A decent racing hardtail

[Njaf]

Hi I would just like to hear your opinion of what the best racing hardtail under R8000 is

Frame or bike?

R8000 would be on the border of racing hard tail and hard tail.

 

Maybe second hand?

Have a look in the classifieds there are a few at that price and lower.

Dunno what you can get for that money, but I would say spec wise :

Shimano SLX gearing(or equiv SRAM) with a Rock Shox Recon SL (or other 80/100mm air fork) then some lightish wheels like the Tokens Kiwi were selling or American Classics(1,5kg range converted tubeless to stans)

, aluminum frame, disk brakes like juicy5/slx, egg beater c pedals, Esi or foam grips, thin saddle and standard finishing kit - try Titec, PRO or so for good deals.

Silverback nabraska probably your best bike for that price can get them for R8300

We stock KHS bicycles and we got a brand new one that goes for around R7500 and trust me, you wont find a better buy than this. Tthe bike is fast, responsive, light and i think really what you looking for. Come around to circle cycles in fish hoek, CT and come test ride one and you will see or feel why i say this. You can also check out there website at www.khs.com and look at the alite2000 and check out the specs and let me know what you think.
