DieselnDust Posted August 13, 2019 Share Buying new is a safer bet in ensuring you get what you want.A 2014 Methanol would be the design previous to the outgoing 2015 design so it will still have external cabling?It may be an older bike but it still a bike. I'm just not sure I'd pay R35k for a 6yo MTB irrespective of geometry. BRing that down to the R25K mark and it a viable option. + Ryperd + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Ryperd + Posted August 13, 2019 Share You are correct Diesel. It has external cabling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted August 13, 2019 Share I had a test ride on a similar model. I liked the handling, its very racey. If you're not looking for a fast handling precise steering bike but rather something more forgiving with a wider range of performance then I'd say rather get something new. Not sure what your budget is but if <R50k then theres a lot on offer if you're not weight conscious. Thing is, you need to decide what you want from the bike first. At R35k the Bianchi is a no go from my point of view + Ryperd + and slickjay007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted August 13, 2019 Share Am I thus correct to assume that buying new is better?in the budget you are shopping you have a great choice of new bikes. It would need to be something really special for me to spend 30k+ on a used bike. Plus just the little peace of mind that if something goes bang you are covered. + Ryperd + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Ryperd + Posted August 14, 2019 Share Thanks all for your input. I made up my mind... and I am not buying a Momsen now, nor the 2nd hand Bianchi (if anyone are interested, I can share the owner's details). piotter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
