silverback>scott>merida in term of spec.
but i dont think 3 bike is in same catagories.

Never hear of silverback, here got ppl sell?
sure u can it under rm3k?

Giant n Trek talak?
*
silverback is from Germany..so far only saw 1 shop @ sungai way selling..
they claim that silverback is famous abroad..

i've surveyed Giant Talon 2 & Trek 6000...both price is about the same, but i dun know why i dont like both..

what do you mean by not in a same categories?
all model i mention is about the same price +- 300to400

Paparock, I got a feeling you'll regret ur purchase very soon if ur based on outlook alone. 3k not a small figure, do think and consider wisely before spending IMHO.

Mind I ask, what the fascination with Merida ar?
*
Hmm..Can i know, wat's up with merida? Is the bike/brand dat bad?
Im just curious y so many ppl look down on merida....

btw, my choices are not really based on outlook alone as i did make comparison with other brand as well..
mayb i surveyed too many difference bike n brand, and now having difficulty on deciding 1 rclxub.gif

i know 3k is not a small figure, dats y i dun wan to regret later...

ehehe.. for a first fullbike.. get a bike with good components.. look at the components instead of the frame.. like what timothy said.. they are all about the same frame.. just the specified components are different between companies.. get something with a good components so that later you can just switch out your components to a "no-brand" frame..

am i right xandman? hehehehe
*
Hmm..ok..

But between THIS, THIS, and THIS,

which 1 do u think has the best components? if u were about to buy ur 1st bike again, which i would u highly recommend...

it is kinda difficult to decide.. unsure.gif

where are you located? 3K can only get you a scale 80? i thought something better than that? kona is worth looking at as well...silverback is the better specced bike.frame wise i cant comment and would prefer the scott / merida
*
im from subang jaya..today i've surveyed at 3 shop - KSH ss2, Bike Pro, Tukang Basikal Fook Sang..
N dats the best deal they can offer me..

what do u mean by can get sumting better than scale 80?any other place to recommend?

now really need ur guys help as i now know not much ppl dat r familiar w mtb except the shop SALESMAN......

tomorrow i might go to Specialized Kota Damansara n keep looking for something dat is within my budget range...

whr did you get this and at what price?..interesting that the fork actually comes in different length for each of their bike size. meaning can sumbat 120 in this machine....
