Wedge Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 So I've been browsing around for a decent budget MTB. I've seen a few, but one specific one grabbed my attention. A store here in PE has the Mongoose Super Tyax on special for R3999. I did some research on the spec and would like some advice on the components whether they are bad or decent value for money(considering the price). Thanx for helping a noob out.

Chip Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Hi Wedge, Rather look for a good secondhand bike with a much better spec than the Mongoose, when the bug bites you will want to upgrade soon, there are some good deals on bikes here on the Hub. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/96261-starter-mtb/ GT Avalanche 1.0 - Great bike https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/95948-mtb-wanted/ Mongoose Tyax Elite Happy trails...
