Nice bike for a big guy

[500jeff]

Hello, I am new to this forum.

I need some advice,  I like mountain bikes, had a few in the past. It is quite a long time since I had my last one.

I want very nice speced one , good alrounder that will be nice from the 94.7 to Sani2C.

Budget +-50k. 

I know it seems like a tall order, but my concerne is 1.84cm and 160kg. Not flabby 160kg but can loose a 20 or 30kg in the process. 

Advise will be appreciated.

Here’s a recent, decent read: link

From previous threads on this topic I seem to remember that wheels and drivetrain were the biggest considerations. Good quality wheels and hubs, with at least 32 spokes, and upper tier drivetrains.

I believe what you want is a strong strong wheelset with a high spoke count..

Being that no frame is going to be guaranteed for 160kg, this Trek Stache may be worth a look. From what the seller is saying in terms of components it may well work for you and get you rolling on your journey without too much outlay.
