BigTom Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 no no no, that's a damn fine bike. if it's good condition like he says then go for it I want to sell the bike as a package deal, so I'm not willing to break it up at this stage. I spent over R18k (2010 rands!) building this up, so think that my price is pretty good. The bike is in Claremont. Why are you saying no, no, no? I would agree that he should go for it. As I said, I doubt he would find anything better for that price.

Raemondo Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Lets say 5k (give or take a K or 2) to spend on a medium sized MTb, what would you look at? I know this aint much for a bike, but I cannot spend anymore than that, even though some would probably say, save up more money and buy a decent bike of 10k minimum. What would you look at, frame brand, components, shock type/brand etc etc. Is there anything one should keep an eye out for?Thanxhttps://momsenbikes.com/shop/clearance-bikes/mtb-momsen-29-al029-xl-black-2016/ Sure it's an XL, but pretty sure you could find a new or at least demo in Med within your budget
Mongoose001 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 max i could probably spend is R3500, then i still need to get kit for myself and my son. I think me gonna rob the postman. Free bike and then I have 3k5 to spend on kit lolol

Free bike and then I have 3k5 to spend on kit lololHi Mongoose, I have a bike you can have. It is pieced together but... It has done the epic before and is a solid option. Its a Kona AA with V brakes only. Wheels are mavic 819 tubeless and are bombproof. Xt hubs The rest is a mix of xt and slx components. The shock is a Judy that seized so now acts like a rigid. But I reckon you can pick up a new or used 26" shock very cheap. Or maybe someone will donate one to you. I am also in Southern suburbs Cpt so the only cost will be for you to come and collect it.

Mongoose001 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 you guys arent giving me a chance to type
BigTom Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I saw that Edit, you got just over a year on me And I've been around longer than you both, and haven't even cracked 200 yet Now if classified posts counted, that might be a different story.
Mongoose001 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Kona Kula, thanx for the opportunity. But as I have less than 1000 posts, wait, less than 100 posts, crap, less than 80 posts I think its best if you pass it on to someone more deserving Us coloureds! So I managed to twist the arm of this unsuspecting young man https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/233544-silverback-dakota-mountain-bike/ Gonna be my new wheels, hopefully by this afternoon This doesnt mean I aint gonna loaf for stuff as I still need kit
