Stringy Posted September 25, 2012 Share I can get the following: http://www.silverbacklab.com/2011_website_SILVERBACK/alpine1.htm For about R6500 new. The components seem very decent for the money.What would be the limits of that bike? Obviously I am not going to take it toa downhill track, but should the frame stand up to some singletrack withsome roots and rocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted September 25, 2012 Share Nothing wrong with that bike in my opinion and the price seems reasonable.Depending on where you ride and how you ride, you may want to change those tyres though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted September 25, 2012 Share The biggest limit would be the rider. It's never about the bike and always about the rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer4Recovery Posted September 25, 2012 Share My brother bought the same one a few weeks back. Awesome ride for an entry level bike. Good quality frame & components. This bike will most prob last quite a number of years. Tyres maybe changed for better grip if you find that you need it. I agree with the replies above - the bike and frame can handle much more than the rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stringy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Thanks for the replies. Well, I just wanted to know if the frame itself is decent. Don't want it to snap or something if I ride over a root, but I guess you need to go very cheap before you get a frame like that. FuelEX: Do you know what the width of those rims are? I think I will fit somenobbly tyres to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp!ke Posted September 25, 2012 Share I know someone who bought one recently and he loves it. Good components for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
