AngusC Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Hi,I'm looking to get back into the mountain biking scene and therefore need a bike. If anyone has or knows of a used Scott Spark 940/950 that's for sale I'd greatly appreciate the help. I'd like one with the newer geometry (2017 and newer). There don't seem to be many available here on the classifieds. Thanks in advanced, my cell is 0833006789.

Might just be someone that is on the fence about selling and then see your ad.

Either those bikes were just really cheap, or the price of bikes have sky-rocketed.
MajG Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Prices have favored the second hand market. u will get a good deal just wait it out, they do fly fast tho so u must be watching constantly and if u set up alerts, they only pop up instant notifications for bike plus members AngusC 1
Rocket-Boy Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Second hand bikes in EL are few and far between, also the people often want ridiculous amounts for them.If you have friends in JHB or CT then its normally better to pick one up in those areas after someone looks at it and get it shipped.

dasilvarsa Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 940 2017 is a lot better than 950 2017. ChrisF 1
AngusC Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 940 2017 is a lot better than 950 2017.How so? I know the suspension is somewhat upgraded but the drivetrain I'd convert to a 1x anyway.
