circo Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I want to buy a new bike for my wife, as a surprise. She is quite competitive and it needs to be a new bike. Anyone aware of any great deals at the moment? Hoping someone did the research already and I don't have to do it. Anywhere around 35k should be ok. Am in Cape Town.

Would narrow things down somewhat.
circo Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 What kind of bike? Would narrow things down somewhat.good point. Road bike. Size 51. Was actually jut looking at this - but looks like they are not selling to the public.
rock Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 good point. Road bike. Size 51. Was actually jut looking at this - but looks like they are not selling to the public. should be able to get that from Chris Willemse in Green Point - ask for Roland
eddy Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 The best deal, irrespective of the price, is the one you get from a good bike shop you have built a good relationship with.
CogitoErgoSum Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 The best deal, irrespective of the price, is the one you get from a good bike shop you have built a good relationship with.Very valid view.... But my problem is - my lbs do not do demo bikes. I am looking at replacing my full sus later this year but they don't have demo bikes. They are brilliant mechanics and a good bunch of guys. It just feels wrong to me to go for a try-out at another shop and not then buy from the shop where I try the bike out, but then to have my lbs order the bike for me. If it makes sense what I am trying to say ???? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

But I would support the guys who are going to be wrenching it for you in the long run.
Shebeen Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Oh, and a great deal on road bike.. The sweetspot there is about R25k imho
