Thanks Jan, what bike did you get? Eish man, more options, more confusion... Here's another question, I know you might get good deals at Cajee's or Westdene but heard you should not go there for set-up and service. Is it then worth buying a good deal at these stores and then going to a decent bike shop for set-up and service?

 

O Yeah for sure, those okes are clueless, just get a good price and bounce.

They didnt have my bike (Merida matts lite 1000) in a Large so they ordered it and got it brand new out of the box , same as i would have at any good bike store.

 

Shop around ( use the Bikes and gear page on bicyclings website )

you can search within your price range or by brand )

Btw the Kona above is overpriced for what your getting.

Huh, why ?? Iv'e had good dealings with them

 

Yeah, their sales are a joke though. They never have stock, and if they do, the item will be the wrong size, or at a store that you are not in.

You can also have a look at Solomons, they have a Spring special on at the moment.

Ah, iv'e only bought components from them and cheaper than what CWC offer.

Thanks Jan, how much did you pay for your matts lite?

Please qualify that statement!

Just like I said

- mediocre groupset

- mediocre fork

- nice wheels

 

for that price you can get much better

Yet- the fact that its a 29er it gets some points

A mate of mine will be selling his Large Kona Hei Hei FS 29er, if you want to spend a bit more.
