Doing a bit of research for a mate, he has just sold his bike and is in a conundrum about what to buy. He is after a bike that will be his main one. He is after something he can use as an all day ride, xc, still take some hits and jumps. Take to places such as cwm carn, afan, uk bike park, brechfa etc. He really does need it to go up and down most stuff, Now he is currently looking at the new remedy, the Zesty 514 and an Intense 5.5.. oh and a Nomad. I know he has a slight favourite but they all seem to fit the bill. So comments pls on each one and any cons? Would the 5.5 be too fragile to throw around once in a while? Basically he would be looking at remedy and lapierre new the intense or nomad 2nd hand. Comments pls
