Pieter1 Posted November 15, 2012 Share I don't think I'll buy from an LBS that stole my old bike...was thinking the same thing. I'd go for the Silverback. I had a Ventura and it was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandH Posted November 15, 2012 Share Have a look at Hotspot Cycles. They stole our bikes and we bought 2012 Scotts for very good price there! I'm in the 7th heaven! Got them now for 2 weeks, rode my first race with them last weekend! Huh????? I wonder who they stole the Scotts from then & no wonder you got a very good price...

Skubarra Posted November 15, 2012 Share Personally I'd go for the better specs as opposed to the big brand. Also worth checking out the SB Spectra 3 - only slightly more expensive than the Alpine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Pollard Posted November 15, 2012 Share My first bicycle was the Silverback Ventura, and I have had no problems with it. Forget about the sticker on the bike and buy the best specked one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted November 15, 2012 Share What is the best price I can expect to negotiate on the Spectra 3 and be happy with to settle for it? I used the cyclefactory website as rough guideline for price when I went bikeshopping earlier this year. They advertise the Spectra 3 at R7,500 ( and the Alpine 1 at R7,100) which imo means you shouldn't pay more than R7k for the Spectra and might even get it for less if your shop are clearing 2012 stock for the 2013 range. Good luck with the decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone_Ranger Posted December 6, 2012 Share My first bike was a Silverback. Gave me a good five years, and I still keep it as my back up bike. Really good value for money. I've since moved on to a Scott Scale, which is totally awesome. IMHO, I reckon if you spending more than R10k look at the Scott range, less than that you probably better off with the Silverback range. When I bought the Scott I was seriously considering the Silverback Spectra, but then I got a surprise boost to the the budget . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
