Bomberman Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I'm looking for a bike that can take a good down hill bash as well as all round riding, enduro bike.The bike I have in mind is a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp 2011 if possible. My budget is about R10 000. New or second hand not a problem, can anybody point me in the right direction?

dirtypot Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.Educate yourself about the prices these bikes go for, and it's easy to spot when something's not right.
Bomberman Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 Found the bikes on the web, so I decided to emailed the seller and got a really nice email from them "showing pics and all the nice specs" I tried to call them, nothing. Got an email today stating that the bikes are still for sale and all they need is my address so that they can do a quote for the delivery. Emailed them back and asked them for there address, wanted to personally pic up my new ride...... still waiting, did some digging and well well not good at all. Just watch out for the company name "AL - JO TRADERS AND SUPPLY"
