Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Saturn is a Hardtail... so that doesn't qualify. Try looking at obike.co.za for some deals on full sussers. For 8k, you're not going to be getting anything that's looking at shedding a few pounds.
Pieter1 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Im no silverback rep but let him have a look at their range... Think he might be able to get the spectra. It weighs like 11.5 kg... Edited July 3, 2011 by Pieter1

ljor Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Also try 2011 GT Avalanche 1.0, costs R7995. I have no idea on the weight though.
Dubber88 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Im no silverback rep but let him have a look at their range... Think he might be able to get the spectra. It weighs like 11.5 kg... +1 on the Spectra, Weight is something like 11.5kg's straight out of the box. Nice wheelset, with red sealed hubs and decent groupset parts. Recon Gold is also not bad at all. Best bang for buck IMO. If you know how to maintain and service your bike properly, this bike will run like a dream. If I had to start again from scratch and know what I know now, I would definitely get myself one of those, no questions asked. Edited July 3, 2011 by Dubber88
dre Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Spectra is about 10k But definately Silverback, the groupsets is the best in that price category.
Eugene Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 check the Fuji's on www.solomons.co.za They are damn good bikes and the prices are givaway.
SCHWINN LOVER Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Schwinn MOAB Elite about R6500.00 if you can find one,stunning bike for the price!!Give Henbar a call at Cycle Teknix 021 556 8207,you will not be sorry.
chris_w_65 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Im no silverback rep but let him have a look at their range... Think he might be able to get the spectra. It weighs like 11.5 kg... I sold mine and I really miss it
Pieter1 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 The spectra is a really good looking bike! Its a pitty you had to let it go. I got myself a ventura, it's also freakin awsome! Heed I have no idea what it costs. The dude I bought my bike from was willing to give it to me for R8500 but he had it on special... P.s my ventura is XL and it wieghs 12.5kgs.
