Trek - shocking first time impression!!!

[Jewbacca]

Yup. So it's still an XC race bike, just with a 120mm fork and better front tyre. Doesn't turn it into a trail bike, just makes it a more capable XC race bike. 

So exactly what I just said?

Yeah, was jumping on your wagon. It's comfy. Not many people on it, though.

Is there room for someone that owns a Trek?

Is there room for someone that owns a Trek?

as long as you use it for draad, yeah.

I don't get this thread. Buy the Pyga, Buy the extra shock/fork and wheels and you are sorted. 

 

You can Endurobro on the weekends and race W2W and K2C and Joburg2C and all the other 2's in XC mode on the SAME bike!

as long as you use it for draad, yeah.

 

Come on bru it treks like a souped GTi ekse!

I have had positive experiences with both Spez and Pyga as far as pre-purchase treatment. Knipe Racing at Meerendal and Specialized in Somerset West happily gave me test bikes - they didnt feel great (for me) and I ended up buying a bike I hadnt tested (Giant Anthem X) and loved it (guess I was lucky).

 

I now own a Scott Spark, which I also didn't test pre purchase (and also love - so lucky again I guess), not sure where I am going with this as far as testing goes   but I would still recommend testing whenever possible and brands that dont give dealers adequate demo bikes are a bit kaka.

 

 

 

Knipe_Racing has moved away from Meerendal a while back.  Now in Durbanville.

 

 

YES - excellent service from Louise and his team 

 

 

 

 

O, and YES - SCOTT SPARK all the way
