There is a medium Santa cruz Highball in the Classifieds section on the Hub, I do not think you could find a better bike for that price.

Just do a search on the classifieds for 650 not like there's gonna be tones of them, after that get a cup of coffee and start with the 9ers...

 

Great problem to have.

And I have already searched the forums for things such as 29 and 650 ...

Get a Scott Spark 940 brand new - go ride the crap out of it and never look back

See "Scott Spark 29" Epic Failure" You mean "go ride the crap out of it and walk back"

That is not the only thread complaining about Scott. There are plenty others. My Scott has given me years of good service, but considering the bad experiences of Hubbers and Scott's poor after sales, I would not recommend them.

Hi guys

 

I have a simalar question.

 

I am fairly new to this, I ride currently a Meridia 29er hardtail, but want to upgrade to a full suspension, and am looking at a Specialized or Rocky Mountain. My budget is max R30k. Most of my riding is social and enduro, single track type riding

 

What will you guys recconmend?

To the op:

 

Look at the merida big seven 1500 lite. Very well specced bike for around 19 to 20k ( after december price increase) you will have some change for a wheel upgrade or other bling bits. Keep in mind this is a hardtail.
