Newboy Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I am currently riding a SC Tallboy and still believe it is the best bike out there. I am looking to get a 29 er hard tail. There is many reasons why I want to do this. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced bike with fairly relaxed geometry? The serious stuff will be on my TB.
niterider Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 How relaxed you looking for? Here's a few options, more-or-less in increasing order of relaxedness http://www.santacruzbicycles.com/highballhttp://www.cannondale.com/2013/bikes/mountain/hardtail/trail-sl/trail-sl-3http://www.trekbikes.com/za/en/bikes/mountain/cross_country/superfly/superfly_al_elitehttp://bansheebikes.com/paradoxhttp://www.diamondback.com/mason-mountain-29er

Cav' Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 R10 - R15 k.OK, look at a decently spec'd Silverback/Titan/Merida if new.Other wise look second hand for a nice deal (I'd do that) SaKiwi 1
Ryanpmb Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 2kgs+ for the Banshee frame. Yikes! Diamondback looks fun.
Newboy Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 How would you rate the Momsen bikes? I can get a carbon frame, full XT, Fox for R18k. kvdp 1

PeterF Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 How would you rate the Momsen bikes? I can get a carbon frame, full XT, Fox for R18k. The carbon Momsen's are race machines. Definitely do not have relaxed geometries.
