jarek.pski Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Hi All!! I've been wanting to get a beater MTB, I cannot at this time afford to get one for 20kMy budget is more or less 8k. My question is: is it better to get a used mtb with decent components or a brand new machine with slightly lower specs?What should be the oldest frame and set up I should be looking at? 2005? 2006? Taking into consideration: that the used bike has been more or less serviced and ridden regualarlyAs for the new bike I'm looking at the Merida TFS 500....
lloydkayak Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Check out the Merida 1000D Lite...You can pick it up for between R8500-R9500 at some shops... they have dropped the recommended retailIt is very very nice
