JarradVZ Posted July 19, 2010 Share Welcome to the hub.This one is gonna go on forever and confuse you even more. Zaskar is great, ride it, if you like it - buy it. You're gonna get hooked and upgrade in a year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted July 20, 2010 Share I would go for the GT simply because I think the mongoose are really ugly and generally comes with components not readily available in SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted July 20, 2010 Share I would go for the GT simply because I think the mongoose are really ugly and generally comes with components not readily available in SA. im no expert on the myriad of mtb choices. however. one of the most amazing bikes i've ever ridden was a GT Zaskar expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretched@Birth Posted July 20, 2010 Share Buy the best bike you can afford - more importantly though, make sure it fits you correctly. My first MTB was too big, and I really didn't enjoy my riding, upgraded to a better, correctly fitted bike, and what a difference. Size does matter...

JarradVZ Posted July 20, 2010 Share Maybe we should try swing him toward Silverbacks?? Ha ha! I seem to have created a rep for myself. Great idea though. Fassie do a search for Silverback. You will find loads of adverts. I think you can even get a Mercury 2 for like 500 bucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fully fed up with know it all's that have no fcuking clue what they are on about. For instance if i say tim henman can't play tennis that is a fact, if i said GT makes a crap bike i would be lying ive never been on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
