ThePubSA Posted October 8, 2018 Share It is from a bike shop .... and bike has apparently also been serviced by them prior to sale (not that i would be able to tell if it was )they shouldnt need to service a new bike off the shop floor .. they usually offer 2 free services after your purchase with a new bike .. if they dont phone linden cycles speak to Joneene and see what she can sort u ,, tell her u willing to buy the silverback for X and can she better it .. and they usually give u a 2 free service card .

NeverNotRolling Posted October 8, 2018 Share Thanks for posting the photos. This looks like it will be a perfect replacement for my daily commuter bike. My old Cannondale F7 has served me loyally for the last 9 years, but it's time for a new one to last me for my last 5 odd years before possibly retiring after what then will be 40 years at Sasol. Yesterday I was 35 years at Sasol...... I have been cycling to work and back (currently) for about 30 years now, and for the price of possibly a single car installment, I can continue saving on fuel expenses. Wow 30 years, that's amazing! dasilvarsa and jdwet1980 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted October 8, 2018 Share Do they have any Supersix disc brake Ultegra's yet? They might have, could not see them clearly, were still being unpacked and the New Scalpels were in the way !!

GrahamS2 Posted October 8, 2018 Share So, I went down to Makro in toti after coming across this thread. I am keen to get my Mrs one of these bikes, trail 5, as they offer quite a bit of bang for your buck and if she doesn’t quite enjoy riding ( which is highly possible ) I haven’t broken the bank. It is VERY well specced for the price and I would have taken one had they had the right size which is a small... the guys on the floor are clueless and could not tell me weather or not they will have any different sizes coming in - in fact they could tell me anything... anyway, having gone through many bikes over the years, the trail 5 is an excellent entry level option for the price. If anybody can advise on if they know what sizes will be available and where, please let me know!!Makro Springfield seem pretty jacked, but most of the 20 bikes they received have been reserved or sold. My wife picked up a trail 5 for herself earlier today. It's boxed, so I'll be building tonight nickc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPD1 Posted October 8, 2018 Share I went to Springfield and Toti. Only medium in stock of the Trail 5 and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEd Posted October 8, 2018 Share Failed to spot the "Makrodales" in Bloemfontein... As usual, I'm guessing we'll be left out of the loop! Not that I care anymore... Found a second hand bike in the classifieds with better specs for cheaper that satisfies my urge to commute! callieskibbe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craai Posted October 8, 2018 Share Strange how branding makes such a big difference to people; if this bike was taken exactly as-is and had a “Makro” sticker instead of “Cannondale”, I bet we wouldnt have a 20 page thread on it ThePubSA, DieselnDust, TheEd and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
