Probably too much for me too but all weighed up was the best value I could find. I've seen older deals of $5000 with 720wh battery which would be a bargain too. The problem at this point is also stock levels. A lot of the places selling cheaper will only have XS/XL sizes, or if they do have...

Literally my same position. I've been researching and comparing prices for the past month or so with that same general budget. The only non Polygon/Marin/odd brand bikes I've seen sub-6000 are Merida and Norco. I almost went for a 2022 Orbea Wild H30 for $6000 but in the end the 500wh battery...

Cheers mate, I'll keep an eye out for some Norco sales in the meantime. Still hoping they drop to under 6000...

Thanks mate. That bike is a 2023 Rise isn't it? Bit lighter than the Wild from what I've read. So you'd recommend the Norco Sight over this, if they were similar prices?

Yea the battery is what's putting me off slightly. Having said that, I'm not a big fella (75kg) so the motor wouldn't be hauling much. The other option would be to wait for a Norco Sight A2 with battery to go on sale for $5500-6000...

Been out of the game for a while, looking at an ebike to get back amongst it. Have locked in a new 2022 Orbea Wild H30 for AUD$6000 - should I go it?

Cheers mate. All up what did the frame + delivery cost, if you don't mind me asking?

Where did you guys order your Privee Shans from? Beauties.

Agree with this. A newbie buying 2nd hand (without help) will end in tears 9 times out of 10.

Item: 2012 Specialized Camber 29 (Medium) Location: Sydney / Wollongong Item Condition: Excellent. Recently serviced by Velofix. Well looked after. Reason for selling: Too many bikes / want a hard-tail Price and price conditions: $1200 ONO Extra Info: Upgrades: SLX brakes, brand new MT66...

Actually looks pretty sweet with the mods. Fairly eye-catching so make sure you get a good lock for Christmas!

On a side note, what bike shop do you all use in the area? I've been going to Velofix since I moved, mainly because they're so close to me. Very nice guys and they know their stuff but definitely roadie focused. Any more MTB oriented stores around?

Would be happy to help out if it got the support / dirt.

Good thing you posted those jump alterations, I woulda just barrelled in there as usual and flipped my shit/self. When you say arvo, are we taking 6pm+ or earlier?

Can't edit title I'm afraid! I'm usually around weekends, if you see a guy on a blue Giant Reign grab me.
