shade Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Momsen & Silverback are best value ! (if it helps, the Silverback Storm won Bike of The Year in Austria ! )
Guest Latent Blue Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Anyone of these three. If it was me id go for the Cannondale... But that's just me +1000 on the 'dale BogusOne 1
shadow1 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Based on what you want to spend, I was in a similar boat 4 weeks ago and what I ended up doing was hunt for a really good 2nd hand 29er. I ended up with a Specialized Epic Expert Carbon Just wanted to put that thought out there because you can a fantastic bike and allow the first owner to have taken the big price knock.Consider it

Oh and it's not just carbon, any 2nd bike is a gamble, just check it out properly is all I'm saying.Most manufacturers don't transfer warranties so its a R25k+ gamble.That being said you could get an awesome machine for that cash, or less, from Booth perhaps. Good reviews, good service and it includes a service plan.Just adding another option to mess with your brain. Enjoy. Edited June 26, 2013 by sk27 TopFuel 1
