Expensive? Depends on whether or not you’re likely to be hanging several grands worth of bike on them. I mean, if all you have is a couple of Tescos specials, then why pay more than £100?
I know what you’re saying, but I’d prefer to spend money on the bikes, rather than the car and any gear to get them to the trail, if you get me. Not that I’ve got any money at the moment anyway, I’m bloody brassic pretty much! Just had to borrow £2k off my old chap to get a new car, as my Passat seized its engine 2 weeks ago now.
And just as spending £4k on a mountain bike doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best thing since sliced bread, where some sub £1k bikes represent excellent performance and VFM, I’m sure that it’s the same with most other things too…
steveh, cheers for that link, they look good! Will investigate some more…
