[PRossouw]

I am new to the sport and need some advise on the following bike:

 

Merida Mission 500

 

Specs:

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes

Shimano Deore crank and F/D

SRAM X.9 shifters and R/D

Rock Shox Tora fork

Merida fusion Rear shock

MAXISS UST Tubeless tires

 

Can buy above for R6000

 

1) Is this a good price??

2) Any other recommendations in this price range/slightly above

Thanks
