Patchelicious Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Think the more important question is why only R40k? Surely OP could just finance it and buy a proper bike?
ChrisF Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Think the more important question is why only R40k? Surely OP could just finance it and buy a proper bike? are you saying the EX8 (insert any other brand and model here) is not a proper bike ...
Pure Savage Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I thought the OP should just enter the Santa Cruz competition for R150 and hope for the Best.

T-Bob Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I thought the OP should just enter the Santa Cruz competition for R150 and hope for the Best. All in with the R40K on on tickets? Like your style, would love to see how you roll at a casino... "I'm savage, I'm here for a good time, not a long time! Let's go Black."
Robbie Stewart Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Budget is 40K, what would you get? Requirements:Must have at least 120mm travelMust be DualyMust be a bit slacker, a 67ish Would love a 27.5 plus but don’t really see stock except the 2017 scott spark 730 plus and the components not so great and shock seem crappy? But dont mind 29 or 27.5 No go’s:SpezSpezSpez I know some fool will post just add x and get a y but im spending 40 and thats it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Uh dude, perhaps I should be the one to point out that you are describing a Spez, in particular the Camber... I recently pulled the trigger on one, and oh my, what a bike...

Headshot Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Get a Spez Epic Comp, R45kThats wrong on every point he raised.

Robbie Stewart Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 But seriously, a Spaz Camber Comp on sale would get you decent components and save you R10k. And with the R10k saving he can get a shorter stem and a dropper post, and that will turn an already incredible machine into a trail missile. Proper fun to be had on a Camber. Just saying...
Patchelicious Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Thats wrong on every point he raised.No its not!
NicoBoshoff Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I know he said dually, and the Camber Comp on special with an upgrade or two is a no brainer, but flip, I'd get a Santa Cruz Chameleon and go SLX 1x11 gruppo, Arch Ex on Hope4, Lynne dropper, RS Revelation and cockpit with what's left.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkso i guess buying 260 R150 tickets to the TokaiMTB and then picking from the Santa Cruz range is not an option?
