Hello.
I am looking to buy an entry level MTB 29er and have seen the reviews regarding the Voodoo Bizango but thought that I would get your views before purchasing.
Could you please let me know your thoughts and alternatives. Thank you.
Very much so, search for a recent thread.
I recommend a forum search
I like the geo (not far off my whyte), would be my choice if I needed a 29er HT asap.
The magazines seem to be raving about it, not read a bad review as entry level bikes go.
Here you go

It may be entry level but the frame is spot on geo wise.
I've got one set up single speed, not much is original apart from the frame & bottom bracket. Personally I can't fault it, great fun, light to pedal up and capable on the downs. Versatile frame in terms of sliding dropouts, xx44 head tube & will take a dropper post etc.
What he said ^
Posted on the previous thread but just to confirm I still love mine! Changed nothing but the saddle and a dropper post and it's great!
How do they size up, btw?
Just out of curiosity, hypothetically like, as I happened to have some time to kill before an appointment this afternoon and wandered causally into Halfords to see what the all the fuss was about......
If you want a frame only ...keep an eye out in the classifieds ...look under 'Clink'
I'm 6ft1 and have a 20" and it's ideal!
Was riding a 19.5" trek HT and FS before and, maybe because it's what I now have, but the geo on this feels much more comfortable for my size, with the seat post up enough to allow me to move around on it comfortably!
I'm also interested in the sizing. Whats the effective measurement on the TT on the 20"?
Won't have chance to measure tonight, but can measure tomorrow evening for you if no one else gets chance before
This might help

A colleague has one, I've only ridden it briefly so couldn't really judge it but it didn't do anything wrong. I've ridden bikes costing twice as much that were less convincing tbh. Steep for my taste but then practically everything is.
Thanks Clink.
Where did you get the Geo sheet from Clink?
EDIT and nice discount! I got mine on Cycle 2 Work!
6'2" and ride a 20", suits me perfectly
It was posted my somebody else on here I think, via flickr.
It's my piccy ๐ well I hassled it out of halfords CS & posted it on flickr
Ah, nice work z1ppy!
I've got to sit on one yet but how does it compare to a Trek x Caliber? Anyone sat on or ridden both?
Also Trambler, I'm the same height, what's the stand over clearance like?
Can't help thinking that they aren't designed for people who are 5'9" with little stubby legs....
