SlowSpoke Posted September 11, 2010 Share I'm having difficulty deciding which XC bike to buy. I'm riding the Epic next year so I'm looking for a FS in the range of R22 000.I have a Scott Spark 35 at the moment but after the third time it broke I decided to get something reliable.

DMD 1 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Buy a Morewood Zula frame and build it up with your old components and then replace the components bit by bit as the cash flow allows. I am loving the ride comfort the Zula gives. Oh yes it also climbs like a demon on steroids. Morewodd all the way and as they say local is lekker.

meerkat Posted September 14, 2010 Share Zula sounds interesting. What about a 29er for the EPIC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowSpoke Posted September 17, 2010 Share I've settled for the 2011 Merida Ninety-Six 1200D. It will hopefully be here next week before the Marrick MTB Challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted September 17, 2010 Share Ventana El Rey 29'er dual-susser. I rode 2010 Epic on it and what a blast - but you'll need to spend a little more than R22k B) See you at the '11 Epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnydabutcher Posted September 17, 2010 Share Im sure a girl has told you this before but you need more-wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flea Posted September 17, 2010 Share 29er was great (did the 2010), especially on the railway line...will battle with the R22k, but Specialised Epic is about R30k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted September 17, 2010 Share Ghost 7400 Lector. I'm yet to see a better specced carbon bike for this price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Posted September 17, 2010 Share Giant Anthem 29er will be here in a few weeks, full xt bike is @ 29k i believe.Sure you can find a little more crown, you probably have 2 more paydays before they are in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted September 17, 2010 Share I must go with Tarmac-SL3 - the Ghost RT Lector 7400 is the best money can buy with full XT 10spd carbon Dual suss - XT wheels etc...!! Awesome bike and good looking as well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
