ruib Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hi, I had to choose between the 800 and 1000 2 weeks ago and did my homework , and ended up buying the 1000 for R2000 extra , but it was worth is, very happy with my choice.go check and compare the 800 and 1000 on the merida website.The big diff is the frame witch is a bit lighter , but there are some other differences.But is the amount diff is to high , the 800 is also a good buy, the prices have come down.
ruib Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hi deandejagerWhich LBS are you buying from? , as I am also in Potch
Deandejager Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Hi deandejagerWhich LBS are you buying from? , as I am also in Potch Park cycles. Do you think i could get the 1000 for under 10k? and what do you think about the Fork??

andretraut Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the advice. What is your opinion on the fork??Nothing wrong with the fork. Merida package a good deal, and would not fit crappy stuff. Not a World Cup fork, but well suited for every day mtbiking, and racing at entry level.

Klaus Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Good value bike - Bought when I replaced my last bike and haven't had any problems ! Good for the weekend racer
kolobe Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I saw the same bike at Trinity Cycles yesterday for under R6000. They have plenty in stock. Very good selling bike. Trinity is in Hartbeespoort , Melodie i think.
