Which one?

[bontie]

So I am about to buy a new MTB.

I was dead set on a Scalpel 29er 2, and would not cater the thought of another bike.

 

But I have had a rational moment and realised that I would probably use the bike 15-20 rides a year only. So is it worth it to spend about R40k on a bike which will see so little use?

 

The easy answer is obviously to trim that down to a Flash 29er 2/3 then, which is a wad of cash cheaper, and still quite capable, I bet.

 

But then to mix things up a bit I stumbled onto this - http://www.canyon.com/_uk/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=2547

 

at about R20k for a complete bike, with pretty reaonable spec...

 

Oh and of course there are the niners, saw and held a Jet9 RDO on the weekend, wow!

 

Which one do you reckon I should go for?

Take the Scalpel! Otherwise you'll always wonder!

What car do you drive?

Canyon is a good specced bike and i have seen many on the trails.

Just remember import duties on a complete bike is high.

I don't own a car, but why do you ask?
