Like this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/327666-specialized-enduro-29/?click_src=topad Had a look at this and was definitely on the list; Only concern was it already being 5 years old I'd imagine a lot would be quite outdated (Feel free to correct me). Generally tried to keep my pre-used options 2015+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sentence needs a comma. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/327666-specialized-enduro-29/?click_src=topad And this fits the bill perfectly. If its the right size for you. Buy it.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 23, 2018 Share What size are you? With new bikes, the Merida range at Bike Addict are bloody hard to beat, and are killer bikes. https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-forty-800-2018https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-sixty-800-2018https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-sixty-5000-2017https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/merida/products/merida-one-sixty-600-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reach numbers, just the seat tube angle and head angle which could be a bit more "up to date", but even then it's a great option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even by today's standards.He should keep an eye out though. Look around. Nothing against the stumpy.Just seems more intended for the casual trail rider rather than someone with their sights focused squarely on enduro.

I think I'd even take a 2015 Enduro over the newer more "up to date geo" ones. They really got it right with those bikes. Still my favorite Enduro/Trail/Not a DH bike of all time.
