Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 how about this?https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/252683-lapierre-spicy-527-for-sale/it doesnt have to be the latest newest 650b,ill even take 26ersYou'll hate that 32 on the front, Cole. Knowing how tall you are right now, a medium would most likely be best. Should be able to pick up a good one for that cash 2nd hand.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/254340-ibis-mojo-slr/ This is a reeeeeally good option. Ridden one of these a while ago and it was properly fun.

Ridden one of these a while ago and it was properly fun.I am also looking for a trail ride,looked at that one. Tire clearence looks very tight front and rear - I am wondering if it is because of big tyres, or if the frame is 26". Good looking bike.
