Malpiet Posted June 21, 2015 Share Buy a good used bike you will get a lot more value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted June 21, 2015 Share Hi Dalton, welcome to The Hub 1. Mountain or road (I assume mountain?) 2. What type of riding do you want to do? Mostly dirt roads or rougher stuff? Racing? Events? 3. What riding experience do you have? 4. How old are you, how fit & healthy? 5. Do you have someone knowledgeable to check out 2nd hand bikes for you?

DJR Posted June 21, 2015 Share I would go for a hardtail bike. 26er or 650B The lighter the better (under 12,5kg if at all possible) SLX or Deore mix components at least Online: Check Chris Willemse (Momsen AL655 and Momsen AL329 both in budget) Check Dial'D Bikes (Various new old stock 26er Commencals at bargains) Not sure about where to shop in your neighbourhood though Giant and Silverback often have some of the best value for money bikes on the market. All the well known brands build solid hardtails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickjay007 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Hi Dalton, I agree with DJR regarding the components and specs. I'd go look at the following sites: www.dialdbikes.co.za - For new slightly older model bikeswww.thehubsa.co.za - For great deals on second hand bikes Going second hand you will be able to get better components for your money but new you will at least get a warranty and bike setup at most shops. At the moment I've seen that Momsen, Trek, Giant and Merida have an awesome range of bikes (I stand to be corrected). I've also heard that Fuji have returned to the market with MTB bikes and they have a few good offerings. Their road bikes are quality so I can imagine the MTB side of the business is well run.

Lurch the stalker Posted June 22, 2015 Share If you're near Midrand, go see Anton at Summit Cycles, they sell Silverbacks and you'll get a good deal and great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
