Chro Mo Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Hi, All Which does everyone think is the better buy: Cotic SoulCove HandjobOn-One InbredMomsen 29er (threw this in there just for kicks - may be an option too...)On-one has pricing impossible to match at present, but the other two have their plus points too. Any feedback, experiences etc would be greatly appreciated. Riding will be mainly road and light trail (Giba/Holla),a few races a year etc. Not too much of the very rough stuff! I feel the need for a steel bike again! Let me know. Thanks a lot
philip.maree Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Since you threw the 29er in there. Why not look at the Giant XTC 29er. A friend of mine has bought one and it is excellent value for money. He paid R14k with tubeless conversion. SLX 30sp with XT RD, Fox Fork with Lockout. A bargain if you ask me.
LeTurbo Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I saw the headline and thought it was some kinda brouhahaha between three Hub members. Wouldn't have surprised me of course, but now I've put the popcorn in the microwave only to find out it's just about bikes. Disappointed!

Where'd he get it? I'll have to check in DBN.
