Hi All

A 6"+ mate over in flat lands of East Yorkshire is looking for a bling bike, he will mainly be riding local flat rides but with the odd trip up to Hamsterley. He has a great level of fitness and rides a stock standard hardtail, but what bike will get him out more often?

What bike should he get? Hardtail, Full Susser, Rigid?

He is currently thinking of the following 2

Lapierre Pro Race 500 2010

Scott Scale 35 2010

Of course I've bored him about the On One 29er Scandel and Niner hardtails, but I've posted up here in the open forum so that the collective can help him and recomend their thoughts to him. Also so that he can look in and read them
