    G’day!

    My friend wants to get back into MTB’ing after some years away. He has around £1K burning a hole in his pocket. What should he get and why?

    Thanks in advance,
    Matt.

    You’ll get an awful lot of beet for £500

    Where will he/you ride?

    what sort of riding does he want to do? XC Bridleway bashing? Messing around in the woods? Bit of both?

    Once he’s got through his beet 😉 he’ll probably be doing XC. He doesn’t want to do proper downhill. He’s a Gloucester boy but will probably ride with me a fair bit around Cheltenham. Forest of Dean is close. Cwmcarn is not far and Afan is doable in a day.

    Cheers!
    Matt.

    Reading the OP I was going to say an Inbred / sektor forked full build. They were about 7-800 notes. But that X9 456 is very good value. The Deore one is too.
