Chevan89 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Hi there Looking to buy a reliable entry level mountain bike, purely for fitness reasons. Interested in getting a 29er for around R3000 - R5000. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theunissa Posted October 25, 2016 Share Look at 2nd hand. Im new but as far as i know from lowest. Shimano Acera,alivio, deore. Go look for a bike in that bracket that has the most of the best components. I really dont think you get good parts on a bad bike. Im also looking at. Bike in that bracket for my wife. It never ends at just fitness. That was my original idea a 2 weeks ago. Im even getting spare rims for different tyres now. Brands i looked at were. Silverback, merida, gt, giant, scott(expensive), titan, axiz. Axiz seems very cheap.Also try and get air shocks and hydrolic disk brakes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Chevan89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikebloke Posted October 25, 2016 Share exactly as above if you just want a fitness bike buy a good spec used 26er off the classifieds eg: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/214672-merida-tfs300/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/215418-scott-duelsus-shimano-xt-rockshox-mint-conditio/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/214455-orbea-hardtial-mtb-for-sale/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/213517-schwinn-moab/ you will get a better bike for that money as a used 26 er if you even find a new 29er at that price it will be hypermarket junk ie goed koop is duur koop ne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
