NAV007 Posted March 19, 2012 Share A friend of mine has a budget of R50K and is looking to buy a Hardtail 29er. What bikes should he be looking at? He has already seen the Scott Scale and the Giant XTC, Cannondale Flash and Specialised hardtail 29er's were too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andretraut Posted March 19, 2012 Share A guy with R50K in his pocket should know exactly what he wants! Not knowing, makes me want to suggest an entry level bike to try out the sport. If he is already a hardcore mountain biker, and still don't know what to get, I also suggest an entry level bike. Caerus and Noneking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAV007 Posted March 19, 2012 Share My friend already owns a GT carbon pro (2010), he has a old XTC (old!!!) which he spends most the the time riding, but would like to upgrade the xtc hence a hardtail. Reason he is asking the question is besides, Scott and the usual suspects what else is available? Just because someone has money does not necessarily mean they spend appropriatleyhence why tyhey seek some advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already seen the Scott Scale and the Giant XTC, Cannondale Flash and Specialised hardtail 29er's were too expensive. There is more than one bike in each brand's range.Get the next one down if the top bike is too expensive.

D Vader Posted March 19, 2012 Share Why not build your own bike up.In this price range you should be able to build something really fantasticHere are some excellent frames, then just add your groupset and fork of choice ( I'd suggest a SID 2012 29er ).Santa Cruz HighballLynskey ( Ti)SolisCUBEÂ Imagination is the only limit with this budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
