Isn't the Alias a bit of a brick?


dunno' date=' most options in that bracket seems to be brickish

I can get a Specialized Rockhopper M4 for R6200. Think it's a good buy?

Yes Big%20smile


I meant objectively speaking Wink

 

Sorry LOL

 

My LBS also sells Silverback and it seems all the feedback they have is positive so I'm sure you won't go wrong with one of them!

Yup' date=' Nabraska is closer to 7. Dakota is just under 6k, if you can find stock.[/quote']

 

we've got a coupla dakotas, and one nabraska (small) in stock.

 

Where are you?

 

benoni. procycles. need an addy or is it too far out for you? 

 

the reason i asked is because you mentioned those two bikes and i have a regular customer called phillip who bought a nabraska a little while back and is looking at an alias for his son.

 

benoni is bit far out unless you want to sell the nabraska for R6k Wink

 

BTW: Different Philip

How much is a Spez Myka? Heard good things about those.

 

They look quite good but I think they are also around the R7K mark if you want decent components on it

3 friends of mine have the Specialized Rockhopper and they are all very happy with their bikes.  I rode one the other day on some singletrack (the owner wanted to try the dual suspension I was riding) and was quite impressed.

Rockhopper is Deore/LX mix with Avid V-Brakes

Nabraskas have LX/XT Mix with hydraulic brakes

 

I do like the Rockhopper though
