Caerus Posted March 15, 2012 Share Really cant afford more than R5k but would look at nothing more than R6k. If you can get this for 6K it would be a fantastic bike. Try sell a kidney if need be Edited March 15, 2012 by Caerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Message the person about the GT, see what they say. Eat baked beans for a month, or just bread and water. maybe you can come to some sort of deal. you can only ask. Shoes can come later if need be.

Jurgens Van Eeden Posted March 16, 2012 Share Think I'm gonna go for the Merida. It seems like a good bike. And I dont wanna break the bank on my first bike. Thanks for all the advice. Really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, no probs. Just check if its a 8 or 9 speed, you don't really want to be buying an 8 speed. Its. Otherwise its a decent bike, what year and model is it. Also bear in mind it is better to spend more in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowellingWulf Posted March 16, 2012 Share Offer the oke with the GT R4k (maybe R5k at most). He can only say no. Rather spend a little more than initially anticipated lest you are planning on upgrading in a year or two. Friend of mine is buying a Commencal for R12600 off the Hub, pricing on the bike started off at R19000 a couple of weeks ago. Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted March 16, 2012 Share Don't rush into the purchase, take your time, and do more searching. The right bike at the right price will come along. Don't be scared to haggle with people on price. A lot of people will over value their bikes. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
