Scorpion44 Posted May 29, 2013 Share I am looking at buying my 1st road bike and part of my research is to compare certain bikes. What would you suggest is the better value for money road bike between: Merida or Silverback? Budget: Between R18K - R25K Thanks Edited May 29, 2013 by Scorpion44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaKiwi Posted May 29, 2013 Share Buy the bike with the best parts (group set), and the frame that fits you better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jensie Posted May 29, 2013 Share I am very happy with my Merida EVO Scultura 905. With New Ultegra and paid R12000 for it. After 2 years still going strong, with racing wheels it weighs under 8kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion44 Posted May 29, 2013 Share i would go for the mtb. I am actually referring to a road bike. I currently have a 2012 full carbon MTB which I am looking to sell to make space for the road bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brogue Posted May 29, 2013 Share You can get a brand new Silverback Space 1 (top of their range) off the floor for R18500, with FULL Ultegra groupset (Merida mixes and matches groupsets) and peace of mind aftersales no-nonsense factory 3yr warranty. http://www.cyclefactory.co.za/Bicycle/road-bikes.html#Road_Silverback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
