Did I do the right thing?

Once you get the new steed, this one will still serve you well as a "lets try that rocky section where we know we gonna fall" option. And the wife/girlfriend/buddy can tag along on it when you go to groenies. welcome and enjoy!

Started out on Comp just like that(just Black) and it went everywhere , did some 30 km's and even a 42 km race around stellenbosch , Nice entry level Bike , dont upgrade and save up for the new bike, newer tech has become much more affordable, Consider dual sussy , I swopped my Comp for a Scott Spark , Man what a ride.....

Can I suggest one small upgrade?

 

Rear derailleur.

 

That little thing can be the difference between really enjoying your bike and the start of a lot of irritation/frustration. For me, silky smooth gear changes just make all the difference. Minimum SLX (preferably XT). It will be the best R500 you ever spent.

Edit: might cost a little more than R500 coz I'm not sure if you'd have to change the shifter as well (and cable). Maybe someone else more technically minded can comment on that.

Dont upgrade, rather buy a better spec"d bike later
