Wez-O Posted June 11, 2013 Share New Momsen AL529The more I read about this South African brand, the more I think that they are the way to go when it comes to value for money. They also have Crest wheels which are far better/lighter than other brands OEM wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wimmas Posted June 11, 2013 Share I would not buy a secondhand carbon bike. They tend to crack from the inside out - so you buy a carbon secondhand now, 3 months down the line you see a crack and wonder where it came from and it's likely that it's a problem that occured while the previous owner was in possession of the bike. Fish around for the best specced bike you can possibly find and don't buy from the first bike shop you walk into, their prices vary and could vary a lot. Look for the cheapest. I woul look at the Momsen AL529 - it's got tubless tyres which will save you R1400, it's got a great fork, does not weigh too much and is great value for money. The Silverback Vida 1 is also great value for money, alooy frame and weighs around 11.3kg. Maybe also look at the Merida Big Nine XT. Your choice Good luck Older 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terenceriley Posted June 11, 2013 Share Does anyone know what the XTC 0 29er weights? Not 100% sure what the bike weighs, but I have one and it is light, it is also an outstanding ride, well worth 16k. Think the recommended retail on this is 20K+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smolly Posted June 11, 2013 Share Get a Slade 1. Smaller wheels, but good specs. Mine weighs in at 11 kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted June 11, 2013 Share I am a medium :-( ohhhh... and there is a nice xtc on gumtree unridden and R12K but that's a large. I was looking for a small / medium second hand 9er not that long ago and believe me, circus dwarfs (5'8") don't get much of a look in SA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
