Definitely my last question!
Boardman can be bought for £850 discounted from £1,000
Kahuna DDL on offer at £1,189 discounted from £1,699
Will doing mainly Canal path some red routes and a bit of single track (don't laugh might also do an endurance XC event) and have narrowed it down to the two above bikes and would welcome your experience and thoughts:
1. Boardman: http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/mountain-bikes/boardman-mountain-bike-pro-29er
Positives: better fork than Kahuna (Revelation v Recon gold), cheaper, reviews say its fast. Have also seen it at Halfords and is OK re fit (I think)
Questions: I am 6'2 and biggest is large - although sat on it cant test so is it big enough? Quality control, seen a few comments re build quality issues? BB is PF30 - will it creak argh that would drive me nuts
2. Kahuna DDL: http://2016.konaworld.com/kahuna_ddl.cfm
Positives: I think it looks better. Its available in XL.
Questions: How "stretched out" low is the front end - don't want a racing snake as now 52 and like my back. Buying online cant see and try. Fork not so good.
If it wasn't a price decision which way would you with my requirements in mind?
Appreciate any help thanks
