Wheelie87 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 Not if you're planning on jump lines like G-spot you mentioned. That fork and your weight (assuming it won't be less than 70 kg if you're 1.95m tall) will not be the best match.The Trance 2 is the bike you'd want, but looking at local webpage, it seems it's only the Trance 1.5 or 3 that's available. Haha okay coolI would like something not solely e.g. G-spot but also more technical all mountain capability Although flying down G-Spot feels amazing, I must say that I will prefer a 29" No, on a good day I'm 85kg
Wheelie87 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 No. Not the Stance. Camber / Stumpy / New Anthem / Trance / Silverback Slider / Trek Fuel / Scott Spark (new one with the vertical shock placement) / Pyga 110 120 140 Awesome, will check them all out thanks mate
stefmeister Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/227191-merida-one-twenty-9800-2016/ This one, Fox 34 upfront - will feel solid shredding trails and hitting jumps. Sram GX is a bonus, as well as the dropper post. It's new, so they might be able to source one in your size if you inquire.

Wheelie87 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 The verdict is buy a YT Jeffsy rather :-) Although at 1.95 m even their XL may be a little short... You've made your point good sir. Now my only question is : https://www.yt-industries.com/en/detail/index/sArticle/1248/sCategory/508 or https://www.yt-industries.com/en/detail/index/sArticle/1249/sCategory/508 Gonna order it to the UK/US and have family coming back to SA bring it with and save the odd R20k I'm leaning towards the Al2 not only because the colour looks amazing

Also, have a look at this deal:2017 Giant Trance 1.5 LTDWas: R 47,900Now: R 38,999https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/166735-giant-durbanville-ctct-sale-and-new-management/?p=3079439

There isn't much seperating the two bikes. Suspension wise they're identical. The AL One does have slightly better drivetrain and brakes. Either way, don't get too caught up on the spec sheet. Choose the one you keep going back to.
Wheelie87 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah I'm pretty set on the Al2 Jeffsy to be honest Thoughts on these: https://www.cube.eu/en/2017/fullsuspension/ http://www.cubebikes.co.za/fullsuspension-2016/ Stereo looks pretty decent..

The Stereo 140s are nice bikes. Personally, I'd still choose the Jeffsy.
