Just come back from my Stag Do, which involved a bit of riding at Dalby. Little brother borrowed my Scott Scale for the day and loved it, so much so, he now wants to get his own bike!
He reckoned on spending around £400, but I reckon could be pushed up to £450. So what's good at that money?
Having had a brief trawl of the internet I've come up with a few, but don't really know much about bikes at this level. So any thoughts on the following would be much appreciated (and all the others I've missed).
Spesh Hardrock Comp or Sport disk
C'dale trail Sl 6
Fisher Wahoo disk
Scott Aspect
Trek 4300 disk
I suspect that with the Cannondale, there is a lot of paying for the name. The Fisher, Scott and Trek could all be had from my LBS which would be ideal, and I personally would go for the Fisher for no good reason other than it looks good!
