What about the Scott Scale I saw a really good price on . Long Tom Cycles had a really good price on them.

Looks wise, the silverback is much better !!!

 

I saw 3 of the Giants on the weekend and just don't like a bike pimped out in blue. I first thought the owner had done it himself (I won't say what I tought of him at that point), but then after seeing 2 more, I realised that is how they are.

I thought the same thing - kept thinking I was seeing the same guy on his pimped out Giant 29er all over the place. Until I saw two of them together.

 

So glad Giant has joined the 29er trend - every second person has a Niner and I was beginning to think the that Niner was the new Giant.

 

Back to the topic - value for money I'd go for the Silverback. If you don't like riding the Silverback because of the name, buy the Silverback and a frame of your choice and you'll still come in cheaper than the Giant. (You could go one step further - get the Silverback hardtail 29er for R15000, and your frame of choice.)

yeah Giant got it wrong with the chrome frame finish - that is like so 1980s

 

The carbon look is the in fashion now.

something about the angle of the rear shock doesnt look right to me on the Silverback?

Angle looks similiar to Gary Fishers.

So now it's up to giant 29er vs specialized epic comp 29er.
