Raleigh RM4 MTB and Genesis FXO

[Pookie]

I'd like to get a new bike and someone recommended the Raleigh RM4 as a good entry level MTB. Any oppinions, experience with this bike? It has a Suntour Axon fork, Deore and LX and rides well apparently...

 

Then, anybody with knowledge on a Genesis FXO road bike, 9 speed of about 3 years old? Did 1 Argus and a bit of training...then it cost R6000...what should it be costing now?

 

Thanks and...cheerios

If my memory serves me correct, the Genesis FX0 came equiped with 8 speed Sora components and sold for R3500.00. It was the entry level of entry level bikes. It was blue in colour.

 

The FX1 was a little upgraded (still had Sora) and came with a Ahead set and better wheels. The FX0 had the old quill type headset.

 

The bike you are referring to may have been a custom build using a FX0 frame.

Thanks eh! Then I was surely about to be ripped off, I was told they payed R6000 for it (which now turns out to be the WHOLE kit) and want to sell te bike and shoes for R3500! What a bad deal! I am having trouble finding a good small sized road bike for below R2000...so if you know of anyone that has a good one...please pm me!
