AndreZA Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Nice, congrats and enjoy. It does amaze me that the carbon hardtail is more expensive the the Canaan Team FS.
oclv110 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 I agree,but shopped around and value for money, it was very hard to beat this baby.The GT came in at about R36000 and the Giant very similar.Even on the DS I think the Mongoose is very good value.
Thug Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Very nice indeed !! In terms of value for money, very little can beat the Mongoose in the market at the moment.
Hog_ Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 That is nice!! I'm a bit of a brand-slut when it comes to the Mongoose bikes (Mongeese?) Next on my shopping list is a Teocali, unless there's a big overall on the Canaan frame for 2009.
Overlord Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Very nice indeed.Hope you enjoy the hours of mud rain and everything that goes with on that steed.
Mark Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Rumour has it you nearly fell off down the steps to your house.
epoh Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 It looks very neat. How much is this baby? I am also looking for a mtb hard tail and I been told the Mongoose range is very well priced. Not sure if i want an uber uber mtb bike yet or a cheaper one to just ride for fun as my main focus is on the road. But this bike looks very sweet! Well done with the buy.
paulvs Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 How does the quality of the frame look? I also have this in mind or the Scale 10.
AndreZA Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Epoh, look at the Schwinn aswell. They've got a nice carbon one for about 12k.
oclv110 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 If you know your LBS you get get it around R24k.I had a look at the Schwinn as well. But there was a huge weight and component difference.Stock standard out of the box this weigh in at 9.35 kg including pedals.
