The 1000$ bike thread

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

hi,
have been taking a mate for rides recently (on a borrowed Superlight 29er) and he loves it and wants to really get into riding. I promised to help him find a bike.
The only issue is that he's on a strict budget of a 1000$. He loves the superlight but you'd be struggling to find that with a decent kit under 3k.
I saw that giant are selling anthem 29ers with 2x10 x7/x9 for around 1900$ NEW which I thought was an awesome deal (although I'm not exactly a giant fan) but the budget is still a 1000.

Manly Dam update for 01 Dec

Area: 
Manly Dam
Status: 
Green/Open

I did a slow loop this morning in the drizzle. Very warm and humid but there were no puddles and no problems worth mentioning so the track remains green/open.

But NB: the track was damp and I found it slippery - especially the wooden bits - although that could be my lack of skill Eye-wink

Wildlife Report: No Butcher Bird, some Ravens, one Brush Turkey and what looked like a prison Work Gang breaking rocks and sweating just above the 19th Hole.

It is not too hilly and if it is dry it is fast and fun! There is the festival at the finish which includes jumping castles and a kids race. And to top it all off there is the After Party and Presentations at the Crowne Plaza.
