CMoss Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Hi, I am new to mountain bikes and I am learning as I go along looking for one for myself. I am looking at a specialized mountain bike (2018) for sale, I am waiting to hear what model it is but here is the specs I have below. Do you think this is a good deal for R4850? - 27 speed Deore Rapidfire Shimano gears with Deore derailer- Full rockshox airshocks which can be set- Sharp front and Back hydraulic disc brakes- Full quick release system In the pics the bike looks like it is in very good condition. Any advice or input would be appreciated. ThanksChantal
Quagga Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Post the add and we can comment We need info like 26 or 29 What brakes Quick release is old techetc
Skott5 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 This would be quite an old bike - probably a 26 inch with 3 x 9 drivetrain. What is your budget ?
shaper Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) I suspect with 3x9 (27spd) rapid fire shifters and QR the bike is not a 2018 (much older) and probably a 26er? Which model Specialized bike is it? More info definitely required. Edited February 3, 2021 by shaper

CMoss Posted February 3, 2021 Author Posted February 3, 2021 This would be quite an old bike - probably a 26 inch with 3 x 9 drivetrain. What is your budget ?Under R6000, looking for mountain bike to ride with my son at bike parks and when we do some trails at the bush. I might consider a little over 6K if it is a very good deal.
Yyyy Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 How tall are you? thats a XS so would probably be suitable for a growing tween/teen? on a side note can i just say bikes are getting darn expensive, i mean wtf. I know covid and lockdown and limited supply and all that but some prices out there just seem like extortion. CMoss, Sid the Sloth and Heinrich Hattingh 3
shaper Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Bike looks like a Spez Myka, probably 2011/2012
