A mate wants to get into mtb and has £500-600 to spend. Looking at second hand as clearly where the value is but last time I posed the same question for my brother the hive mind came up with a new purchase at half price that was an immediate buy!
Any decent bargains out there?
Calibre Line 10 is currently £599. Decent spec. Think the offer is up to the end of today only though.
Second hand Whyte 901. It's what I did, and it's a chuffing wonderful thing.
This budget range: hardtail from Calibre bikes!
Not the best pre-assembly quality. But their designs are good and components quite good.
https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/mountain-bikes/voodoo-bizango-29er-mens-mountain-bike-16-18-20-22-frames has to be a contender at the current £520 price, it has often won awards for sub £750 mtbs.
Second hand.
I have an 18" on one parkwood 29er for sale with a reverb dropper and rockshox pike forks.
£400
