bandicoot Posted November 11, 2009 Share Hi, I'm planning on buying a 2010 Silverback Alpine (for R3500-00 new). Can anybody please comment / give advise on my choice ? Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trubie Posted November 11, 2009 Share I bought one in JulyNice bike @ nice priceUsed it in 2 races and ridden it about 5 times thus far - so not an expert opinion by any means. (Road 1st, 2nd, 3rd, MTB 10th ) My experience is that the bike offers all I want/need at this stage. Its heavier than most out there, but its rigid, can take some hammering and goes fast enough for my liking. Obviously being a hardtail, technical sections are a big test.I managed a top 20 and top 45 finish in the races, so if you belive its about the bike - it can go some... good luck with the decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted November 23, 2009 Share bandicoot - what did you decide - just so happens I might be looking at buying the same bike, but not sure if i should hold out for a better spec second hand one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandicoot Posted November 23, 2009 Share Hi Lori, I'm really really happy with the bike. I actually got my wife the Alpine Femme version and she's also very happy. I haven't taken it to the 'bush' yet but so far no complaints. Gear shifting is smooth, disc brakes excellent....I'm very happy. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
