I want opinions from informed people with experience from the market. Bargain, if you're looking for a badass hardtail.

I want opinions from informed people with experience from the market. What interests you in this bike? It certainly doesn't appeal to me however I can see where the value lies. I've never ridden a lauf nore a look stead. Both higher end valued brands/items. If you looking at something more bang for buck, look at a more mainstream brand as mentioned above.

Just be sure of the size. Good bikes I know of a great mechanic from Bellville who races on one 😁 might be the best person to speek to about them. (Mark's bicycle workshop) Thanks, will contact him.

It's so nice with carbon fibre and everything. But I get what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edrich1234 Posted March 25, 2023 Share 1 hour ago, Theunissa said: I don't know the bike but my opinion is for that price I would rather get a decent dual suspension secondhand. I mean. A new KTM Scarp is 44k. That's my problem, I already have a great dual sus mtb.( look at my profile... I am selling it). But it doesn't work for me I need to switch back to hardtail again.

V18 Posted March 25, 2023 Share I think it's fair use of the forum to come ask public opinion on value. Whish we stil had ad comments. I wouldn't buy a carbon HT second hand for various reasons. Some anecdotally supported. But if light stiff hardtail for munga/k2c/361 etc is what you're looking for. 35k isn't bad all in. Given the components and frame are in good condition.

That's why I am looking for a carbon hardtail. Me rida my bicycle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V18 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Pretty cool bike then. If I was lighter I'd love to try those lauf forks. The frame is a real eye-catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE Naude Posted March 25, 2023 Share That is a very exotic fork. I think it’s what pushed the price to that point. If the bike suits your intentions than pull the trigger. I wouldn’t use it for anything execpt XC though. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
