Full Suspension Bike - R30K Budget

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Unless of course, you just bite the bullet and get the frame combo and build it up over time. No more wife is a good thing in some respects, innit?

Mark - just a heads up. No way you'll get a full santa build for less than 30k unfortunately. Their frame and shock alone comes to more than 20k. Then there's the fork et al. Unless you port parts over.. even then it'll be a stretch.

Something may be happening behind the scenes with regard to the Cruz Will see how it pans out, just worried about warranties now more then anything. After seeing that Stumpie, and chatting to the guys at Cyclefunatic I may just be able to come in at slightly over R30k, only the fork is a let down

Get the Santa Cruz.

Sell a kidney

Get the Santa Cruz.

Sell a kidney

Not sure anyone would want one of my kidneys though If I've got to stretch the budget a little bit and live on cans of bully beef, so be it

So, been given an amazing price on the Trance, with an upgrade to Stans wheelset, XT Brakes, Crankset & Rear Derailler for just over 30K, looks like I will be able to keep a kidney
