Obviously buying at nothing like the £900 rrp….anyone seen anything better in terms of a brand new vfm classic hardtail?

It’s this or a used bike – which is becoming a bit of challenge to find.

Not for me, but for my mate who simply wants to join our little group but really has no more that £550 to spend.

Only weakish part looks to be the Tora forks, but sure they are reliable enough and all a newbie would need….

Looks good for £580 from a few places.

Looks like a good bike for the money, a quick google search and I can see them for £650, At that price it looks like a steal. Good starting point for a new rider. Plenty of opportunity for future upgrades, although it will do most riders until the parts wear out.

£540 @ Merlin, fantastic value.
