2013 Merida 1-20 Dual Suspension 26" Mountain Bike
Size Large (20")
Only rode the frame twice - mix of brand new components and components off my previous frame
A really nice bike at a bargain price! The Merida's don't get a lot of coverage in the media, but this is a really fun bike and the remote lever for the rear shock really brings the suspension to life. Perfect for XC / Trail riding.
Custom build:
- Rear Shock: Brand new 2013 Fox Float CTD Factory with Boost Valve and Remote
(Note: comes with a 2014 remote - massive improvement on the 2013 remote!)
Recommendations for noobs
Been developing quite a legion of noobs to MTBing of late and one of them has asked what he should get as his first dual suspension.
I'm some what cringe at the notion that he said he wanted to get one off ebay but it aint my stoush, so i told him to go with a Stumpie over a Giant Trance, both 4 years old.
Question is... is ebay ever a good place to get your first rig? And does anyone wanna offload an old dual suspension rig for around $800?

Softtail HELP!! Specialized Vs Scott Vs Giant?!?
Hey guys,
I'm looking at a cross country, dual suspension for under $2500. Almost half my riding will be ON-ROAD.
I will be using it for moderate/difficult fire trails and UP/DOWN bush tracks (no huge drops, no extreme downhill). My main concerns are LIGHTWEIGHT (14kg max) and at least front SUSPENSION LOCK.
Currently considering (all around $2000):
1/ Scott Aspect FX 15 (front & back lock suspension, 13.9kg)
2/ Specialised FSR-XC Comp (highly reccomended by a friend).
3/ Giant Anthem 2 <--- The talk of the town (fantastic front fork, excellent value, propedal)
Duallies, 2
Cooling the duallies down after a DH run.
For the geeks: Kona Stinky (closest) & Santa Cruz VP-Free.

Back at the carpark giving the bikes a breather after a DH run.
