All you will get is a boot'r, I like mine, and I love it when I beat R40 000 DH bikes!!!

A bra of mine had an old Faith that he struggled to sell.

Let me check if its still available.

There was also an old orange up for grabs from another friend.

Will have to check with him too.

You could get a brand new one for R11000 at one point. I think Omnico overestimated demand and was left with a bunch of bikes. The value was just ridiculous

 

Generally the 2nd hand DH bike market is retarded. If you are patient you can get a good one for WELL less than the cost of just a fork.

what size is the faith? it looks sick!

The gooses are pretty strong, I like mine BUT if I had the money I would upgrade to a New Glory or something. Its been a while since those Glory's been in the market in Gauteng.

 

Just be careful with an old DH bike, those things takes up a lot of beating, for the price of an 2008 Glory you an get a 2012 boot'r

 

Ps: I am not a Mongoose representative, I am just looking for value for money.

The best advice I can give you about starting DH is DONT.

 

Unless you like posting pics of plates and paying more for arm splints that bikes

Orange 223 if I'm not mistaken. I'm pretty sure you have a better chance of splitting an atom than cracking one of those
