Hi All,

Wondering what bike to get, after a 29er rigid single speed on a budget. Had a quote from On One on their Inbred and seen a Kona Unit on offer but wondered if there was anything else to consider?

Cheers Sam

Been very happy with my Cannondale Trail SS 29'er and the price has been dropped a further £20 to £400.

Looks very good and a great price but was thinking of going down the steel route.

Cheers Sam

Build up an Inbred? I did mine for ~£300 with Rebas

2nd hand for me - My el mariachi came to just over £450 with a pretty decent spec (ok granted I was using some parts I had already)

what size frame & height are you Trail riders ?

I am 6'1" so would that be the Large ?

Also interested in the Cannondale Trail sizing - specifically how short you can be to get away with the medium?

For the Cannondale trail, I'm 6'2" with a 36" inside leg so went with an XL (20", my saddle is setup measuring 82cm from the top of the saddle to the centre of the bb and it's a perfect fit for me

Genesis Fortitude SS is a nice ride but a bit of a rip-off for what you get so hard to recommend at rrp
