whats a good xc bike for the price
Orange Crush 2010.
£1100.
Brilliant.
Cube LTD Race
Boardman Pro
2nd orange crush - fantastic value and brilliant fun.
I just got one of these, [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/CBOO456TR/456-trail ]On-One 456 Trail[/url]I think it is ace, very sure footed. Best speck for the money I could find 🙂 I got a 20" and it weights around 27lb.
It's just a great to ride 🙂
This, probably:
The Crush has some good points but also some bad, it's a really weird choice of parts- 140mm fork, fairly burly frame, but all rolling on 117s. I'd expect better rims from a £500 bike tbh. Very obviously "We want named brands! But we don't want to pay for them. Consumers don't look past the sticker"
You could have one of [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/custom-mountain-bikes/cove-mountain-bikes/cove-handjob-custom-bike.html ]these[/url] for not much more than that.
Genesis Altitude 10.
steel frame, u-turn forks, deore/SLX mix - I think they're excellent
second the altitude, sweet bikes.
look to get the best frame and forks you can at this price , wheels you can allways upgrade them later . the crush is a great bike and the wheels on mine have been ok so far unlike the flexy wheels on the boardman...
boardman pro surely - reba race forks, xo rear mech, thats 500quid just for those two parts alone!
incredible value and the frame looks lovely in the flesh, a few choice upgrades down the line and you have a pretty awesome bit of kit!
im getting a cotic soul build for £1,300,slightly over the grand mark,but wanting a change from my previous p7`s and wanting to keep it steel and after reading the reviews of the frame,i could nt resist!!
that dialled morning glory one advertised on classifieds now.
