Zaskar09 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hi all, I've recently decided to buy a road bike (yes, I'll keep the mtb). Unfortunately I know even less about road bikes and components etc than I do about mountainbikes. Would this be considered a good deal and if not, what else can I have a look at? Budget around R10k. Thanks!

Andre 77 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 personally I think what silverback is bang for buck
Zaskar09 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 I haven't been looking for very long but this seems to be the best deal I could find. I don't really want to buy 2nd hand, I know it's dumb but there's just something about a new bike. Almost like that new car smell.
timdm Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Zaskar09, did you settle on the Silverback? Any feedback?Am in a similar position and difficulty deciding on a +- R10k road bike.Also looking at 2011 Merida 904, Cannondale CAAD8 tiagra, and now of course the axis AR 30. ?

Riamich Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I think is value for money,I'm buying the Silverback Concept Carbon,You can always upgrade with lighter wheels, etc to reduce overall weight

Longbarn Killer Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Solomons in Pretoria are selling the Fuji Roubaix with very similar spec for R9 999.00, which is a pretty good price.
