Valenti bikes at Solomons

[Champ1617]

I am in the markwt for a new bike, a 29er with good spec, fork, groupset, etc. Valenti VRS was recommended to me by Solomons cycles, but i do not know the brand at all. Decent spec for the price. Not even a review on the internet. Does anyone know them? Who makes them? Where? Are they durable and dependable? Please help

Interesting ....

 

similar approach to "Signal bikes" ? https://signalbikes.co.za/

 

 

been a couple of similar projects of the years .... In the 80's we bought a similar "SA built" bike, gave us good service.  Certainly nothing wrong with the concept.  Ultimately it is about the quality of the parts, and the quality of assembly, and then finally about the back-up ....

 

 

 

Would be interesting to hear from Valenti owners .....

Considering Solomons are the only stockist, it tells me that it is their own in house brand.

 

It's so easy nowadays to have your own brand. There are so many Chinese companies willing to sell you any amount of bikes/frames with any names/colour schemes on them.

 

Would be interested to see the pricing.

 

I certainly would not have a problem buying one. They look quite decent.

In the link the one pic shows a dual suss but all the bikes featured are hardtail?

Yeah looks like Solomons in house brand.

 

If you care to share your budget, then hubbers would be able to assist with better feedback.

 

Silverback / Momsen / Giant usually have well specced "budget" bikes, shop around.

Thanks folks. I’ve opted for a Silverback Spectra Sport.
