Karin Posted April 17, 2014 Share My 16 yo son recently lost his MTB. He is desperately looking for a new one and was promised a good deal for R5 000. He has saved, sold and begged and now has R5000 but the promised bike never materialized. Should've know the offer was too good to be true. He is a VERY keen mountainbiker and needs to ride. He is quite tall and stocky and will need a large and not a dainty bike. Unfortunately I do not have any extra money to put towards the bicycle. Does anyone know of or have a second hand bicycle we can have for R5 000? He is very serious about cycling and even has aspiration to go pro after school.

marko35s Posted April 17, 2014 Share Quite a few in the classified section, maybe start with this one - https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/85430-cannondale-mtn-bike/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karin Posted April 19, 2014 Share Thank you everyone. Unfortunately none of the bikes in the classifieds were suitable, either too small, too far or not strong enough (my child is build like a 1st team Rugby lock instead of a cyclist - and growing). The good guys at Cycle Lab worked out something for us and he should be getting his new bicycle by the middle of this week!

bullet77 Posted April 20, 2014 Share What's he getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karin Posted April 20, 2014 Share What's he getting? A Scott Scale 960 and a weekend/holiday job to make up the difference between the R5k he has and what we need to pay for the bike!!! He's very excited. The guys at the shop knows him quite well and has trained with him and agreed that he cannot get onto a entry level bicycle. Magalies Monster here we come!! It's his 3rd and last of the short route. Next year he's 17 and then he wants to pack the "real" Monster. Mads and gwhite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
