Panik0703 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 try to but DHK's giant dh team. thats a good bike. i think its this one http://capetown.gumtree.co.za/c-Stuff-for-Sale-sports-bicycles-fitness-Giant-DH-Team-Downhill-bike-W0QQAdIdZ156075939
DownhillingKing Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 cracks damage and make sure it has good brakes
jrussell Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 lets seee, you want at least 180mm fork travel, triple clamp will help the serious and pro riders but its up to you, you want a frame with at least 6' of travel, a fairly new or well maintained drivetrain, also look for fork and shock service historys. unless you get a run down old bike for +- 4k and then fix it up. for example I bought a Scott Nitrous 30 for about 6k and now im slowly building it up, just got new cranks put on and it looks awesome, and sometimes you get lucky with the older (cheaper) bikes, but like Panik said, show us what bike your interested and we will help you out and give you some advice
jrussell Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 hey syke: some dude is selling his mongoose DH rig. not sure if Jrussel included that in his million links lol sorry! this bike looks pretty sweethttps://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=63938

Capricorn Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 whats your guys opinions on the morewoods? they look good but do you know how they ride? there is a huge morewood following in ZA, and it's ridden on the world cup circuit so there cant be much wrong. I cant say personally because i've never ridden one before, and probably never will. Not my kind of frame.
Panik0703 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 well what i have ridden on my friends 2010 izumu it feels like such a nice bike to ride
jrussell Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 there is a huge morewood following in ZA' date=' and it's ridden on the world cup circuit so there cant be much wrong.

DownhillingKing Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 . . . and they are waaay overpriced for a local bike!
Capricorn Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 oh crap. someone said spesh!!! i think i just wet myself Them Demo 8's are soo droolworthy.
Panik0703 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 DHK is your giant still for sale. is it on G tree?
DownhillingKing Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 Yes but it still needs to go in for a service before I will let it go and I just havn't had time and don't know when I will be able to take it in
Capricorn Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 that's one more thing about them morewoods: price per frame. then again, it is a world class frame, but i would rather spend that money importing a spesh or Intense (probably thee most overpriced frame out there. Ask any ZA merida fan )
