Guest Travis. Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I'm looking for a 120mm+ travel 29er. What is available as a complete mtb? All I've found so far is the GT Sensor and the Trek Rumblefish. There a are few frames available, but once you've built one up, my budget's been stretched way too far. Budget is about R25k. Please give me some options if you know if any.

Pronutro Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 But they said have cookies... We do, and they are bigger
banna Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 We do, and they are bigger Good afternoon satan.
DJR Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 All out of budget though.Is it perhaps saying something about value for money/hype?
Guest Travis. Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Is it perhaps saying something about value for money/hype? It might, however those are mostly framekits that you have to build up. And if I'm not mistaken, even a 26" would also be mostly above my budget.
Guest Travis. Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Ok, so it doesn't seem that there are too many available And I can't seem to find any pricing and buying info on the Kona. Anyhow, I'd have to decide between the Rumblefish and the Sensor. But (there's always one, isn't it?) I can't seem to get the Momsen Dual link 6/7 out of my mind - I know they're not 120, but damn, they are pretty! Any suggestions as to what I should do, I'm as confused as a little boy in front of the sweets counter

lloydkayak Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 The new Giant Trance 29er 1 will come in at your budget.Very nice spec for the price and reviews seem very positive...
DJR Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Is it perhaps saying something about value for money/hype?I've had a look recently at the Giant Trance 29er and it looks like really attractive, capable bike at a great price. With a mix of SLX and XT components, dropper seatpost and Giant wheels it sells for about R23000. Locally they only bring in 1 spec level, which is good enough to ride and never upgrade, but if you want to make it lighter, it will be worth upgrading things like wheels.
