VeloRacer Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Im a roadie and wanna "try" my hand on mtb.Choosing the ideal mtb has been difficult. My options are: Silverback Dakota with hydraulic disc brakes & Shimano Alivio Components, R4450(new) Schwinn Mesa LTD with hydraulic disc brakes & Shimano Deore components, R4500(new) Or.... Scott Scale 60X (2008 model) with V-brakes and Shimano Deore components, R3500(used) Any suggestion and comments would be appreciated. Ta!
Dicky DQ Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 In this price range the components will all be very much the same, but you left out the most important one. what shocks do the options have?

ignious Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Schwinn. It is a great frame and the suspension is very comfortable.
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 i USED TO ride scott... its a nice frame but you must remember that the scale range is a racing geometry.... so can be a little uncomfy when you only start out...
VeloRacer Posted April 6, 2008 Author Posted April 6, 2008 Majority reckons Scott would be a better buy even tho its second hand?
