Recomend me a mountain bike....

[Billy MR]

I'm looking for a bike but there is so many...

Its only to go and back from work, ideally needs to be nice looking no cheap shite.

 

[Simon@NTS]

price range?

 

[Billy MR]

Ain't got one

 

[Simon@NTS]

0-600 is a halfrauds jobby, the carrera range aint bad and no its not a Porsche, £1000 can see you an entry level Specialized or Giant

 

[Billy MR]

Would mind a nice secondhand specialised need to look nice next to evo

 

[Evo8Frankie]

Orange Patriot wins it for me every time.............. but you will need to take a loan out

 

[Dirtmatt]

Would really depend on what you want to spend and if your happy with second hand...

To be honest couldn't touch Carreras, Saracen, kona.. Plus a lot of companies are now making 27, 28 inch wheeled bikes. Can't say I'm a fan but for rising to work would be a better idea. Tyre prices are stupid mind.

My mate just bought a cannondale which is a nice bike £1200 decent ish spec from what he said.

Road bike an option?

 

[Simon@NTS]

You can 100% feel the ride difference from a £100 piece of concrete to a £1000 specialized, if you going to ride it for a good period of time, get the latter!

 

[Billy MR]

How much are they? Just found cube seems to make nice bikes?

Patriot is a nice bike, sub 5 would be ok for riding to work..

Get on the cycle to work scheme bill, you can pay in instalments and the bikes are discounted.

Did think about it as a way of getting back into dh lol..

Lefty forks were silly if you ask me..

If it was my money would buy an intense

 

[Evo8Frankie]

Yeah tell me about it i had one for about 3 months............. and it was robbed :cry:. it was light, fast and very very strong, i couldn't recommend one enough but they are very dear:shock:

 

[Simon@NTS]

Well the fork did eventually wear out and was only servicable by Cannondale in the states at a cost of £1000, wankers!

 

[Billy MR]
