Sharky11 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Hi All, Looking to buy a new bike. I would love a dual suspension but only have 15k to play with? Are there any decent ones in that range out there?
arendoog Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Nothing new in that range .Look in classifieds. Place wanted add there with size ext !
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 You may be able to get a Giant Stance or a Silverback in that range, but nothing fancy. 2nd hand would probably be your best bet.
DJR Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Second hand is the way to go. For R15 000 you will be able to buy a very clean, near top of the range, 2nd hand, full suspension 26er. Or a somewhat lower specced 29er? Perhaps? If you are lucky?
Speeltyd Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 There's a fair specced Bergamont - new, in classifieds - med. If that's your size, I would go for it. Shipping is around R350, so you get a new deal for under R15k
Sharky11 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 I dont mind secondhand at all. I would probably have to go for a large frame as i am 1.87m tall. Will have to be patient and keep my eyes peeled for a good deal.
Andrew Steer Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 You sure you need a dual suspension? Unless you're going to be doing some heavy trail/enduro type riding, a hardtail is still the business. Cheap dual sussers for me are generally not worth the extra weight, maintenance etc You can get a very lekker hardtail for under R15k
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Here's a very good option. XL, but it's the right size for your height https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/152154-giant-anthem-x-29er-size-xl/

Odinson Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 not 15k but that GT in the classifieds...ormegawd https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/152279-like-new-gt-xizang-9r-titanium-machine/ "Only ridden once" - what a load of crap.

Andrew Steer Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 "Only ridden once" - what a load of crap. Nobody rides on here... just fight and buy stuff so we have something to talk about between Fridays Does look in good condition though I must say... And why didn't my first mountain bike look anything like that
CAAD4 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I've seen it and stroked it. It really looks new...
