forgot to mention that Obike has some pretty good prices so definitely worth checking them out as well. Edited March 17, 2011 by pauloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUMEYA Posted March 17, 2011 Share If I had a budget of 6k, I would first check the classifieds. Also take someone knowledgeable with you when going to view used bikes. In the 6K range I would take the bike with the best components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted March 17, 2011 Share If I had a budget of 6k, I would first check the classifieds. Also take someone knowledgeable with you when going to view used bikes. In the 6K range I would take the bike with the best components. We can assume this bloke/chick knows nothing about MTB's never mind components .Since I will only allow Shimano equiped bikes into my bike room I can only give you spec levels on that for DT . So you get Alivio - Donno if it is bottom of the range but it is fairly low . Shifters and RD bit dodgy , blades will last forever , heavy .SLX - Value for money , durable , I luv themXT - More expensive , lighter than above .XTR - For race snakes and sponsored riders . Light , don't last . This will be for you drive Train . The same goes for the brakes but the other products I have tested worked just as well Shocks you need to give the hubbers a list of whats on the bikes and they will tell you . Rims - they can ALL bemade tubeless so it not an issue . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
