noclue Posted January 30, 2009 Share I have been offered a 2005 Specialized Epic M4 Mountain Bike for R8 000 by a mate. Looks in good condition. He has 2 and has offered me one. I think its all stock standard parts and if so, is this a reasonably good deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noclue Posted January 30, 2009 Share Can't, he is using it, its a 2006 model. I am new to Mountain Biking and he just offered it to me to get me going. It may well be too much for me but if its a good deal then i will go for it...............he has been my mate for 15 years, he won't do me in!

Red Zone Posted January 30, 2009 Share Sounds like a good deal, I would take it, just make sure that the drivetrain, brakes etc... are in good nic, after 3 years of riding you may need to replace some bits, which could push the cost up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Depends on the condition, km's of all the parts and also what components are installed (xt, xtr?) Is it the dual suspension or hard tail?IMO i would beat him down at least another 1000ZAR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gongmech Posted January 31, 2009 Share well seeing as the bike prices of new bikes have gone up 20-30 % i figure if the bikes in reasonable condition and is the right size for u, then it's an awesome bike to get. Specialized bikes ride very well. I reckon u cant go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
