Lucky Fish Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Please help me. I need some advice if this bike is a good deal at R12 k? I have no experience with Specialized bikes. I have no information on year model - only the pictures. The bikes feels a bit heavy compared to my Scott Spark and I don't want to waste my money. Thanks. Johan Vermeulen
Josh0 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Looks like a 2010/11 model. It has decent spec, and the Stumpies are great bikes. I can vouch for that, I have a 2013 model. It is much more trail orientated than your Spark though. The Stumpy has 140mm of travel front and back and a 68 deg head angle. That means that is will be loads of fun on the trails. I can't see the condition of the components, so I will rather have your LBS check it out before you can say if the price is legit or not. Nevertheless R12K is not bad for that bike. Good luck PS. That bike in pics is not Carbon mate.
Cat2forLife Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Unless it's free, you will always waste your money if you buy a Spaz EDIT: And ja, that guys taking you for a ride.. You can clearly see the welds at the lugs.

I tried to get it free, as you suggested, but the owner just would not budge. Regards. Johan
Lucky Fish Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Gongrats Lucky Many happy miles and big smiles! Josh. I can't wait for the weekend. I am going to hurt myself with an intense workout on the new bike. LOL.
