El Dodgius Bastardo Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Have a look at the GT Karakoram, pretty decent bike
dirtcrazy Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 hi - i can get the spez carve comp 29er vor R11500 ... what do you guys think?
ramsew Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 geez that Focus is nice.... check this out maybe/possibly/why not: http://www.axis-bike...dtail/a-10-29ernot bad spec for the money!
El Dodgius Bastardo Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 The Spez looks nice, not much travel, but the big wheels should help. I'd still go with the GT though
Tankman Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 There is also the Merida Big Nine 900D, with SLX crank, shifters, FD and XT RD for R11500
Jimmyjames Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I guess you could get a new hardtail or a used full sus. I am also training for the San2c and riding a full sus. I have been thinking about switching to a hardtail for Sani though.
tommy two shoes Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 The axis looks like a great deal! If you don't care much for riding a big brand. Is Axis a probike brand?, looks like the same owner.
dirtcrazy Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 There is also the Merida Big Nine 900D, with SLX crank, shifters, FD and XT RD for R11500 hi thank man - if you had to choose between the merida big nine and the spez carve comp 29er - both same price range,,,, which one would you buy?

Tankman Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 hi thank man - if you had to choose between the merida big nine and the spez carve comp 29er - both same price range,,,, which one would you buy?
