NC_lurker Posted May 7, 2008 Share thanks HR . going to have to try get a test drive on all these bikes If you do manage to test drive any of these bikes, pls let me know how you organised. I'm also in the market, but it seems very difficult to get bikes for a test drive. I'm looking at:Mongoose Canaan EliteGT marathon 1.0Giant Anthem & TranceMerida Mission 2000-DCommencal Meta 4.2 Felt is unfortunately out of my budget range.Currently the Mongoose is top of my list due to cost vs components.

Slowbee Posted May 7, 2008 Share lurker, me and you have been looking for a while. what sort of price have you got on the canaan elite? where are you based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanman44 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Anything GT/Trek hard tail will get you a kick ass bike. Top components too. Dont let them bullsh*t you with anything less than XT XTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pererace70 Posted May 14, 2008 Share I'm currently being wooed by the following Scott: http://www.scott-sports.com/gb_en/product/375/636/scale_35 and I was told that the Stumpjumper is in the same bracket too (Round 15k) http://www.specialized-sa.co.za/contentbike.php?range=99&bike=51 Any comments?

pererace70 Posted May 15, 2008 Share As a MTB newcomer, will I prefer SRAM X.7/X.9 combo or the full XT on the Scott? Or must I look at the frame as more important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neelsf Posted May 15, 2008 Share Ask dirrtyhippo on his bike that he is selling its almost new and has the best components u can get on therehttps://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=26320 neelsf2008-05-15 09:20:29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted May 15, 2008 Share As a MTB newcomer' date=' will I prefer SRAM X.7/X.9 combo or the full XT on the Scott? Or must I look at the frame as more important?[/quote'] It all comes down to the shifters. Do you like to shift both up and down with your thumb (Sram) or up with your thumb and down with your forefinger (Shimano). BTW, the new XT you can do either.

pererace70 Posted May 21, 2008 Share So... I bought the Specialized yesterday The only changes I made were change the X.7 shifters for X.9 and of course did a Stans tubeless conversion. I'll post pics soon... http://www.specialized-sa.co.za/contentbike.php?range=99&bike=51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
