ScottCM Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 I will put R100 towards it and see who else helps out First you need to find out what size you need and then be quick, because bargins dont last. Lol, i'm 1.89m tall, 88cm Inseam, 58-61cm C-T Road bike but what that means for Mtb i dont have a cooking clue.
Stretch Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 trust me...you still dont want that bike..it will just frustrate you. If you just wait a bit and monitor the classifieds you will find something MUCH better for a TINY bit more...
divernick Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I'd ride a road bike on dirt roads before I rode that bike.... gummibear and ChUkKy 2

ScottCM Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks for telling my the size to look out for
Kranswurm Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Sounds like you're looking for a large or X-large.It would be a largeRather buy a sturdy v brake second hand for about 1k plenty about.

ScottCM Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 ok mso this bike is a no go, what about this Scott Reflex 50, selling price R1000. i no its scratched badly and needs a service, probably new brake cables too, but shocks seem fine, haven't tested the gearing yet though, whats the feeling about this bike?
johannrissik Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 No thoughts guys? Certainly a better option than R750 for that other thing.
Mojoman Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 A friend did a ride with me a few years back. He had a similar bike to your first post's picture and I will always remember him grumbling about why is he the only one having to pedal down the hills! Wet Ears 1

NicoBoshoff Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 As a comparison, a month ago I bought the following for R1 500.00 (spent another R450 on it for flat pedals some ESI grips so call it R1950): Mongoose Amasa Pro, SRAM x-7 shifting, Avid Elixer 5, Full tubeless with Purgatory up front and Wolverine at the back, Manitou air fork.
