I think Cycles Africa are the Manitou Dealers? Take one of the RS variants, damn fine suspension, and the dudes are cool to deal with at the importers if you have any issues, they spend alotta dosh sending there boys overseas to get trained on the new platforms.

Over 100kg use a suspension fork with a steel steerer. Heavier than that using an alloy steerer you will put yourself at risk. Marzocchi makes them.

TitusTi, you are right, Cycles Africa is the Manitou dealers. Think the guys who are doing Kona bikes are the Marzocchi agents in SA. Think they are from Cape Town if not mistaken.

2 - Manitou make a great shock - As far as I understand though' date=' the representation in the country is really shocking (pun unintended) so if something goes wrong you might get frustrated.

I have only have good things to say about the Manitou agents, and I wouldn't buy any other brand just because of how good they have been to me. They are also agents for Magura and they rebuilt my non-functioning disc brakes the night before the first stage of the Cape Epic 2 years ago. They certainly didn't have to, and they went out of their way to assist.
