T-girl Posted December 20, 2009 Share Yes, thats right, I am STILL franking bike shopping!! Ok, so far my options are; a 2010 scott scale 40 (hardtail) which I'm hoping is around R16k. A Kona kula deluxe frame (yes please!!) with an xt/deore group set&recon front fork for like R17k (quite expensive for the componemts if you ask me) or the giant anthem X3 with a blue X2 frame... Basically I have made NO progress as I still am unsure if I want hardtail or softtail! Flip! Tho I'm not sure if I can justify getting a dual susp as I only ride on the weekends and when I do races I prefer sticking to the 40km diatances. So surely a light, amazing hardtail is better?? Help!

turtlek Posted December 20, 2009 Share Why dont you look at the GT Zaskar elite just over the 10grand mark and comes with SLX it is also quite pimping in white with a little bit of green and black Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/59601-oh-my-gash-i-still-dont-know/#findComment-901199 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EigerSA Posted December 21, 2009 Share Have a look in the latest "bicycling" magazine, they've got sort of a semi-review of some bikes with pricing. I know you not into Mongoose but the Otero Elite (full susp) got a nice review for just R6995. The Silverback Dokota (my favorite hard tail) comes in at R7665, and the Schwinn Mesa Elite at R6395. Stick to full sus, if you not comfortable you not going to ride as often... There's also the Trek Fuel full sus for R15500.
