New bicycle

[Zenbaas]

Sorry, only saw this now. I have a Silverback Phoenix 2011 model that I picked up for R4.5k.



Geez, that looks great! If I needed a new bike I'd grab that. Almost seems too good to be true. Wonder if they actually have any stock?

I always like to see what other places are selling it for and I see Evan's Cycles has it for R7968 : http://www.evanscycles.com/products/trek/6000-d-2012-mountain-bike-ec030270

No problem. Thanks for the reply. Yeah i'll contact them and see what they have to say for themselves. I also tried to look to compare but your Google fu is clearly better than mine

Trek 6000 2012 for R5k

Thoughts...?

Nice bike! Having Deore at the front and back does help. The shock is also pretty good, people often think Suntour is weak and while it is not on the same level as Fox or Rock shocks they can take a lot of abuse. I'm still on my first XCM and it works like a charm.

So no more trek bikes in my size :/ What are your thoughts on this 29'er for R5k as well..?

Never heard of them but there is nothing wrong with a Ailivio / Acera set. The only 29er in that price range I would buy is the one I have right now : http://citycycles.co.za/component/v...-country/2012-gt-karakoram-3-0-29-detail.html
