DR ◣◢ Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 So i'm converting a friend to riding and I know that old models are a great idea for first time buyers. Are there any shops in Gauteng clearing out old stock at good prices? 650b or 29" in a medium.
fabs Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Go and see Conrad of Eagle Canyon Cycles.He will take good care of you.
Thomo Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Isn't old stock normally abundant at places like Solomons and Cajees.?
Ozzie NL Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Go and see Conrad of Eagle Canyon Cycles.He will take good care of you.Nah, they are friendly enough but not the most knowledgeable. Would rather cruise the Hub classifieds for sweet deals. But first figure out what sort of riding will be done

Me rida my bicycle Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Sorry not last year 2017 forgot we are already in the 19th week of Jan 2019????
Jewbacca Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Full stop.Did you also get your heart rate up by reading that in one breath?
Arries87 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I tend to breath at full stops, like when I speak. I read slowly due to my verry deliciously englisch, I nearly feinted! Did you also get your heart rate up by reading that in one breath? I agree with the posts about looking for good prices at Solomons on old stock, I got my Titan (gasp, the horror!) there for an absolute bargain!
Me rida my bicycle Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Did you also get your heart rate up by reading that in one breath?sorry guys didn't know this is a teachers convention. Just the thought of a new bike gets me excited and carried away. Promise to put breathing spaces in next time. O ja and I mostly use English for self defense so excuse the boertjie.????????????

'I mostly use English for self defence'..... this is classic!
DR ◣◢ Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks all. Secondhand isn't an option on this one. If it was for myself I would gladly go for that option since I know what to look for and what to do if something goes south. First experiences on a bike should be a good one. Brand new will more likely give that. Will check out the recommended options
Eugene Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Look at www.obike.co.za. They have some bargains. You order online and it is shipped to your bike shop. You just collect and ride away.
