Get the Giant. Beautiful frame. Lifetime warranty. Light. Wins lots of bike shootouts in international mags.

 

The old Merida design is not worth it, even at a discount. Their new bike looks much better, but you'll have to wait. The Raleigh design is not great, so much so that David George got a prototype design (very weird) for the Epic, rather than using the Marathon layout.

Fair enough... my absolute ceiling is 15k... will have to join the bike on the couch if i spend any more... Embarrassed

 

I do like the GT, and will look at the Rush. Didn't know ORBEA made bikes in the same price band as the ones i listed originally...

 

So far GT is looking like the one. I can always buy a hydro pack, and I can get a good price for the 2.0...

cptmayhem, if you negotiate well, you may get a GT Marathon 1.0 for around R16k, which may be worth being R1k over budget. The white frame of the Marathon 2.0 looks cool, but check the spec/value for money on the Marathon 1.0
