Secondly I though well lets shed some weight like any true hub member, so I ask a LBS if they can get hold of a kwela frame so i can have a look at it.
Firstly i abused that bike like no other and it just ate anything up i could throw at it. Yes Merida you pay for the brand not the bike, And dont for one second think SB is inferior, To give you a comparison I had a middle of the range phoenix, though well its cheap so the frame is probably up to crap. Also take both of them for a ride around the parking lot,and see what feels nicer.Īs I said I have been looking at bikes and although I dont want to be "Riding" a silverback because I dont want snobs to think I am cheap,its the best value for money and their frames are good so why get anything else? So I am getting the spectra at the end of the year and I am going to love it If you are worried about price of the Spectra look at the SB Ventura (R8,200 27 speed XT rear, SLX shifters, Shimano hydraulic brakes, SLX hollow crank, Rock Sox Reba air fork, SPD pedals)Īlso Bargain with them,ask them if you can get a discount if you pay cash(ask for 10%),you should be able to get the Spectra for R11200 at least. When i asked the sales guy about why i should buy his merida instead of the SB, the best answer he could come up with is its a brand :-)Ĭovie(A member on the forum) calls them Bike Snobs on this forum,the Silverback is a South African made bike and has great gear,in fact I have heard of people buying whole Silverback bikes striping them down and using all the gear on a different frame because the specs are so good for the price.
