Craig8252 Posted March 25, 2015 Share 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.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 26, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 X 2 Posted March 26, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryH Posted March 26, 2015 Share Cannondale is just so solid. I recently got a Trigger, and I am heavy. The quality is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arendoog Posted March 26, 2015 Share Tallboy 2C or LTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonky Posted March 26, 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
