Teocali Weight

[Jac]

Hi guys,

<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

I have my eye on a 2 month old Mongoose Teocali. It?s hardly been used and is absolutely spotless for R12 000. It retails for R20 000. It also quite heavy (tad over 14kg) but with 140mm of travel it tends to be more of an all mountain/trail bike than a XC bike. My question is weather this is too heavy for doing 50 odd km XC country races say once a month or so. I?m not a very competitive rider but I don?t want to spend more time cursing than smiling.

 

Any input will be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks.
