GFishy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Take the bike for a ride to Kraalbaai, take a dip there. Turn around and if needed, go for pitstop at Geelbek for a coffee and perhaps a slice of cake!!! Good value for money bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Zone Posted March 25, 2009 Share I would go for a less expensive brand like a scott, lose the cheep (mechanical) disk brakes, and get a better drivetrain and fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted March 25, 2009 Share Nothing much wrong with mechanical brakes, maybe just upgrade to BB7's, you'd be surprised how good they work. For a beginner that bike is perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
