Thanks for all the replies / info. I also got some tips from people responding outside of this forum.
I'm still looking - but maybe need to spend more time in the bike shops this weekend. My shortlist now includes Giant Anthem X T-Systems South Africa (Pty) Ltd Systems Integration: Application Support Centre Cobus van Rooyen SAP BW Consultant New Road, International Business Gateway, Midrand, 1685 PO Box 2496, Midrand, 1685 E-Mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> WWW: http://www.t-systems.co.za<http://www.t-systems.co.za/> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donald Klopper (GMail) Sent: 09 June 2010 09:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [D&D-chat] In the market for mountain bike and Thule bike rack I've got GT dualie that I mostly used to church and back. On tar. With the sun shining, but not too warm. Mostly. And: it's a LARGE. The complete frame is around one year old, so it still shines pretty. The rest of the bike has a bit of history. Oh yes, brand new SLX brakes and pedals. And a carbon stem. I think. I still need to fit it. It'll need more spacers. Fork needs serious attention. Rear shock has some missing parts. Well, it technically doesn't have those missing parts. To be honest, the bike might have seen some dirt. More specifically, dirt of the wet kind. Once or twice. OK but seriously now, be careful; GT "large" is Silverback "XL" or even "XXL". Bike sizes differ. So you really need to know what size of what brand you want. You can get some really nice Silverbacks for R15k. Or check http://www.ChainreactionCycles.co.uk and make sure you don't order a complete bike, but make a couple of orders with the different parts... otherwise you'll be hit with a 50% import duty. It's still worth it, though.

Also need a bike rack - I prefer Thule. Either the back plate on the towbar RideOn-type or 3 bike towbar type.
