kx100 66 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 i do quite a lot of dirt jumping and trail riding and mmy bike started of as a standers dimond back groove now the only thing left of that bike from when i boght it is the seat seat post and frame if changes it all to suit my needs hard tails are pretty in destructably considering if had that bike about 5 years and my brother started of with a hard tail and progressd on to a down hill frame and built it up then snapd the frame so stripd it all down and bought a solid 9 full sus frame and trans faird all the barts to it but for off roading and lost of down hill id preffer his bike but for all rounder id prefer hard tail as easer to build up speed with on hard surfaces as the suspention dosnt absorb all the pedaling power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratreeper 441 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Personally I would avoid halfords, for £500 I would look at getting a newish second hand bike off ebay or other trading site. Bikes lose their value very quickly, people can spend £3k on a custom balls out bike and sell it for a grand a year later it seems. This is what I have http://www.marin.co.uk/2012/bikepage.php?ModNo=12PT but the older model, Marin do great frames for the money and I haven't changed anything on mine and it has served me well (but any bike is still beyond my skill level, so that doesn't say much) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Cant see passed Specialized bikes, got a 2011 Camber myself and cant fault it. I agree with looking for a second hand bike thats got all the trimmings. If you could up your cash too about £800 i reckon you could pick up an absolute cracker............
