MTB What To Buy For 20k

[the SWEATY BASTARD]

Go Momsen 29er "loop soos stroop"

[Trivium]

Look for a second hand bike! They are much cheaper!

You can really get a steal if you keep looking!

You mean facetious unless you meant faecetious which would translate roughly as "*** funny"

Haha. An unintentional spelling fail.

There you go. Won't cost you R500 to ship it to Durban.

 

Get the seller to make the deal through a local bike shop. They inspect and box it up for you and you pay the seller. Once the seller is happy the shop couriers the bike to you.

as someone earlier said, the Silverback Storm 1 is one of the best value out there. Full XT, SID RL Shock 10.5 kg with Stan's Crest rims is a very good bike

If you can hold out, and care about the marketing buzz ,the 2013 models are starting to come into the stores. But what this does mean is that you should try haggle for a discount on any 2012 model bike.

I like the look of the momsen AL529 R of the Dual Link 6

Does Anyone have one of these ?

I have an AL529 - im still pretty new to the sport but loving it. Local is lekker! They are well specced and have great wheels!

I should ask the buyer/seller for a beer

[arendoog]

Just seen the 2013 Scott spark 940 29er ds

25k a little out of my budget but it looks awesome.

[Woolf]

Silverback Vida 1. Best all-round deal wrt components and weight. At R16000 you'll have some change for a Go-pro or GPS to record your awesome rides.

Any bike will do, as long as you ride the life out of it. Riding is what it is all about.Remember buying is the easy part,maintaining it is another matter...

[Stewart69uk]

Yeah I forgot just how many nooks and cranys a bike has to clean

[Stewart69uk]

O.k Just bought a Momsen AL529 R-type

Loved it.

looked at the scott 29er 940 and the BMC speedfox sf29

but the momsen just suited what I wanted and for under 20k also got a Garmin 800 that everyone seems to love

now can't wait for the weekend to get a good run out on it

thanks for advice everyone
