Jewbacca Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 I recently got a 650b Mattoc... and I don't have a 650b bike. Well I kinda did have a Norco Range but that fell through. So i've been scratching my head wondering what the hell I'm going to do with it. Then this popped up on CRC Black Friday for R2.5K or should I rather look for an Orange Crush rather for a bit more. Thoughts? It's been a while since I've ridden a HT and it could be a lot of fun.

The Mattoc and that will marry beautifully and with spare parts and a decent 2nd hand wheelset you could build the only bike you really need in Cape Town for around 10 000 ZAR... Basically the best investment you will ever make.

cdevil Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 My type of all mountain hardtail. Long, low and slack with plus size tires which helps with the small bump on the rear end.
T-Bob Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 BUY IT. BUY IT NOW!!!! Arrrgggghhhhh. I am officially an idiot. So I had the frame in my basket then all of a sudden I kept getting security warnings from FNB and weird OTPs so I rang the bank, they cancelled the card, locked my online banking,everything safe and sound, back to the purchase and.... Oh nuts. 5 days for a new card. Blow.

T-Bob Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 No, feck - you don't have a mate who can help you out!?!?!?!?! Well I could ask the Mrs... but that will start a whole world of explaining. Why do you need a frame? Errr because I've got a fork. Why do you need another fork? errr...You've just bought one... that replaces the other one you've just bought. It's a different sized for for different sized wheel.... that I don't have yet. Might not actually. Need to find a bro with a CC asap.

T-Bob Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Wish that CRC deal was a steel frame. I saw On One were having an extra 25% off frames and stuff even if they are already reduced. They have new steel hooligan bike that dips under £200 with that extra discount.

Rushdee Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 hmmm, my raw steel hard tail frame is for sale too, smaller size though: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/225128-raw-steel-on-one-45650b-275-smallfits-a-medium/
Chavo Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 For fans of the AM hardtail, if you could have only one bike for SA trails would you consider the AM hardtail? I'm considering the Kona Honzo as an option to be that one bike but I'm also wondering if a short to mid-travel full susser is a better option. Realise it will probably be each to their own but I'm interested in opinions nonetheless.
PhilipV Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 If I was only allowed one bike it would be a 130mm fullsus.
Neill Du Toit Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Not sure if this really qualifies as an All Mountain hardtail. Only 120mm travel but this is the Specialized Fuse Comp I bought last week.
