Hello,
Lovely ride into work down the trails today, apart from snapping my frame.
Never mind though - the trails are dry, spring is in the air and I didn't fall off when it broke.
It also means I can start speculating about what to buy to replace it.
So, as per the title I'm looking for a versatile hardtail. This has probably been asked loads before but It's fun to ask again anyway.
Must have:
Singlespeed and geared capability (e.g. ebb, slidey dropouts)
Take a 120mm+ fork
Come in a big-ish size (19.5" - 20")
27.2 + seatpost tube so I can run an uppy-downy seatpost if I want to.
Strong enough to take a beating under 14st of bloke.
Take a nice wide tyre (2.3" +)
Nice to have:
The lighter the better, though I'm more bothered about strength (to a point)
Rack / mudguard mounts
Not really that fussed about material to be honest. I just want a bike that's fun to ride and begs to be hammered round the woods.
Spending up to about £300 I suppose.
These have sprung to mind so far:
On-one Scandal
Pipedream Sirrius 853
On-one inbred (cheapo option)
Owt else?
