Those carrera bikes from halfords seem to be well spec'd for the price. I'm going to have a look down halfords before I make myself 100% of the specialized

they are pal seen the same spec on chris boardmans ,treks ,etc etc i spent well over £1500 on that cheerydabomb and payed £450 for my carrera and they hardly no difference but its the same with anythink you can spend as much as you like the list is endless

This ones about 11 or 12 years old now. Was £995 new, upgraded everything except frame since then.

Running full XT set and air forks. Still a cracking bike.

Run the dogs alongside when getting them fit.

I have an older model of this http://www.marin.co.uk/2012/bikepage.php?ModNo=12PT. I think I paid about £800...can't really remember but it is a great bike and I don't think I will ever be good enough to need anything better.

Done me proud for 15 years about. Though had to change the suspension rubbers a couple of times

Not another mountain biker When you do go out for a ride, please follow the law and stick to the roads or bridle paths! I am sick to death of telling thick cu*t riders to Fu*k off riding over shoot land and that a footpath or green lane is not for bikes to play on, and nine times out of ten they reply but it says public on the sign yes it does you retard but the other word says footpath! the clue is in the word footpath as to what you can do on this piece of land.

 

Rant over.

Green lanes are OK for MTBs legally

Very smart bike that, what make and model isit?

[hullhunter 219]

it all depends what your into ive had 3 marins an east peak, alpine trail and the mount vision and snaped all 3 frames when raceing. then i got a sun cant remember what type but was a good bike they dont make them any more.

then i got my pace frame and bilt it up i put mavic d521 dh pro drims with dt spokes and hope biguns hubs with panracer dh pro tyers, tripple tryangle bars, raceface stem and racerace 3 pice crank with dmr v12 peddles. had hope 4 pot brakes with lightning disks, bommer z1 dropoff forks then i had a derailer of a racer it was very small i think it was a shimino 9236 or somthing like that best thing i ever put on it and i had used the lot lx,xt,xtr and non of them were as good as it.and an xtr shifter.

 

if i were you i would build your own you will end up with a much better bike dmr are making some good frames at the moment.and good prices too.

 

this is the frame after i had it sprayed. witch is the only part i have left as ive sold the rest.
