MrJacques Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 +1, hahaha! unfortunately I have been diagnosed with Morewood-elitism-titis... I have 2 of the suckers, I love them... but I am now cursed cos I need an XC/trail bike, and a zula is what my heart wants... but a Raleigh Nomad is what my wallet says I can have I'm in a similar situation (except I don't have any Morewoods... yet) Looking for a new xc bike and I've also seen the Nomad, specifically the FS 20. Looks like a nice bike for the price.
MrJacques Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Have a look at the Ghost AMR, now seriously discounted, R15350: http://bbt.3z.co.za/store/products/2011-ghost-amr-5900/ Some nice components on there, but a little heavier than the scott.
Active Monkey Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Any feedback on scott spark 30? And a RRP?
MrJacques Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 BikeRadar gave the Sparks good reviews. I think last years models are discounted to about R24000, so that's maybe a little out of your budget. If weight isn't a problem have a look at the Ghost AMR (link in my previous post). Otherwise, look in the classifieds, you might get lucky and find a scott for a good price.
Iwan Kemp Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Stop f**king around. Just get a Morewood.+1073.47
Tumbleweed Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Local Dealer for Salsa? No dealer as yet, I think, but ngala24 was in talks with them. He has a sweet Spearfish.
ngala24 Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Take off them blinkers and don't be scared to look beyond the mass produced stuff. Like the SALSA Horsethief! If the Horsethief is as good as the spearfish you will love it I love my spearfish
Active Monkey Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Got the scott spark 50 yesterday. Added tubeless... Awesome bike!
