Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 17, 2017 Share Everyone I know who has owned A spitfire says they have to be ridden hard to show their potential and I think the OP is looking for A trailbike 130/120 range. So maybe the spitty might not be ideal. Jeffsy is also probably better than the capra I mentioned. Think the silverback sprada is also A contender ( I've never owned one but they look like really killer bikes and 40k buys A LOT of silverback)I don't ride that hard, and the spitty was absolutely bloody amazing when I rode a friend's (thermophage) at Paarl. There's one for sale at stoke at the moment for about 40k with a very good spec for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted August 17, 2017 Share The smuggler is a great bike. If the OP likes he can come test ride mine. I am negotiable on price. (The relocation costs are getting hectic)There is a lot to like in that reply for the OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted August 17, 2017 Share I think I need to o visit my friends at Stoke Suspension. They are not your friends... they are evil. They make me spend money and make me think it was all my idea! Everyone I know who has owned A spitfire says they have to be ridden hard to show their potential. I've ridden a couple very slow and I have very little potential.

stefmeister Posted August 17, 2017 Share So been out the scene and off the bike for a while, but want to invest in a decent bike. Ive so far looked at the Trance Advanced 2GE. Any other suggestions?Why the carbon? I'd rather go for the 1.5 alloy model with fox 34 and overall better spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted August 17, 2017 Share Why the carbon? I'd rather go for the 1.5 alloy model with fox 34 and overall better spec.I've always liked the Trance, had two previously. I can get a good price, so its an option. It will be speced up from the basic model. So far the Banshee, YT, Stumpjumer are also contenders.

Robbie Stewart Posted August 17, 2017 Share I priced the new Jeffsy at the local importers, and they are now being brought in at around the 52k mark. This was in early May. I decided on the alu Camber for 37k. I am sooo not sorry. All I am upgrading to is a dropper. The rest is on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted August 17, 2017 Share Can get a 2017 Reign for that if you ask the shop nicely. But that's quite a lot of bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
