Guest Travis. Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Have a look at this:http://www.thesportsbasement.co.za/p/179/trek-21-2012-and-helmet-bundleGreat deal!
Zac.A Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Silverback, you wont be able to lose 340g for R310 at any other point.
OneMac Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Silverback gets my vote. ..... but rather go for their MTB version
twin rings Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 the silverback is better on spec.... but which one grabs you more, which one feels better when you sit on it?? you will want to get up in the early hours and ride a bike you love, not one that you were told is the best.
andretraut Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 The Silverback is a better buy for your buck, and offer better components, however the GT trumps with brand. I will pick the Silverback.
