Bro has a lovely Spesh FSR carbon from a couple of years ago. He's now living in Sevenoaks and has decided he wants a HT to ride through the winter. Mainly as I've entered him for the Dartmoor Classic Sportif and he's pooing himself about his lack of riding 🙂
My recommendation was a Genesis Core something. I'm sure there's other stuff out there for a similar price (£1000ish) I hadn't considered. He doesn't want a frame only, needs a full build.
He's not going to be hucking it off 5 foot drops. Just wants a decent frame with decent kit that'll be fun to ride on singletrack and not too heavy (as he has that angle covered!)
What else should I be telling him about? Ta.
456
another fat bloke has a nice frame for sale on clasifieds....... 😉
and ignore me cos i am a fool...........and just read the thread.
sorry.
If it is just for XC/Singletrack, how about a Rock Lobster from Merlin? Steel or ally with full slx and rebas for £1050.
He's only 5ft10 Tony, don't think he'd be able to get on anything you have second hand without a ladder 🙂 I did say to him 2nd hand would be way better but he's determined to buy new.
I'll have a look at Merlin, been a while since I checked out their range. Ta
