Jaco Steyn Posted September 23, 2018 Share I also had a look at it at Makro Vaal. Seriously considering this to replace my 8 year old commuter MTB, which also is a Cannondale. I have no need for the latest and greatest components just to cycle to work and back. I am however holding back a bit for the Trial 5 which I think is the better deal at only R500 more.

Eugene Posted September 23, 2018 Share Saw one today. Riser bars were facing downwards. If they cannot get the handlebars right, what about the rest of the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanny Posted September 24, 2018 Share Can i have some suggestions of what one can buy for R4,5k that is a better option than the Trail 5 ? i don’t see much retailing around that price range , or perhaps i don’t know where to look . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight steerer head tube, 9mm qr dropouts will all just add to your woes. Plus the frame is from 2015/16? Meaning geometry is outdated and you’ll just be throwing good money after bad. Just look for a 2nd hand bike in that price range and sell it at minimal loss again when you want to upgrade. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a lot of people just want to ride around the neighbourhood and the odd dirt road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a lot of people just want to ride around the neighbourhood and the odd dirt road.For that purpose, yeah it’s a perfectly fine bicycle. But my post and the post I quoted refer to upgrading the bike’s parts. Jonesy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanny Posted September 24, 2018 Share Thanks for the suggestion on the Silverback , it seems like a decent option ...... not a lot of options in the 2nd hand market at that price that are not even older than the 2016 Cannondale , which would also mean outdated geometry etc , and used to boot .... please help !

Eldron Posted September 24, 2018 Share Sad that these bikes have Cannondale stickers on them.SA is a such a small market. Head to Europe and you will find budget models for almost all "top marques". BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
