Hairy Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Not the longest travel, and I never thought I would ever say this, but I really like this Merida!!! DirtyFrank, Eddy Gordo and BaGearA 3
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Is that the 140? Yeah, the new Merida 120 / 140 / 160 are really good looking (and well reviewed) bikes, and they're coming in at a very decent price point. Eddy Gordo 1
cpelser Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Yeah the new Meridas finally look relevant, just don't know if I can bring myself to like them for some reason, I'd likely buy that and just spray the frame all black, or at least remove the logo.No reason for it, just really don't like Merida - probably because something like their "XT Edition" bikes only ever had XT shifters and RD, which was just annoying.

LOCO4360 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I ride 140mm Trance and love it but having looked an Chainreaction for something else saw these Vitus bikes.... not bad.. eventhough you would pay duties but still not bad. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/vitus-escarpe-mountain-bike-nx-1x11-2019/rp-prod179077 https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/vitus-sommet-mountain-bike-nx-1x11-2019/rp-prod179057
Eddy Gordo Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 we offer a unique frame that is compatible with the three main wheel sizes 27.5 ", 27.5 PLUS or 29" everyone following Guerilla Gravity with frames for different wheelsizes. I will maybe one put 29er wheels on mine, that is when I am gonna sell it
Hairy Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 wonder if 2019 is going to be the year of the fade colour scheme

It is really really awesome. Massive clearance for 29 x 2.6 tires (I have a Maxxis Aggressor 2.5 and it looks like I could fit a 2.8 in!) It seems to pedal pretty well, which surprised me. But I'm waiting for 'new bike syndrome' to wear off before I make too many promises. It built up pretty light for a 150/140 29er I am happy to let you swing a leg over and go for a spin if you're about for Argust weekend. I still need to get to Jonkers for an all day festival of Flow, rock and air time....

Jewbacca Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I still need to do that as well.Shout which weekend suits you!
Eddy Gordo Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Shout which weekend suits you!Sundays are good, if you prepared to lug a fat slow ass around.
Bos Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) At first these bikes looked hideous, but its starting to grow on me. Great riding, this young lady rips! Nice trails though https://www.vitalmtb.com/v/36408?width=780&height=440' Edited March 5, 2019 by Bos Hairy 1
