Advice needed on new bike

[Romulus]

I'm looking for a 29er hard tail for R14 000 or under.

 

I'm considering the following bikes and need your advice:

 

1. Silverback Vida 2

2. GT Zaskar 9er Elite

3. Momsen AL529

4. Scott Scale Elite 29er

Have you looked at the Merida Big Nine 900?

Awesome value for money and if you add a tubeless conversion with tubeless tires, you should get that for R14k or just under (for the 2013 model)

 

XT Rear Derailure

SLX Crank, Shifters and Front Derailure

Manitou Tower Expert Air Fork

I think the big 9 is about R10k

I think the big 9 is about R10k

 

The Big Nine 500, yes .... not the same spec as the 900 above

[Tankman]

Big Nine 900 - 2012 - R11999

Big Nine 900 - 2013 - R12 999

Pity you not in Jhb, you could get a 2012 Fuji Tahoe 1.0 (XT front/rear derailers and shifters, Reba RLT 100mm with remote lockout, WTB Laser Disk wheels 15mm thru axle) for under R10 000.00, The tyres are not tubeless so add another +/- R1200 for tubeless tyres.
