Craig8252 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Hi all In the market for a new mountain bike. Mainly do the local marathons, stage races like sani, Sabie and j2c. Had a tallboy that was stolen. My price range is between R60k and R75k. What would you guys suggest? Thinking about the momsen vipa team addition or the cannondale scalpel 1.
MaxTBehrens Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Are you more keen on hardtail or dual suspension?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Specialized Epic. There is a reason there are so many of them that do the Epic!!Yep. Hype & Marketing. I'd go Vipa with a 120mm fork. Just like the one Iwan had.
2 X 2 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 You can alway buy 2 or 3 bikes for that price and keep two stashed away for later. That way you won't have to buy again for the next 10 years.
Long Wheel Base Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Specialized Epic. There is a reason there are so many of them that do the Epic!!And won both the men's and ladies race!! (yes I know the ladies where on a ERA but technically its the same)
BarryH Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Cannondale is just so solid. I recently got a Trigger, and I am heavy. The quality is great.
nonky Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Spez Camber - good for racing, trails and enduro. For R75k, you can look at the Camber Expert Carbon Evo. Of course, you will pick up a lot of flack for riding the BEST bike but so what?
