My buddy wants to buy a Dual MTB - sorted thanks

[brad890]

what about looking at the merida range

 

if he wants more of a race bike them maybe the 96 carbon 3000 or the 96 team

 

or if he want more of a trail bike what about the 120 carbon 3000 or 4000?

What about a 96 - 3000-D carbon, well under a 40k budget, awesome value for money!

 

PM if you are interested.

Buy one for R50K and after two months when he decides he doesn't like MTB I will buy it for R30K!

Ok, the short list is: Scott spark 10 @ R49k

 

Is this the bike

 

No, he's not a pro rider, just want quality stuff and enjoy what he rides.

I would throw a Tallboy into the pile of options.

Guys, we are in Cape Town, and it will only make sense to buy local.

 

He will fit a med. but the 29er concept is not for short / small riders i.m.o

 

What type of riding? Sani2 C, Epic, local mtb funrides.

You could do that for R30k. So he wants to be a XC racing snake? How heavy is your buddy?

Mmmmm Pops now you are gonna upset the 29r disciples - cause AM can ride one remember

[Brakkies Sport Fotos]

he is about 73kg and 1.76

 

Oh, nothing about the 29ers, because my daughter on her bmx thinks again my 26ér looks funny.

[rouxtjie]

For that kind of money I dont want a "me too" bike

 

Ibis Mojo SL would be at the top of my list...

[timM]

Giant Anthem 29er, under 30k, then new wheels and stuff, well below 50k!!!

Agreed +1

[covie]

you might get the headset of an ibis mojo for 40k lol, Nope only two choices if you ask me, Morewood Zula or a Santa Cruze. Scot giant trek all fun but zula and santa be legend.

Cannondale Carbon Scalpel 2 - go lefty 'nuff said...

You should be able to slap one together for 50k i reckon, where is the crow, he'll know, but ja a zula(loving mine btw) or a santa cruz blur will be nice

For R40k he can get a CUBE AMS Super HPC Race

Great value for money and also stands out in a crowd.
