marsbeetle Posted June 14, 2012 Share Hi People, My first post here.. I'm on a quest to find a long travel(at least 5inches) trail/all mountain 29er and live in Plumstead, Cape Town. I had my eye initially on a Giant Trance X0 but would prefer a 29er. If I can't find a suitable trail 29er I'll wait and see if Giant release a Trance in a 29 for 2013 which I've heard they most likely will. I'm 6ft 2(188cm) with lanky arms so looking for a XL and my price range is from 30 - 40k. I did a search around the forum and saw the Santa Cruz Tallboy LT which I really like. Does anyone know what these bikes go for here in SA and who would be the best people to speak to about them in my region ? Any suggestions would be grateful. Many thanks.

splat Posted June 14, 2012 Share Have you looked at the Pyga OneTen29? http://www.pygaindus...bikes/oneten29/ 120mm front travel110mm rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsbeetle Posted June 14, 2012 Share @karma that might be a reasonable choice, thanks. Looks a little heavy though, can't seem to find any reviews ? @splat I saw the pyga yes and read about it but that rear sus is a little too low for my liking as I enjoy the technical stuff I'm worried it will bottom out a lot with my 96kg weight. From what I heard it's quite a stiff ride too but may be mistaken. The fact that it's made locally is quite appealing to me but wish it had more travel on the rear. Thanks.

Guest Posted June 14, 2012 Share I have the 2011 GT 9er Pro - excellent bike. not much heavier than other full sus 29ers.lovely trail bike. ultra comfortable, wannabe-downhill bike, that takes anything you throw at it. be happy to give you a ride if you want to. Edit: Just fly up to Sandton. :-P Edited June 14, 2012 by Karma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zook Posted June 14, 2012 Share Pricy, but you might just want to test the 29er Spec Stumpjumper. http://www.specialized.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/stumpjumperfsr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Rocky Mountain or Pyga covie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsbeetle Posted June 14, 2012 Share Hmm.. that Cube AMS 29 Race ticks all the right boxes except maybe the 3x10(I prefer a 2x10) but that's not a show stopper. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
